Product Information

Full details

The Mylands Primer & Undercoat in Orange is an essential tool for professional decorators and DIY enthusiasts looking to prepare interior surfaces for a flawless finish. Designed for superior adhesion and ease of use, this water-thinned primer sealer excels at smoothing out new plaster, friable areas, and patch-repaired walls to ensure your topcoat adheres perfectly; however, users should note that the distinct orange pigment is specifically formulated for light-colored topcoats or specific opacity needs and may require careful application to ensure full coverage by the final paint layers.

FAQs

Can I use this primer on exterior walls?

No, this product is strictly formulated for internal applications only.

Does the orange color affect the final paint color?

If your final topcoat is highly opaque, the orange base will not affect the final result. However, for very light or pastel colors, ensure you achieve full coverage with your topcoat to mask the tint.

Do I need to thin the primer before use?

The product is generally ready to use, but for spray applications, check the technical data sheet for recommended dilution ratios.

Is this suitable for new plaster?

Yes, it is excellent for new plaster due to its micro-porous nature, which allows the surface to breathe.

How long should I wait before applying the topcoat?

While it varies based on room conditions, typically allow at least 2-4 hours for the primer to dry before applying your topcoat.

Troubleshooting

Primer is showing through the topcoat.

The orange pigment may require an additional coat of high-opacity paint or a specialized mid-coat primer if the topcoat is light or thin.

Slow drying time.

Ensure adequate ventilation in the room. High humidity or cold temperatures will significantly slow the curing process.

Product peeling or not adhering.

Check the surface for contaminants like grease, dust, or moisture. Sand the surface lightly and clean thoroughly before re-applying.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure the surface is sound, stable, and free from loose or flaking material. If the surface is particularly friable, brush away any loose dust prior to priming. The product is designed to be applied via brush or roller.

Compatibility: Specifically recommended as a base for Mylands water-based finishes. Ensure your chosen topcoat is compatible with water-based systems.
Temperature: Apply in temperatures between 10°C and 25°C for optimal drying times.
Equipment Care: Because this is a water-thinned product, wash brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Store containers in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the product from skinning.
