I usually have a tin of 123 in the van, Find it a great primer sealer on old flaky/scared interior walls prior to wallpaper,or just emulsion. I tried it as a primer for an aluminium garage door (like it says on can) 2 yrs ago and its sound. Meant i could prime/u/c and gloss in one day. long day tho
I use it on sapele doors as a basecoat (it goes scratchproof in time) when customers want white doors. all seems ok so far. But no good on damp stains. on nicotine it's hit and miss. I still use solvent u/c for nico.

Yes, "confidentincompetent" it is rubbish for nicotine stains and water marks. However i used 123 a while back for touching up (30cm square) a water stained gyproc cieling. Then i emulsioned over the hole cieling and the touched up area had the stain still bleeding through and i could see an obvious different shhen coming from the patched area, grrrrrrrrrrr. I bloody had to scrape back all artex on cieling, then seal again with polycell stain block, then plaster over, then emulsion over. Basically the product turned to be nightmare for touching up and stain blocking. Though is is good for other things as you stated

As I said third, I still use solvent u/c for stains mostly (thinned with white spirit so it dont look frumpy). Was brought up like that lol, ok these expensive blockers do work eventually they seem to be hit & miss and sometimes two coats are needed but, I feel more confident using me old u/c and know it will work first time. Time costs money for me. Poor old fing ain I lol.
