Stain Blocking

Question 1

Choosing a brand is all about finding what works best for you. We offer brands like KILZ 2, Ze-Vo, and KILZ.

Question 3

What are the benefits of using a stain-blocking primer?

Accepted Answer

Stain-blocking primers are specially formulated to prevent stains, tannins, and other imperfections from bleeding through the final paint or stain. This is especially important when working with surfaces like wood that can have knots or discoloration. Using a stain-blocking primer will ensure your paint job looks clean and even without any unwanted surprises.

Question 4

What type of primer should I use for my wood furniture?

Accepted Answer

When working with wood furniture, you'll want to choose a primer designed specifically for wood. These primers are often oil-based and provide excellent adhesion to the wood grain, preventing the paint from peeling or flaking over time. Additionally, look for a primer to block tannins and knots in the wood, as these can bleed through the paint and cause discoloration.

Question 5

What primer can I use on top of paint?

Accepted Answer

If you're painting over an existing layer of paint, you can use a "bonding primer" or "adhesion primer." This primer will help the new paint adhere to the old paint, preventing peeling or chipping.

Question 6

What is the difference between a flat and a semi-gloss primer?

Accepted Answer

The sheen of a primer refers to its level of reflectivity. A flat primer has a matte finish, offering a subtle, non-reflective look. This is a good choice for walls and ceilings, as it can help to hide minor imperfections. On the other hand, a semi-gloss primer has a more reflective finish, which can help highlight the surface and make it more durable. This is a good choice for areas with high traffic or needing easy cleaning, like trim or doors.
