Questions & Answers
Can you add color from any brand to this bank?

Hello, silly question, I'm using adhesive vinyl tiles and I'll be using an adhesive glue before laying down the tiles. Will the adhesive glue stick after Kilz Klear applicaton? This will be used to help seal under our washing machine from future leaks.
Hi Kari, thank you for your question. As it turns out, we have not tested our products under adhesives. We recommend checking with the adhesive manufacturer to confirm it can be used over a water-based primer like our Kilz Klear Primer. Have a great day! -Lina
Probably a stupid question but I’m an amateur. My bathroom fan is old and little brown specs of mold keep forming on my bathroom walls and ceiling. Can I use this on my bathroom ceiling and then do I paint over it?
Hi there, thanks for the question. Yes, after applying the Mold & Mildew Primer, it does need to be top-coated with paint. Also, if there is any existing mold on the walls or ceiling, it needs to be removed before applying the primer. If you have additional questions about your project, please reach out to us directly. Our customer care team is happy to help. -Ronald

Can I use this as my primer on new drywall in my bathroom and then use Behr paint and primer in one as my top coat?
Hi Ryan, thanks for the question. Yes, our Mold & Mildew Primer is a great choice for priming the drywall in your bathroom before applying the Behr paint. Have a great day! -Ronald
must a finish coat be applied when using indoors?
Hi james, thank you for your question. Our Kilz primers are not formulated to perform like paint and are unable to withstand exposure to the elements for extended periods of time. We recommend top-coating primers within 30 days of application, whether an interior or exterior project, to prevent any issues. Have a great day! -Alex
Yes, this is a primer coat not a finish coat. Mike

Hi Joan, thank you for your question. The recommended temperature range for applying our Kilz Mold & Mildew Primer is 50-90 degrees Fahrenheit. Have a great day! -Lina
