Blocks Old Stained Woodwork
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I choose Kilz 3 to block old “Colonial 1980s” stained woodwork. Brushed and rolled stair risers and trim with 2 light coats of Kilz 3 and only needed one coat of semigloss to cover with no bleed through or shadows. I used a different brand primer on doors and it took 2 coats of their primer and 3 topcoats to cover. Kilz 3 has no odor, is not drippy when applied, and results in a very smooth finish. Very pleased with new look on our main stairs...
