I would have used Zinnser Stain Seal with 2 coats of undercoat and 1 or 2 top coat. The main problem most people have is overloading, trying to get too much coverage/opacity from each coat. That's why you get curtaining. You can sand curtaining out of primer but it needs to be fully dry, use a 240 grit paper sanding lightly across the very dry primer and you'll take off the ridges. You can also scrape them off with a very sharp blade/chisel, that takes a bit more practice though.
