Question 15

I have a cedar closet that sustained some level of water damage in the past due to a roofing issue that�s long been resolved. In the process of selling house and decided to prime and paint since that look is in. However prior to painting I primed to cover over the water marks and to provide better coverage for paint. Prior to priming the closet had an �old� smell that you find in older homes. After priming the smell is more intense. Almost as putrid as room after a fire. Before I move forward with painting I have to address this odor. Would hardseal address this issue over kilz primer? Or is there a better solution? I will paint afterwards. View answer
