FAQs

Can I use this primer on exterior walls?

How long does it take to dry?

Is this primer suitable for new plaster?

Yes, it is highly recommended for preparing new plaster surfaces, provided they are clean and dry.

Do I need to sand the surface before applying the primer?

Can I apply oil-based paint over this primer?

This primer is optimized for Mylands water-based finishes; it is recommended to stick to water-based topcoats for best compatibility.

Why is the primer orange?

The distinct color serves as a visual guide to ensure complete coverage, ensuring no areas are missed before the final paint application.

Troubleshooting

Poor adhesion to the surface

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned of dust, grease, and loose particles before application.

Uneven finish after topcoating

Check that the primer was applied consistently and allowed to fully cure according to the recommended drying times.

Primer feels too thick

Since it is a water-thinned product, a small amount of clean water may be added to adjust consistency, but do not over-thin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best results, start by cleaning the surface to remove dust, grease, and loose debris. For friable surfaces, ensure all crumbling material is removed and the area is stable before application. Apply the primer using a high-quality brush or roller designed for water-based paints. Ensure the environment temperature is between 10°C and 25°C for optimal drying times. Clean all brushes and tools with water immediately after use to prevent the paint from hardening. Always store the container in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed to maintain product consistency.
