I love doing electrical, plumbing, carpentry, furniture, finishing ... but
I just HATE painting - probably because I'm very slow at it. I have this
weird problem that I could use some Wreck Smarts on:
The front foyer of a home is done entirely in drywall. It was initially
primed/painted almost 20 years ago and has since been repainted at least
once. At one point or another, a leak developed above foyer ceiling.
Although the leak was subsequently fixed, it left what appears to be some
kind of brown/mineral discoloration on the ceiling and not amount of paint
seems to cover it. If I paint it, it dries, and the stain reappears.
Ideas?
TIA,

And just plain white shellac works too (or even amber).

I had good look, in a similar situation, with Zinzser's BullsEye. My
'brown spot' was on a lightly textured ceiling. I bought the rattle
can version so I could feather the edges.

What he said. You need a stainkiller paint or primer of some sort, anyway. Doesn't have to
be Kilz brand specifically, though that's the easiest one to find. Sherwin-Williams makes
one that they call "StainBlocker" or something similar, which I've used with great success.
Kilz also works very, very well.

Kilz the oil based version best bet, but I hid some cieling stain
recently with Kilz water based primer.

Shellac let dry, and repaint.

Froz...
The system will be down for 10 days for preventive maintenance.

There are Kilz and/or Zinsser primer that are shellac based.
Get one of those and prime the area... it might take two coats.
Isn't Leon our local Zinsser B-I-N advocate? :-)

Well, if he isn't, I'll be glad to take over :-). I've used B-I-N on
stains left by roof leaks that kept re-appearing until I used the B-I-N.
Great stuff.
On a related topic, I'm replacing some trim boards on our place. The
originals were rustic, so I bought cedar fence boards and cut them to
width. I painted them first with B-I-N on all sides with multiple coats
on the end grain and an extra coat on the back side. Then I painted the
other 3 sides with the trim color and installed the boards with screws.
That's one job I don't expect to have to do again!

Careful. If you mean the Zinsser white and amber shellacs, they contain
wax. That may or not be a problem, depending on what finish you overcoat
with. SealCoat is a lot safer. And I suspect B-I-N is dewaxed, although
I haven't checked it.
