        Can this be used on masonite before painting? Apply directly or would the surface have to be scuffed?

        Answer This Question

        Hello, thank you for your question. Yes, Kilz 2 Primer can be used on masonite. The surface should be sound, clean, dry, and scuff sanded if the finish has a gloss to promote adhesion. Good luck with your project! -Giovanna

          Hi Joe347, thanks for your question. We don't recommend using our Kilz 2 on a roof surface. Its best to find an alternative primer for your local hardware store. Enjoy the rest of your day. -Christina

            can this be used for stained wood

            Answer This Question

            Hi Darrel, thanks for the question. Our Kilz 2 Primer can be used for priming over stained wood on vertical surfaces. If the stained wood is glossy, it should be scuff-sanded first to help with the adhesion of 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 to paint on a cement bench in full sun? I have sanded some of the old paint off because it blistered. Will this primer do the same?

                Answer This Question

                Hi Margaret, thank you for your question. You can use Kilz 2 Primer to prime a cement bench. The surface should be sound, clean, and dry. Once primed, be sure to use an appropriate exterior paint to topcoat the primer. Good luck with your project! -Giovanna

                    Very good brush!
                    Very good quality brush. Loved the precision. I would buy it again.

                      It painted smoothly and was comfortable to hold. Although, personal preference, I like the longer handle one better.

                      Seriously - Read this - I saw the name Kilz and thought it will be great - it is not
                      Wow - what a surprise - 11 days after priming a built in bookcase (not my first rodeo) and put paint sample colors up with painters tape and the tape lifted the primer! What the what!!?? Granted $17 for a two gallon Home Depot bucket - you get what you pay for! Lesson learned no bargain here!! The first time I used Kilz was in 1991 at my first home due to nicotine stains being heinous on the house walls - worked beautifully. Several years ago painted with Kilz to cover dark paint - no issue - this “exclusive to Home Depot” version - don’t bother! I’m just hoping if I re prime that I now don’t have a “lift layer” from the old color to the future color - it’s a 17 foot long wall with built in shelves . . . Wish me luck!

                      Hello, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that the painter's tape removed the primers. That's not normal, and I can understand your disappointment. To fix this, I recommend sanding off the loose primer, cleaning the surface, and touching up. To improve adhesion of the primer, I recommend scuff sanding the surface. I would also recommend using low-adhesion tape for freshly painted surfaces. We appreciate you sharing your feedback with us. Please reach out to us directly if you need further assistance. Our Customer Care team is happy to help! -Giovanna Kilz

                        For $7, these are my go-to brushes for all my house projects. They apply paint smoothly and accurately. The rubber handle also makes them comfortable to grip. These brushes really elevate my mediocre painting skills, and I always keep a couple handy with my painting supplies. Bonus, they fit inside ziploc sandwich-size bags for storage during projects!

                          Kilz-IT!
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using Kuiz products for decades, no need to use any other. I most frequently use Kilz 2 when I do full repaints or want to fet a good dusting on assorted raw materials. Kilz 2 provides a perfect canvass for any finish coat im using. I also use it to spray ceilings to brighten them up. Love that I know exactly what to expect and at a reasonable price point.

                            This is an awesome little brush. Very comfortable in my hand. Painted an entire house with just this 2 in angled brush. Paint job turned out really well.

                            The is one of the best little paint brushes I've ever used. I love how the handle bends and the angle of the bristles.
