Is kilz better then regular paint to cover mold?

on wood in basement?Is kilz better then regular paint to cover mold?
Yes clean the area as stated by the other answerer.





I suggest that you clean the area then use a spray bottle with bleach for a few days and continually air-ate the area. If the wood is squishy replace it. Find the source of the mold and treat all the areas. Was this an isolated issue that caused this or is there some issue that will reoccur.





Be sure it is thoroughly dry before priming with kilz. There are 2 kinds of Kilz. General Purpose and Wood one if this is going on the wood get the wood kind. Kilz has inhibitors but does not kill mold.





Kilz is a primer not a paint. after you cover with Kilz you should then paint over the area.Is kilz better then regular paint to cover mold?
There is also a zinser product (which is another type of primer) that is made for mold and mildew. Make sure you use the bleach solution to clean and treat like in the other answers. If you take care of the mold and use the kilz or zinser primer and paint over it then it won't come back. If it DOES come back then you need to cut out that portion of the drywall and replace it because it means it went all the way through. As long as the mold isn't really black and nasty and you got to it soon enough, then you shouldn't go crazy and think you're gonna inhale all the bad stuff.

Scrape the paint, use drywall sandpapper, and yes, use Kilz!





From the Kilz Site:





To block mold and mildew stains:





KILZ Exterior, KILZ 2 Latex, and KILZ Premium primers





Mold and mildew covered surfaces must be thoroughly washed with a mildew remover, rinsed with water and allowed to dry before priming. We recommend KILZ 2 Latex primer or KILZ Premium primer for interior surfaces, and KILZ Exterior primer, KILZ 2 Latex primer, and KILZ Premium primer for exterior Mildew-prone areas.
Yes, but you should scrub all off the mold first with a 10% Clorox/water solution and make sure it is completely dry before you paint over it. I think you could use a hair dryer to help dry it out.
I agree with alice, but KILZ is a primer, this means you need to apply paint over the primer once that is dry also.
yes
It depends how deep the mold really is, Sometimes it can get behind the dry wall and start to rot the base wood. Anyway the mold MUST be removed because it is a serious health risk that WILL eventually cause respiratory illness. What you are wanting to do is just like painting over rust. The mold will bleed through no matter how you prime and scrub. http://www.ehow.com/how_2056875_eliminat鈥?/a>
