Hello,

A few fairly light to medium orange water stains have developed on our
white bathroom ceiling due to water dam. *The typical problem.

A bit on in age now, and I would like to have to re-paint the ceiling
only once, if practical. It's a real job for me to do nowadays.

I know the smart way is to coat the stains with, I think I read to use
shellac (?), and then a white paint. *This is supposed to prevent
additional bleed-thru.

Is there any product I can use that stands a good chance of doing it in
one coating/step ?

What about this KILZ I've heard about ? Would that do it in a single step
and prevent further bleeding thru of the stain
(assuming no more water leakages) ?

I think there are also similar products under different names, perhaps ?

Any thoughts would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob

IMO, Kiltz is krap.

Forget the Kilz and fork over the cash for the original Bins, *a shellac
based white stain killer. *Normally covers completely in on rolled on
coat. Really heavy stains may take two.

I have killed water stains, smoker stains *and heavy fire smoke damage
with a single coat.

Sold at Lowes for about $25 a gallon. *May be at Home Depot also.

Open the windows or the alcohol base will make you high. *Throw away the
roller or clean with denatured alcohol.

if the drywall is damaged AT ALL, cut out and replace the areas. not
only will you get a better job but this allows you to take a look and
confirm all leaks are absolutely repaired/

theres nothing worse than thinking you fixed the leak, repainting the
room and finding its still leaking....

take it down for a inspection you may find other things of interest....
