Q:Can it be used in the bathtub
by|Apr 17, 2024
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  Hi Blac, thank you for your question. As it turns out, we don't advise using any of our primers on bathtubs because they are not designed to be submerged in water or have constant contact with it. This can cause the product to fail, and we want to ensure that your project is a successful one. Instead, we recommend you visit your local hardware store and ask for a product recommendation best suited for your specific project needs. Good luck with your project! - Alex

    Answer This Question

    A:  Hi Lbater, thank you for your question. As it turns out, we don't recommend our Kilz Mold & Mildew Primer for floors. Instead, we recommend using our Kilz 3 Premium Primer to prime the concrete and use a non-adhesive underlayment and flooring. Please feel free to reach out to us directly if you have any other questions. Have a great day! - Randy

      Q:Can I paint over mold and mildew

      Answer This Question

      A:  Hi Mirth, thank you for your question. When applying the Kilz Mold and Mildew Primer, the surface should cleaned as best as possible and allowed to dry before priming. This primer is designed to block stains and future mold/mildew growth through the primer film and should be painted over within 30 days of being applied. Have a great day! - Randy

          A:  Hi Timmy, thank you for your question. The Kilz Mold and Mildew Primer can be applied to plaster walls, providing excellent stain-blocking benefits. However, it's hard to say exactly what could be causing this to occur on the ceiling. If the liquid has left a stain on the ceiling, we recommend thoroughly cleaning and allowing the surface to dry before spot priming using the Kilz 3 Premium Heavy-Duty Stain-Blocking Primer or Kilz Original Primer and top coating with your preferred paint. Have a great day! - Randy

            60 years of cigarette smoke and cooking oil
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product covered all mildew and cigarette smoke from the past 60 years . Took that nasty deep brownish yellow tint to a nice clean smelling white with no stains and bleeding of the cigarette smoke. The kicthen had a vent a hood that was never installed properly so every4hing was covered in oil and cigarette smoke. After cleaning Kilz was amazing at covering it up and making it smell great. It looks like a new house and kicthen

              Wonderful product
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My cousin had moved into my house and had 2 dogs and 2 cats she kept in her room. After a year she moved out. The room had mildewaround and under the window which she left open for the dogs. The room also was yellowish from her smoking. I bought this product to help with the odors in the room after I could not get the smell out. After only one coat the smell and yellowish tint disappeared. The mold/ mildew has not returned!

                          Response from Ronald, Kilz Customer CareFeb 16, 2024
                          Hi Chris, thank you for reviewing our Primer. We’re sorry to hear that you had an issue with the primer bonding with the plaster. To fix the areas where the primer peeled, I’d recommend removing any loose paint or primer, lightly sanding the area with 180-grit sandpaper, cleaning the area and letting it dry, and then reapplying the primer. I’ve also reached out to you via email to see how we can assist you further. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience with us, and I hope to hear from you soon! -Ronald

                              Window restoration underway! Kilz for the win!
