DTM primer or sealer? It's the same can #shorts

Primer or sealer? Valspar's DTM2004 is both, and its label says so: DTM Surfacer/Sealer. Valspar's own data sheet: 4:1:1 by volume is the primer surfacer; 4:1:2, one more part of reducer, is the sealer. Let the sealer flash dull 5–10 minutes between coats, and topcoat in 20–30 minutes with no sanding for up to 8 hours.
