Robb in Austin Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Howdy all! The inside of my stand is stained. Can I Kilz over the stain? Is there another covering that will keep it protected once I have the sump/fuge running? TIA, Robb Note: I got to thinking about 2 seconds after I posted this. Maybe some topcoat sealer like this: http://www.minwax.com/products/water_based...ive_finish.html would work? Thoughts woodworkers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medi Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 As long as you rough up the surface with sandpaper then you should be able to use kilz without any problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+dapettit Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I would then coat it with Minwax Polyurethane polish as a seal. Trust me you'll wish you had. Dave- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prof Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Kilz will stick really well without roughing up the surface but a quick sanding sure can help. Top coat with an enamel latex to waterproof it. Try this stuff: http://www.minwax.com/products/oil_based_c...r_urethane.html You could build plywood tanks with spar urethane I have used it in the past and it makes for a rock hard, waterproof, clear finish.

Robb in Austin Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 Thanks for the replies. You guys rock. Or rawk! Is it necessary to Kilz, or can I go with just the sealer over the current stain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-MASCO Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Thanks for the replies. You guys rock. Or rawk! Is it necessary to Kilz, or can I go with just the sealer over the current stain? Hi Robb- We would always recommend to prime after cleaning the surface. Priming is advantageous for two reasons: first, it seals off any previous coating or stains to prevent "bleeding" through to the topcoat. Secondly, it provides a bonding medium to ensure excellent adhesion with the topcoat. If the surface is not in sound condition (peeling or chipping), we would recommend stripping or scuff sanding the peeling stain to ensure proper adhesion. But first I would read the instructions for the particular sealer you plan to use as they all work differently and have different surface prep guidelines. Hope this helps!

caferacermike Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Holy sickness. I checked out "E-Masco/Kilz" in web-searches, and Rob, you got your answer directly from the manufacturer. Do we do enough painting projects to get them as a sponsor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb in Austin Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 I wondered who Emasco was. All I got was some Arabic recruitment company. I called the stand Mfg Thursday; the salesman I talked to said to ask at Home Depot for their recs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
