KILZ® ADHESION INTERIOR | EXTERIOR PRIMER
KILZ® ADHESION Primer is a water-base, modified-acrylic primer specifically formulated to bond to a variety of ‘tough-to-paint’ surfaces.
Its advanced chemistry provides a sound anchor for topcoats while reducing or potentially eliminating the need for sanding dense, glossy surfaces including Kynar®, PVC, vinyl, Formica®, glass, tile, glazed brick, chalky paints, glossy finishes, fiberglass and metals.
If using as a primer for epoxies, lacquers, products containing xylene or other hot solvents, allow to dry for 24 hours before topcoating and test for compatibility in an inconspicuous area before full coat application. For use on interior and exterior surfaces.

SURFACE PREPARATION
-All surfaces must be clean, free of dust, chalk, oil, grease, wax, polish, mold and mildew, loose peeling paint, rust and all other foreign substances. -If washing is necessary, use a non-soapy detergent or a TSP substitute, rinse well and allow to dry. -Unpainted, exterior wood exposed to sun and/or moisture longer than 2-4 weeks must be cleaned and sanded before priming. -†Glossy Surfaces: For maximum adhesion, scuff sand the surface thoroughly before priming.*-Peeling or Checked Paint: Scrape off loose paint and sand to a smooth surface.* -Mold or Mildew Covered Surfaces: Wash the area with a mildew remover, rinse with water and allow to dry before priming.
Masonry, Brick, Stucco and Plaster: KILZ 2 GRAY Primer may be used on clean, dry, aged masonry surfaces. New masonry must be allowed to cure (dry) at least 30 days before applying KILZ 2 GRAY Primer.
