## Resource

The Technical Side of Primer — Resins, Stain-Blocking Chemistry & What Really Creates a Durable Finish If you’ve ever wanted to peek under the hood of primer and understand exactly what makes it perform the way it does, Episode 20 is your grand finale. Val breaks down the technical side of primer — from resin types and solvent behavior to stain-blocking chemistry and why certain formulas outperform others on specific surfaces. You’ll learn what’s happening at a molecular level (yes, really), why some primers grip like a dream while others fail, and how these details impact your sanding, painting, curing, and long-term durability. Even experienced flippers will walk away saying, “Okay… I did not know that.” And since this episode covers more science than your average paint aisle conversation, the Primer Power Workbook includes simplified notes and diagrams to make everything easy to revisit later. Print it out, keep it nearby, and impress people by casually throwing around words like “resin structure.” 😉 Grab your workbook here: ValFrania.com/PrimerWorkbook
