Surface Preparation

• All surfaces must be clean, dry, free of dust, chalk, oil, grease, wax, polish, mold and mildew, loose or peeling paint, rust and all other foreign substances
• If washing is necessary, use a non-soapy detergent or a TSP substitute, rinse well and allow to dry
• Peeling or Checked Paint: Scrape off loose paint and sand to a smooth surface
• Glossy Surfaces: For maximum adhesion, scuff sand the surface thoroughly before priming
• Mold or Mildew Covered Surfaces: Any existing mold and/or mildew on the surface MUST be removed before priming or painting. Wash the area with a mildew remover, rinse with water and allow to dry before priming
• Masonry, Brick and Plaster: KILZ KITCHEN & BATH Primer may be used on clean, dry, aged masonry surfaces. New masonry must be allowed to cure (dry) at least 30 days before applying KILZ KITCHEN & BATH Primer

Application

• Eye protection is recommended. For spray applications, a small amount of water (no more than 1/2 pint per gallon) may be added. Do not thin for stainblocking applications
• Only apply if surface, air and product temperatures are between 50°-90°F (10°-32°C). Stir thoroughly before and occasionally during use. Apply using a brush, roller or sprayer
• Brush – High quality Nylon/Polyester
• Roller – High quality 3/8"-1/2" nap on smooth surfaces or 1/2"-3/4" nap on semi-rough or porous surfaces
• Airless spray – .017" - .021" tip / 60 mesh filter
• Prime the entire surface to ensure a uniform appearance of the topcoat
• Stainblocking: After priming, test for stain bleed-through by applying the topcoat to a small section. If the stain bleeds through the topcoat, apply a second coat of primer and test again before topcoating the entire area. If bleeding continues, a longer dry time is needed before topcoating
• Tinting: KILZ KITCHEN & BATH Primer may be tinted with up to 2 ounces of universal colorant per gallon. Tinting to a lighter shade than the topcoat is recommended
• Coverage: 300 - 400 sq. ft. (27.87 - 37 m2) per gallon depending on application method and surface porosity
