Painting over nicotine/tar stains on wall.

There is no difference between SW pigmented shellac, Kilz, and B.I.N. They are all pigmented shellac, primer, sealers. I have used them all.

If the kilz you tried to cover lipstick with, did not work, my guess is, you had water based Kilz. And yes, that does not work much of the time.

All this job needed, was a coat of pigmented shellac, and it would be ready for paint.

Doing things the had way, seems to be a TBN tradition. :confused3:

I know the Kilz I have used, you have to wear a respirator or you will be higher than a kite.

Some people can handle it.

But, I can't. I wear a respirator when I use it.

Why do you think they call it Kilz? :thumbsup:

We used to do fire restoration work years ago, and found that encapsulating the walks in shillac did the trick. No odors ever returned.

Not sure they expven sell the stuff anymore.... Dang EPA

That's what SW pigmented shellac, Kilz, and B.I.N. are.
