Default Painting over poly

Hey Joe:

Got some poly I need to paint over. Assumed I would have to use oil
base primer. Was the Kilz you used the stinky oil or latex? If
latex, how long has it been up?

This is the inside of one of those crank windows that swing out.
Temp difference in mid winter between outside and inside can be as
much as 100 degrees.

Of course, I'll be using exterior on it.

Thanks


Painting over "poly" should be no big deal. It has to be clean, free
of gloss, dust and grease - same goes for any coating. Kilz is just
a brand name.


I know. It's just what I had around, and will for the next 300 years.


I just set a calendar reminder and will get back with you then :-)

The prior owner of this house did a great job of cleaning paint can
rims and making sure they were sealed well. Then, he left 8 cans here
when he moved, each at least half full. I would've called him & asked
if he wanted any of it, but he's across the country.
