Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this primer on exterior surfaces?

Yes, this product is formulated for both interior and exterior use.

Does this primer require a topcoat?

Yes, it is designed as a base coat and should be covered with a Mylands finish such as Eggshell or Gloss.

Can I apply this over old oil-based paint?

Yes, once the old surface is cleaned and lightly sanded, this water-based primer will adhere effectively.

Is the primer suitable for radiators?

Yes, its anti-corrosive properties and heat-resistant characteristics make it a good choice for interior metal radiators.

How long should I wait between coats?

Due to its quick-drying formula, most surfaces are ready for a recoat within a few hours, though drying times vary based on temperature.

Troubleshooting

Poor adhesion on very glossy surfaces

Ensure the surface was lightly sanded with fine-grit paper to create a key for the primer to bond with.

Primer feels tacky after extended drying time

Check ambient humidity; high moisture levels can significantly slow down the water-based curing process.

Finish is showing brush marks

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

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Suitable for a wide variety of indoor and outdoor surfaces
  • Quick-drying formula speeds up project turnaround time
  • Provides superior adhesion for difficult surfaces like uPVC and tile
  • Low odour makes it comfortable to use in confined interior spaces
  • Environmentally friendly plant-based ingredients

  • Yellow tint may require extra coats if covering with very light colours

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the target surface is clean, dry, and free of grease or loose debris. For best results, lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve mechanical adhesion. This primer is designed to be fully compatible with Mylands Dead Matt, Eggshell, Satin, and Gloss finishes. When working outdoors, ensure the weather conditions are stable and not prone to immediate humidity or rain, as the primer needs time to cure. Clean brushes and rollers with warm, soapy water immediately after use to maintain tool longevity.
