Paperwork that I found on-line about this product states that a basic use is ceramics: bathroom.

This product is not a substitute for sanding primer. It prepares smooth slick surfaces for painting or varnishing. E.S.P. leaves a bonding film that promotes strong adhesion of new paint to any non-porous surface.Jamie ChiccarelloOwatrol Coatings USA

I did use this product once to prep a wall for wallcovering. The paint was semi-gloss, so wallcovering wouldn't have adhered well otherwise. Never had a problem.

i used it for doors that had oil based paint on them and i put regular paint over it and it worked just great...

Yes the sprayer can use any paint that will pass through the testing cup as specified in the instruction notes. I have used a latex house paint and primer with no problem and a deck stain again no prob;em.

Yes but it's not meant for paint. It's great in making your darker shades of color darker after tracing over it once sprayed on canvas.

I'd use the primer for it before doing so, but I see no reason it can't be after that, as thats what I did. But you'd also want to "level" the joints in the existing tile before you do, so its not as simple as peel and stick if you want it right.

Absolutely! When I was researching this product, I saw people using it for mailboxes, house letters, outdoor lights, etc. In fact, we painted our house numbers with it months ago and they look great. I think you'll love this product BUT . . . don't buy it with this nozzle!!!! The nozzle does not work very well. You would like this product more if you buy it in a can with the regular nozzle, then buy one of Rustoleum's clip-on nozzles to use it with. MUCH better operating and way less wasteful. Trust me on this one! I wasted nearly a whole can of paint with this stupid nozzle. It sputtered all over the place. Lots of reviewers warned me, but I didn't listen and sure enough they were right. The paint itself is great, though.

I would think "no" since it dries on very smooth and shiny/glossy. The only chance you would have is to buy the additive that gives this product traction. If you do use this product for walking surfaces, I would suggest the additional additive for traction, anyway. Since you will want to apply tile/grout to it in your case, you too should benefit from the additive.

It really depends on what you intend to use it for. If it's for repainting a regular room ceiling in your house, which is already white, then you probably don't need to use a primer underneath it. However, if it's for a bathroom, and that bathroom is used by, say, two teenagers, each of whom take long hot showers (as in our case); and in which, despite religiously running a venting fan, the paint had been peeling off the ceiling, then yes - it's strongly recommended as a topcoat over a good primer such as Zinzer's own Bull's-Eye 123.

I wouldn't.. it's much stiffer than you think it is... and the plastic bristles I believe would scratch.. I used it to clean grout, and it scratched the tile.

Yes you can, we used for our grout, you need to apply a coat, wait 2-3 hrs and apply at least one more coat. I was told it should last at least 10 yrs if not the life of your grout. Wear a mask and disposable gloves when applying. I bought some bottles with brushes on the end, applicator, from home depot to apply it. Good Luck. I have some left over if you would like to purchase it from me?

I wouldnt use it, it is made for no wax lino or tile. It restores the sheen to dull floors. You need to apply periodically

Yes, this is a primer and it is intended for that use as well. Rustoleom actually advertise to do this on the packaging. Simply apply at least three coats of the primer (in a very well ventilated area, it's an oil base primer, and stinks - lots of fumes), then 4h later apply the chalk board finish. That's what I did on a wall of my kitchen and works very well

I have used it as a base for high temperature paint. Assuming you will be using a spray can to deliver the final coat, be sure to follow the dry time for best results.

Yes and no. It is easy to apply by an non professional but it was a lot of work the way I used it. I used it for the grout between 12" porcelain tiles. I bought good quality knee pads and put a thin strip down on all the grout then let it dry and put a second coat. It was time consuming and hard on my back and my knees. Younger and not overweight would help. :)

That would be along the lines of what this sprayer was meant for. However, I'd be inclined to believe that it's better suited for traditional enamels such as you could buy in quart cans at a home center. I don't know that I'd want to spray any hot lacquers through it, or anything too exotic such as two part isocyanates or anything else where you'll want to be wearing a 'space suit' and breathing through a supplied air respirator. Now, those could work! But I've never tried it, and I'd want to hear from someone who has before attempting it. Rustoleum or the like, absolutely. Do be sure to properly thin whatever you spray, of course.

I checked the manufacturer's web site for specifications. They claim that it can be used as a primer for other paints, so I painted over the Hydro Seal 75 that I had applied with a vapor-barrier type paint. The combination seems to work really well. I'm not ready to sell my basement dehumidifier yet, but it hasn't been used since I painted the walls about seven months ago.

yes you can,if your tile is high gloss there is no need to seal it,if not high gloss its ok to seal it with the same product as per product instructions
