ᐅ Which primer is suitable for drywall?

Hello,

which primer is better suited for drywall: acrylic or hydrosol? The surface will be painted with wall paint. As far as I know, hydrosol penetrates deeper and strengthens the surface more, but the question I have is whether I want that for drywall.

Best regards,
Jens

The cheapest one you can find at the home improvement store. It’s only to reduce the absorbency of the boards.

Do you need to be concerned about pollutants with the cheap options?

No. They are all free of harmful substances—although depending on your personal definition, you might still consider them heavily contaminated.
