I have an extra gallon of drywall primer, and I’m wondering if I can use it on bare wood trim. The label only mentions drywall so I’m a little hesitant, but I hate to have this gallon go to waste.
I’m sorry, I thought you wanted it done the right way.

I am certain ya can..I have seen countless painters spray the walls and the trim, doors at the same time, same stuff.

Great. With the money I save by not buying another gallon of wood primer, maybe I'll get a subscription to a good building magazine.

Go ahead, if you like trim wood rough as a cob. It'll stick, but the extra body fibre will stabnd up like the ahir on a scarred hound.

There are two types of PVA primer - 1. Polyvinyl Acetate, and 2. Polyvinyl Acryllate. Neither one is made for bare wood applications.
Primer is made to chemically bond itself to the surface that it is applied to, and then the topcoat is chemically bonded to the primer.
Primer's are made for different applications (i.e. metal, wood, drywall, concrete, etc...)
To ensure a proper, and long lasting paint job, use the correct primer for the application at hand. PVA primer ain't it.
Just my humble opinion...
