Always prime outdoors when possible
If you do prime your mini indoors, always do so in a well-ventilated area. Primers can produce fumes, so if you work indoors, open windows and use a fan to help circulate fresh air. Also, wear a mask to avoid inhaling fumes and gloves to protect your hands.
Sealing Odors: For persistent odors, apply a second coat of primer before topcoating. If odor continues, a longer drytime is needed before topcoating.
Preparing your surface is an important step before applying primer, never prime over a dirty surface, clean your surface as best you can before you apply primer.
Prior to applying the primer, remove any mold or mildew with a proper remover or have it removed by a professional. In severe cases, the moldy substrates may need to be replaced. Once the surface is mold and mildew free, ensure it is clean and dry before applying primer.
Assuming you're referring to Kilz Original in the 450 voc it'll dry to touch in about 30 min and recoat in 1 hr. based on 77 degrees and 50% humidity. Higher humidity and lower temp will extend that a little.
Many users appreciate its ease of application, quick drying time, and low odor compared to oil-based primers.
Even water based is ideal to have good ventilation but is not quite as critical. You also want to ensure you are wearing a proper respirator that will filter out organic volatile compounds.
Painting is a popular and rewarding way to spruce up a room or outdoor space, but the fumes from oil-based paint primer can be dangerous. Some of the paint fumes' side effects include headaches, dizziness, nausea, and even more severe health problems.
Customers say Kilz Original Interior Primer is a reliable and effective solution for covering stains, odors, and dark colors, often achieving excellent results in just one coat.
Mildewcide Protection: Kilz primer contains mildewcides that actively inhibit the growth of mold and mildew, providing long-lasting protection for painted surfaces.
Be Patient: Ultimately, the fumes will dissipate as the paint dries and the VOCs break down. For water-based paints, this typically happens within a couple of days, while oil-based paints may take longer. Just be sure to keep the room well-ventilated during this time.
Clean equipment and paint spatters with warm, soapy water. If spilled, contain material and remove with an inert absorbent. Dispose of contaminated absorbent, container and unused product in accordance with all current federal, state and local regulations.
It is always recommended that you always wear a respirator when painting rather than a dust mask as this will not filter the chemicals.
While primer is an important step, it's not always necessary. You don't need to use a primer if your paint project has all of these conditions: You're painting drywall surfaces that are smooth, clean, and don't need repair. Surfaces were previously painted with latex in a flat or eggshell finish.
If someone inhales paint fumes and feels dizzy or light-headed, immediately get to fresh air and call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 or use the webPOISONCONTROL® online tool for help.
