I read that some of you use kilz as a primer for wood baits. It says that a latex or oil based paint is what you need to use on the can?? I use createx air brush paint that is water based??

Your thoughts?? Should i try a different primer or will this work??

I am painting some really cool looking baits and topcoating them with envirotex and i want them to stay cool looking (at least for a few fish)

Thanks guys, Rob

I use Kilz 2 with stain blocker. I brush it on my big baits like the Dragon Claw and Deepthreats. It seals real well. I use createx water based paints and have zero problems. I sand the dried kilz lightly with old worn out 80 grit paper to knock down any lumps or things. I apply my white base coats right over that. Works great. Kingfisher

Just make sure you let the stuff get completely dry before you start painting. Remember your topcoat will only adhere as well as the coats below it. I like to let it dry at least 24 hours in a warm room, longer if you are patient enough.
