FAQs

Can I use this primer on uPVC?

Yes, this primer is formulated to work on uPVC, though we recommend a test patch and proper surface cleaning beforehand.

Is this suitable for exterior use?

Yes, it is designed for both interior and exterior applications, providing durable, anti-corrosive protection.

Do I need to sand the surface before applying?

Sanding is recommended for glossy or very smooth surfaces to ensure the best possible mechanical adhesion.

What is the best way to clean my brushes after use?

Since this is a water-based product, simply wash your brushes and rollers with warm, soapy water.

Can I use other brands of paint over this primer?

While it is designed for use with Mylands water-based finishes, it is highly effective as a general primer. For best results, we recommend keeping within the Mylands system.

Is it safe for use on new plaster?

Yes, its micro-porous nature makes it an excellent choice for preparing and sealing new, dry, or patch-repaired plaster.

Troubleshooting

Poor adhesion to surface

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned of all grease and contaminants; for glossy surfaces, sand lightly before applying.

Topcoat looks uneven

Verify that the primer has dried completely before applying the topcoat and ensure an even application thickness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from grease, dust, or loose paint. If applying over glossy surfaces, it is recommended to lightly abrade the area to improve mechanical key. The primer is specifically formulated for integration with Mylands Plant-Based Paint lines, including Dead Matt, Eggshell, Satin, and Gloss. To apply, use a synthetic brush, roller, or spray equipment. Clean all application tools with warm, soapy water immediately after use. Store the product in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the water-based formula from drying out or skinning.
