Question 4

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 9

I am looking for a primer that will work for both new drywall (approx. 120 sf) and previously painted walls (approx. 120 sf) Will the ECOS Universal Primer fit the bill? (I know ECOS has the Interior Wall primer meant specifically for new drywall, but I'd prefer not to buy two cans of different primers. That would be a bit too much primer.) Thank you! View answer
