Stupid me, I've Used Zinsser BIN to Spot Prime

I hope someone can help! I'm preparing to paint bedroom walls and thought I was doing a great job but I'm worried I've messed it up. I've filled a few little holes and gaps with filler/caulk.

Woodworm in floorboards

We moved into our 1930's semi 6 months ago. Two weeks ago I noticed small woodworm-like holes in one of the floorboards in the middle of the hallway (floorboards are exposed). I hadn't noticed these holes before so was concerned it might be new woodworm. I carefully filled each hole with filler - th...
