Product Information

Full details

Mylands Clerkenwell No.21 Multi-Surface Eggshell Paint is an ideal choice for homeowners and professionals looking for a durable, warm off-white finish on interior woodwork, trim, and metal surfaces. Inspired by historical China clay pigments, it offers a soft, welcoming aesthetic that pairs beautifully with both traditional decor and modern accent colors. While it provides excellent scuff resistance and a professional smooth finish, users should note that as an eggshell finish, it maintains a slight sheen that may highlight surface imperfections if the substrate is not properly prepared beforehand.

FAQs

Can I use this on my walls?

This specific product is formulated as a multi-surface eggshell for wood and metal. For walls, it is recommended to use the Mylands Marble Matt Emulsion.

Do I need a primer?

While it can be applied directly to many prepared surfaces, using a suitable primer is recommended for bare wood or metal to ensure optimal adhesion and durability.

Is this paint oil-based or water-based?

Mylands modern formulations are designed for low odor and easy cleanup, typical of water-based technology.

How long does it take to dry?

It is a quick-drying formula, though exact times depend on ambient temperature and humidity. Generally, it is touch-dry within a few hours.

How should I clean my brushes?

Clean brushes and tools with warm, soapy water immediately after use.

Is Clerkenwell No.21 a pure white?

No, it is a warm off-white inspired by natural China clay, designed to create a more welcoming feel than a stark, clinical white.

Troubleshooting

Paint is showing brush marks.

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to set.

Poor adhesion to the surface.

Confirm that the surface was properly sanded and cleaned of all dust, grease, or wax prior to application.

Finish looks uneven or patchy.

Apply a second coat once the first has fully dried, ensuring even pressure and consistent application technique.

Pros and Cons

  • Sophisticated, warm white tone suitable for various design styles
  • High durability makes it ideal for high-traffic trim and doors
  • Easy to clean thanks to the washable eggshell finish
  • Dries quickly, allowing for faster project completion
  • Versatile application on both wood and metal

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over glossy surfaces, lightly sand the area to improve adhesion. Apply the paint using a high-quality brush or roller suitable for eggshell formulations. For best results, use a primer if transitioning between significantly different colors or working on bare metal. To care for your painted surfaces, simply wipe with a soft, damp cloth as needed; the washable nature of the product ensures that light cleaning will not damage the finish.
