Can you skim coat over gloss paint?

Assuming you are using a dye-based spray on stain, yes, if the gloss is already set up and scuffed! However,while spraying or applying, gloss is too wet/tacky to work with between coats! As I do at work using Acrylic Polyurethane paints onto cabinet parts, your best bet is to apply a first coat of satin, stain over that, then a final coat of satin to seal the stain! (NEVER apply gloss over an unsealed dye based stain, as the heavy material will have a tendency to pull your stain and make the color look uneven!) As soon as the satin is flashed off (10-30min, depending on paint and temp.) you can apply your gloss. This is the method we have used for decades on HIGH quality cabinets!


Will using Kilz primer cover the fumes from oil based paint?

No. Oil-based paint will off-gas for several days after application. Applying a coating over it too soon will only slow that process down.


When is the best time to stain a new cedar deck?

The answer will depend on the type of fence you have erected and your personal taste. The most common reason for staining a fence is two-fold, esthetics (the look of the thing) and preservation (stain helps to extend the life of some types of wood). For un-treated wood (except cedar) you can and in most areas should stain your fence immediately you finish putting it up. Semi-transparency or solid, latex/acrylic or oil based stains all work and have various pros and cons. For cedar fences, personal taste is your best guide. This is one of the woods where preservation is less needed. Teak and cypress being two others (but the prices for these can be prohibitive). Good cedar will "silver" within a year or two, depending on your area, and the amount of "weather" you experience. If you like the look of silvered cedar, it is completely un-necessary to do anything but wait. If, however, you do not like the "silvered" look, the fence will need to be stained, usually after the first year. Pressure treated wood should be allowed to weather a bit before staining. It usually comes with a bit of colour from the chemicals used in the process, so it is best to let that fade, particularly if you are using a semi-transparent stain. Depending on your area and the amount of "weather" you get this will take anywhere from 2 months to a year. Once the wood has started to grey give it a good cleaning, allow to dry and apply your stain. If you are using a solid stain, the timing is less important, you can usually paint it with a solid stain within weeks of finishing your project.
