Bioshield, Clay Paint - Venetian Collection Q&A

Question 1

Hi! We have new drywall and are going to use the clay paint on the walls. The construction manager said we need to use a primer and sealer before painting. Since the clay paint is self priming, can they use this as the primer and sealer? If not what do you guys recommend that is breathable. The house was treated and gutted for mold and we want to make sure there is not condensation behind the walls from using a non-breathable paint or primer/sealer.We heard clay paint has natural anti-fungal properties. We finished the basement and have a commercial grade dehumidifier set to 50% humidity. Can we use this paint on the drywall on the basement as well? View answer

Question 4

I have a fireplace that is decorated with coarse stone surface. It costs a lot to remove the stones. Can I simply layer this clay paint over it to cover it up? Because the surface is not flat, the clay paint will be as thick as a quarter of an inch in some spots. Will it work? Thank you. View answer
