Wood Primer

Here are the primers from Menards - should I just get a small size of the first 3 oil based ones for testing? 

1. Oil based-
   1. Majic Barricade - $100 for 5 gal - [4]

 Looks good.

1. 
   
   1. Zinsser oil based $135 5 gal[5]

This one doesn't specifically say it blocks wood tannins, so it might not work for the joists. 

1. 
   
   1. Conco $120- [8]

Looks good 

 

1. 
   
   1. Zinsser odorless $200 5 gal [6]

This one doesn't specifically say it blocks wood tannins, so it might not work for the joists.

1. 
   
   1. Zinsser cover stain - $170 5 gal [7]

Looks good 

 

1. Shellac
   1. Is Zinsser Synthetic shellac any good? $218 per 5 gal [10]. Here is a review. [11]

I have already tested this one.The color and texture are awful. And since it's water based it raises the grain of the wood. This is definitely not a good primer for wood.
