KILZ® PVA ZERO VOC
Interior Drywall Primer

Surface Preparation*

All surfaces must be clean, free of dust, chalk, oil, grease, wax, polish, mold and mildew stains, loose and peeling paint, rust and all other foreign substances.

When measured with an electronic moisture meter, maximum moisture content of substrates is as follows:

• Gypsum Board (Drywall): 12%
• Plaster: 12%
• Concrete & Masonry: 12%
• Concrete Masonry Units (CMUs): 12%
• Wood: 15%

Surface Preparation by Substrate 

• Drywall: All screws and nail heads must be set and filled. Joints must be taped and covered with a joint compound. Tape joints must be sanded smooth and all dust removed prior to painting.
• Plaster: Bare plaster needs to be cured and hardened, which typically takes 30 days. For textured, soft, porous, or powdery plaster, treat it with a solution of 1 part household vinegar to 8 parts of clean water. Repeat this process until the surface hardens, then rinse with clear water and allow it to dry.
• Wood: Scrape and clean knots. Before applying primer, apply a coat of knot sealer recommended for exterior use in. Sand surfaces that will be visible and remove dust. Prime edges, ends, faces, undersides, and backsides of the wood. After priming, fill holes and imperfections with an appropriate patching material. Sand patched and filled surfaces smooth and remove dust before coating.
• Previously Coated Surfaces: For maximum adhesion, scuff sand the surface thoroughly before priming especially for glossy or high sheen finishes.

WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint,

you may release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. Contact Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to

Warning!

WARNING! IRRITANT. CAUSES EYE AND SKIN IRRITATION. MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not breathe dusts, vapor, or spray mist.

To avoid breathing in dust, vapors, and spray mist, open windows and doors or use other means to ensure fresh air entry during application, drying, sanding, and/or abrading. If properly used, a respirator (NIOSH approved with particulate pre-filter) may offer additional protection and should be used if adequate ventilation cannot be provided; obtain professional advice before using. If you experience eye watering, headaches, or dizziness during application or drying, increase fresh air or leave the area. Wash thoroughly after handling. Close container after each use.
