![]() ![]() ![]() No, there are two basic kinds of paint chemistry, oil based and water based. If it was me, I'd do all the priming with a conventional latex or interior alkyd primer. I don't see a problem using one primer for the corners and cutting in, and then doing everything else with KILZ using a roller as long as you allow time for the first primer to dry completely before applying the KILZ. If you do that, then I'd encourage you to buy a quart of any general purpose primer to do the interior corners (where you can't get in with a roller) and for any cutting in you'll need to do. You might be thinking: Well, I'll use the KILZ cuz I'm gonna apply it with a roller anyhow. In your case, I would suggest using any general purpose latex primer or interior alkyd primer instead of KILZ. Really, about the only successful way of applying KILZ is with a paint roller. Essentially, KILZ thinner evaporates so quickly that you have to be very conscience of getting the stuff down quickly (within a half minute) and then leaving it alone or you end up with the product so thick that you can't spread it without making a mess of it. KILZ uses that rapid evaporation of the naptha to encapsulate any stains bleeding through the wet KILZ film so that the stain doesn't diffuse all the way through the wet KILZ film to discolour it's surface (and hence, "bleed through" the KILZ film).īecoming thick enough fast enough that a stain won't diffuse all the way through the KILZ film is an effective way at stopping stains from bleeding through KILZ, but it's also an effective way to make a primer that you can't apply with a brush without making a brush stroke mess and tearing your hair out. In fact, naptha evaporates about 5 times as fast as mineral spirits. Naptha is camping fuel, and in order to keep a good cooking flame going, the fuel has to be volatile enough to evaporate rapidly. ![]() KILZ uses a mixture of 60 percent naptha and 40 percent mineral spirits as it's thinner. Conventional alkyd primers will use 100% mineral spirits as the thinner. The idea here is that if the primer becomes too thick for a stain to diffuse through quickly enough, then you can encapsulate the stain within the primer film. KILZ is nothing more than a conventional interior alkyd primer that uses a rapidly evaporating thinner. An ordinary general purpose latex primer or interior alkyd primer would be a better choice. You CAN use KILZ as a primer, but it's really not an appropriate use of that product. ![]()
