Feels oily to touch upon application. Am repainting interior flat paint, same color. Is the caulk I used going to bleed oil thru the flat paint?Clear silicone 100% waterproof caulk used to fill nail holes. Does this require Kilz b4 painting w/flat?
You will have a tough time getting any paint to adhere to the silicone caulk, however, a dab of an oil base primer will be your best bet. Then topcoat with your paint. Better yet, if the caulk shrunk into the nail holes or if you underfilled the nail holes then just hit them again with a spackle then topcoat with whatever type of paint you like. The good news is that they are only nail holes (hopefully small ones) so even if the paint does not adhere well, hopefully it won't be that noticeable. Good luck, and don't listen to the other suggestion about sanding sealer, that is not a proper or good use for sanding sealer.Clear silicone 100% waterproof caulk used to fill nail holes.

yes it will keep bleeding through until you prime with an oil based product that is suitable for flat latex. kilz is really toxic and smell really bad especially the oil based. get you a quart of sanding sealer in a satin and use that instead. you can use a water bourne product to keep the fumes down to a minamum. this product dries fast and is re-sealable in around 20 minutes. apply another coat and then paint with your flat. should be OK then.
silicone is not paintable...the paint will ';bead'; up.
Why are you filling holes with silicone? Use Spackle! Scilicone will not take paint!
I don't think you'll get any paint to stick to silicone.
Cut it out and use spackle.

A coat of the oil base "Original" Kilz painted over Silicone caulk works perfectly! Once Kilz has dried, you can paint over the area with no problems.
