I am looking to paint over semi gloss paint on a stairwell without having to degloss or sand the entire area. Is this the correct product to use?

Hello, Yes KILZ Adhesion is a good choice for this project. Make sure to allow the primer to dry for 24 hours to ensure it achieves the best adhesion before top coating. Good luck with your project!

Has anyone used this primer over ugly granite then painted the vanity? Also what type of paint and sealer did you use over it

Hello! KILZ Adhesion will stick to granite but it is not FDA approved for surfaces that will have contact with food. If this is for a bathroom, this primer is perfect and can be top coated with KILZ TRIBUTE (available on Amazon) or another high-quality interior paint.

Does this adhere and work well for laminate kitchen cabinets?

I tested this product on laminate that was cleaned and very lightly sanded (320 grit) and on a piece that was cleaned only. As a long as the surface is clean I don’t think the sanding was necessary.

Can i use kilz adhesion as a primer over sheetrock when i am going to tile over? vs sanding the paint and tiling?

Depends on where you are doing the tile. If the paint is in good condition just clean it. If it's gloss sand the sheen off then clean it. If it is bare sheetrock then yes it will seal the sheetrock and help prevent moisture penetrating. If it's near a tub or shower then it's better to install cement board.
