primer

going to prime my kit. cabnits with kiltz how long do i wait befor i paint?

Hi luke44,

The short answer is "as soon as possible". Do not let the primer set for two or three days before you apply the finish paint. Bridge primers should NOT be allowed to "Close" or "Cure" before you paint. For the best bond between the primer and finish paint I would recommend that you paint from one hour ( or when the primer is dry enough to sand) to eight hours after priming.

Hope this helps

Will Kiltz primer work on fresh stucco?

Hi Don,

Fresh stucco should be allowed to "cure" before any coating is applied. Allow four or five weeks of cure time. This will allow moisture content to escape. Alkalinity may also form on the surface of the stucco, alkalinity can cook the primer or paint binders. Hose the surface down (with water) once a week during the cure time.
I would recommend that you prime with a masonry block filler or a primer/sealer that is specific to fresh stucco or masonry surfaces, these primers are alkali resistant. Top coat with an Acrylic finish paint or an Elastomeric paint.

Hope this Helps
