I realize this is a site for replacement windows, but thought perhaps someone might have experience with this problem. I have an older house which I believe has calcimite paint on the ceilings. I was able to scrape some off and chemically pealed the rest. Now my question is, what sealer should be used over the ceiling? I've been told polyvinyl and an oil based sealer. Any advice you could share or if you could refer me to someone who would know, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

I would use a sealer and stain cover. Xinser Bin is one kind and Kilz is another. THese would prep and seal things up. Then a good base coat should dp the job. I'm not a pro painter but I've done this before on walls with vinyl based paint. Find a paint pro at one of the DIY stores. They should be able to steer you in the right direction.

Thanks. Are Kilz and Xinser Bin brands of paint or the sealer name?

What type of sealer should I get? I heard that I should use an oil based primer. Is a primer the same as a sealer? Before I knew all this, I used a water based sealer. 1 coat is still on the ceiling. Do I have to take this coat off the ceiling and if so, what is the best way to do so?

Karen these are a Primer and Sealer all in one. So your Priming and Sealing it all at the same time, Leave the water based coat on and go over it. It may take a double coat but you'll see the difference.
