Questions & Answers
Is this product suitable to prime green treated wood
Will this cover smoke on the wall from burning a pot on the stove. How long do I wait to paint the color over it.
Hi Regina, thank you for your question. Kilz 2 Primer will cover light stains. If you're covering a tough stain, then it is best to use a stronger stain-blocking primer such as the oil-based Kilz Original or water-based Kilz Restoration. After priming, you can topcoat in one hour or more with the paint of your choice. Good luck with your project! -Giovanna
Can this be used to prime & seal terra cotta pots?
Hi Barbara, thanks for your question. As it turns out, we don't recommend using our Kilz 2 Primer on terra cotta clay surfaces. Enjoy the rest of your day. -Christina
Coverage for 1 quart.
Hi Paul, thank you for your question. Our Kilz 2 All-Purpose Primer covers 75-100 sq. ft. per quart. Have a great day! -Adelina
Does it cover cigarette smoke nicotine?
Hi Mary, Thank you for your question. Our Kilz 2 Primer is designed to seal over light to medium stains, so it isn't recommended for blocking heavy stains such as smoke stains. Instead, I recommend checking out our Restoration Primer. It's designed to block heavy stains and smoke-related odors. If you have other questions or concerns, please reach out to us directly; we are always happy to help. -Alex
How long after I applied the primer can I put paint on top of it?
Hi Wagner, thank you for your question. You can apply your topcoat after the 1-hour recoat time. Have a great day! -Alex
will this paint cover cigarette smoke
Hi smoke, thanks for reaching out. Our Kilz 2 is not designed to cover nicotine/smoke stains and odors. Instead, you can use our Kilz Restoration Primer. Have a great day! -Christina
Will kiltz primer seal in pet urine smell in subfloor
Hi Charles, thanks for the question. Our Kilz 2 Primer isn't an odor-blocking primer. Instead, I'd suggest using our Restoration Primer or Kilz Original Oil-Based Primer for sealing in the pet odors on the subfloor. If you have additional questions about your project, please reach out to us directly. Our customer care team is happy to help. -Ronald
