Kilz?

[looneytunes]

Hello, is there a particular type of kilz for the inside of the stand? I am trying to waterproof it as best i can and am getting confused by all the info. Is there something better?
Thank you,
christine

I used the oil based standard KILZ for my whole stand, then painted over it with semi gloss white (on the inside) oil based paint it looks awesome...

Ugh, that stuff stinks so bad.. Works great but peeeU. Hopefully you don't have to have it in your living space for the week it takes to dissipate.

Thank you for the responses, Does anyone have any other suggestions? Could i just stain the inside and add spar polyurethane.

I actually went to Sherwin Williams and got an indoor/outdoor epoxy. It went on very thick and pretty much created a lay that nothing will get through!

I like to use the oil based kilz as well - it works great as a sealer, and being white, helps to brighten up the under stand area where it is always too dark to find that one little thing you just dropped......or that fish that jumped.....

Thank you for the responses.

I used Kilz Premium to coat the inside of my stand and canopy. I also used DAP caulk to seal the joints. It didn't stink from what I remember. The white color also had an additional benefit in that it reflects light better inside my canopy.

You can go overboard (pun intended) and use marine varnish too....

Maybe your Premium was the water based version?

Hmm, that's a good question. It's been a very long time and I can't remember. Maybe I have the can with extra paint left over somewhere in the garage lol.

Of course you do. And probably about 4 others. Of course you'ill have a %$^%(@# of a time getting the lids off. Then you'll wonder if the separated goo will actually still work. Ultimately you'll have 6 cans in your garage...

LOL, I did some garage cleaning, and found 4 cans of PVC cement LOL!!!

if u want something thats real water proof go to the tile section of hd and get something called red guard. its about 40$ a gallon. it goes on pink and dries red. about 3 coats it will be water proof.
