Kilz Primer/Sealer: Water Or Oil Based To Use ?
Hello,
I have a water stain (brownish) on my bathroom ceiling. Problem has been corrected, and I don't expect a repeat. Would like to put Kilz Primer/Sealer over the stain. Since I don't expect any further leakage, can I use a water based Kilz instead of their oil based product ? Or, would the brownish stain would eventually bleed thru any water based Kilz, even though the stain is dry now ? The reason I ask, is that the ceiling is presently painted with a latex paint, and if I have to put the Kilz over the whole ceiling to make things blend well for the future topcoat of a regular paint, I know an oil based product like Kilz oil would probably not go over the presently latex painted ceiling well. Thanks, B. |

It is irrelevant what the base of the primer is. kilz oil based primer appears to work better |

Or, would the brownish stain would eventually bleed thru any water based Kilz, even though the stain is dry now ? That's what primer does - cover stains. It is irrelevant what the base of the primer is. I've had nicotine bleed through several coats of the water-based Kilz, and this was on a wall that had been cleaned pretty thoroughly with TSP. I had high hopes for the water-based, but no luck. One coat of the oil-based did the trick. So the type of primer most definitely makes a difference. That's nicotine, though. I don't know what caused your stain, but it sounds to me like it would make sense to give the water-based a try & see if it gets the job done. It's more expensive, though. Maybe you could find it in quart size. (Our local Sears had gallons only, if I recall). |

the water based kilz is worthless. Use the original.
