This stuff works wonders. You will need gloves, brush and a rubber scraper. A metal scraper will damage your surface. 
Please use proper ventilation - windows open! If it is not cool enough, wait until the fall.
The Kilz will dry within an hour, but I usually wait two.
The Semi-gloss will work great and is easier to clean. I would suggest not getting Walmart paint as it is thin and you will have to re-coat, at least, three times.
Paint on wood floors is a huge mess and a pain to fix!!!
On the kitchen cabinets - you can use the Paint stripper above, Kilz or use B-I-N. 
Sand your cabinet doors and drawers, lightly, after stripping and then put a coat of primer. I would use a high gloss in the kitchen. I haven't seen a big difference in the high gloss and enamel paint. The enamel takes hourssssss to dry.
Wear gloves and have some ventilation.!! Wear a mask if you think the paint that is peeling is old and may have lead in it.
Good luck!! |
I was going to get the Kilz colors, guaranteed to cover in one coat, however, I'm using the Kilz regular as primer since there are dark and odd colors on the walls.
Also, for the cabinets, I'm not repainting, but staining them after stripping them. I think it will look better than painting them, and there's no way they can take another coat as they are. They are sticky and some doors won't even close because there's no room!
I have an electric hand sander, but will that work on getting the rest of the latex off that's peeling but too thin to pull off the wall?
