Hi friends, I need an alternative to current paint to cover calsomine.

4. I don't know anything about calsomine, but

I have successfully covered water stains on the ceiling with Kilz. I did one room and then closed its door for a week, which is about how long it took the Kilz to dry. When I painted over the Kilz with real paint, it took the paint about a week to dry also. This was years ago, so perhaps that was oil-based Kilz, I have no idea.

I wouldn't try to stay in a room that had been painted with this until it does not smell any more.

Alas, like you I am beyond doing a lot of this stuff myself now, that sucks. At least I'm not dead, though
