KILZ® ORIGINAL Aerosol
Interior Primer

Surface Preparation^†

The following steps are required for product performance.

• The surface must be clean, free of dust, grease, wax, peeling paint, mold, mildew and wallpaper paste. If washing is necessary, use a non-soapy detergent or a TSP substitute. Rinse well and allow to dry.

• Peeling or Checked Paint: Scrape off loose paint and sand to a smooth surface. Sanding or removal of paint containing lead is hazardous.^†

• Glossy Surfaces: For maximum adhesion, scuff sand the surface thoroughly before priming.^†

Application

• Eye protection is recommended.

• For best results, use when substrate and air temperatures are between 2° C and 32° C.

• Cover adjacent areas to protect from overspray.

• Shake can vigorously for 1 minute after mixing ball begins to rattle and often during use.

• Hold can upright, moving from side-to-side while spraying lightly and evenly about 30 cm from area being painted.

• Two to three thin coats produce best results.

• Topcoat with latex or oil-based paint after 1 hour.

• Dries to the touch in 30 minutes at 25° C and 50% humidity. 

• Finishing: Topcoat within 30 days to prevent contamination of the primer before painting. 

• NOTE: On some surfaces, spot priming may cause a non-uniform appearance in the final coat. To avoid this, prime the entire surface.

Dry Time at 25°C, 50% RH

• To Touch: 15 - 30 Minutes

• To Recoat / Topcoat: 1 Hour

• Longer dry time may be required in cooler temperatures and in higher humidity.

Clean up & Disposal

• Clear spray valve immediately after use by turning can upside down and spraying until only clear gas is released.

• If spray nozzle becomes clogged, remove and clean. Do not stick pins or wire into can opening.

• Replace nozzle with valve opening pointed away from you.

• Clean fresh overspray with mineral spirits or paint thinner. Remove dried paint with paint remover, but test small area first to ensure paint remover does not damage substrate.

• Please consider donating any unused product.

• For recycling or disposal information, contact your local household refuse collection service.

HEALTHY INDOOR PAINTING PRACTICES

HOW TO REDUCE YOUR EXPOSURE

This Information Refers Only to Interior Alkyd (or Oil-based) Paint Containing 2-Butanone oxime (MEKO); MEKO is not found in any of the widespread latex or waterborne products.

• Always read, understand and carefully follow all ventilation requirements indicated on labels;
• Take measures to maximize the amount of fresh air where you paint; you should not rely on home heating or cooling systems to provide fresh air. Try to schedule painting so that you can open windows and doors to the outside;
• It is recommended that you create cross-ventilation when painting by opening windows and doors that are across from each other and/or using a fan to blow air outdoors (if there is no warning on the paint label instructing against the use of electric motor fans). Kitchen and/or bathroom fans that are vented outside can also help;
• Take fresh air breaks while painting and keep young children, pregnant women and people with breathing problems away from freshly painted rooms. Leave painted areas if you experience eye watering, headaches, dizziness or breathing problems;
• Cover your paint can during use and quickly dispose of rags and accessories after you have finished with your project. Unused or leftover alkyd paint can be disposed of through the paint recycling program in your province;
• Remember to continue using proper ventilation for two to three days after you finish painting;
• MEKO and other chemicals may still be present in low VOC (volatile organic compound) alkyd paint so remember to always create well-ventilated conditions;
• It is a misconception that infrequent use of alkyd paint poses no health risk. Proper precautions and ventilation are required every time the product is used.
