A:  Hi Clarina, thank you for your question. As it turns out, the Kilz Klear Primer does not provide the benefit of stain-blocking, and any wood knots may bleed through. To prevent this, it's best to use a stain-blocking primer such as the Kilz 3 Premium Primer. Have a great day! - Randy

A:  Hi J3joe, thank you for your question. As it turns out, our Kilz Klear Primer is not recommended for steel surfaces.
