Hello:

Have a brownish water stain on a ceiling (leak has been corrected).

Guess it would be a good idea to put KILZ down prior to repainting with
latex paint..

There seem to be so many KILZ products, not sure what to use for this
application.

From their site: "PRIMERS are coatings applied to a surface to provide a
firm bond between the substrate and finish coat.

SEALERS are coatings that prevent the surface from absorbing paint or
leaching from the substrate. "

Do I want a Primer or Sealer ?
Which one ?

Worth going for their "Premier" ?

They also offer in a spray can. Any good for a small area, or just use a
brush ?

Thanks,
B.

Primer, it's a normally dry area. Kilz products are good, but just
because it was wet doesn't need you need the mildewcide/etc. Unless
there was a mold growth, any quality primer will be as good...

Primer. No spray. Do it the hard way. You'll be happier when it's done.

Kilz is a brand name, just like Porter, Benjamin Moore, Sherwin
Williams, etc. You may want to buy a stain-blocking sealer so the brown
stain does not come through your final coating. Spray cans aren't very
good in small, confined spaces. Make sure the surface is totally clean
and dry, buy a brand name paint from a paint store.

I would go and get a couple of cans of Kilz "Upshot". It is
designed for exactly your situation. It is an aerosol can
which sprays straight up and is make to block stains on
ceilings from water damage. Water stains almost always bleed
through latex paint and the Kilz will seal it so that it can
be covered without fear of bleedthrough. I am in the business
of doing insurance work and have been for a couple of decades.
Kilz has always worked for me.
