Customers are mixed about the clarity of the paint. Some mention it dries totally clear and matte quickly, while others say it's milky in the bucket, almost like water, and drries yellow.

"This went on easily with a foam roller. It dried totally clear and matte quickly...." Read more

"...applied it to bare plaster (a truly "porous and chalky surface"), it dries yellow. The description should just say "might go on yellow." Pooh-bah!..." Read more

"...Kilz goes on milky, but dries clear, with a sight sheen to it. Thank goodness! I've also used it to seal places in a subfloor before reflooring." Read more

"...It's very thin, almost like water. Being transparent it feels like I didn't accomplish anything after working for three days...." Read more

It Worked For Me
4 Stars
It Worked For Me
I must say I was impressed with the packaging of this product. KILZ Klear Multi-Surface Stain Blocking Interior/Exterior Latex Primer/Sealer came in a gallon paint can with clips to assure that the lid would stay firmly in place (see photo). They also provided a paint mixer stick. The can wasn't as substantial as some products I've used in the past and the lid seal bent fairly easy (see photo). This is probably a trend across the industry where less metal is being used in containers.The primer was milky in appearance and very thin. It appeared chalky as I applied it. This is not a criticism but an observation. It has a noticeable strong odor. Ammonia comes to mind. We are in the middle of a home renovation project and I have attached a picture of the stain in the ceiling joint where the Kilz primer was used. It dried quickly, about 30 minutes for a thin layer and 40 to 45 minutes for a thicker layer. It even worked well with a nail hole where a painting had hung. After the Kilz primer dried, I could not feel the hole when I ran my finger over the hole! I have attached a picture of the nail hole. Because the Kilz is clear, you can see the hole BUT the hole is filled and you can't feel it. Nice! I am satisfied with this product.

Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2020
Wow! This stuff is fantastic. It's a huge time & money saver. I used it on wood as a base coat for polyurethane. One coat of each was all I needed! Normally I'd use at least 5 coats of poly because it would soak into the wood.
