Hello:

Have a brownish water stain on a ceiling (leak has been corrected).

Guess it would be a good idea to put KILZ down prior to repainting with
latex paint..

There seem to be so many KILZ products, not sure what to use for this
application.

From their site: "PRIMERS are coatings applied to a surface to provide a
firm bond between the substrate and finish coat.

SEALERS are coatings that prevent the surface from absorbing paint or
leaching from the substrate. "

Do I want a Primer or Sealer ?
Which one ?

Primer, it's a normally dry area. Kilz products are good, but just
because it was wet doesn't need you need the mildewcide/etc. Unless
there was a mold growth, any quality primer will be as good...
