Product Information

Full details

The Mylands Pure White No.1 Multi-Surface Primer and Undercoat is an essential foundation for DIY enthusiasts and professionals seeking a high-quality base for their painting projects. Formulated with a blend of pure white pigment, China clay, and crushed marble, this product ensures excellent adhesion and a bright, uniform surface for topcoats. While it offers superior coverage and consistency, users should note that as a primer and undercoat, it is designed strictly as a foundational layer and requires a compatible topcoat for final durability and finish.

FAQs

Can this be used as a final coat?

No, this is specifically formulated as a primer and undercoat. It requires a topcoat of paint to provide the necessary protection and desired finish.

Is this primer water-based or oil-based?

Please check the specific label on your container, as Mylands products are often formulated for high-performance and may vary by specific series.

How long should I wait before applying the topcoat?

Drying times can vary based on temperature and humidity, but it is generally recommended to wait until the primer is touch-dry and firm, typically 2-4 hours, before overcoating.

Can I use this on metal surfaces?

It is best suited for wood and plaster, but for metal, ensure you use a dedicated metal primer first if the manufacturer specifies, or test on a small inconspicuous area.

How many coats of primer do I need?

Usually one coat is sufficient for most surfaces, but if you are covering a very dark color or a highly porous material, two coats will provide a better result.

Troubleshooting

Primer is showing brush marks

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid over-working the paint while it is drying.

Poor adhesion to the surface

The surface may be too smooth or contaminated. Lightly sand the area and clean with sugar soap before reapplying.

Surface is still showing underlying color

Allow the first coat to fully cure and apply a second thin, even layer of primer to achieve complete opacity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent opacity for covering previous colors
  • Provides a superior, smooth finish for final paint layers
  • High-quality ingredients ensure long-lasting durability
  • Helps prevent paint absorption on porous surfaces

Cons

  • Not a standalone finish coat
  • Requires proper surface preparation for optimal results
  • Larger container size may be more than needed for minor touch-ups

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If the surface is glossy, lightly sand it to improve adhesion. Stir the primer thoroughly before use to ensure the pigments are evenly distributed. Use high-quality brushes or rollers suitable for water-based or oil-based primers, depending on your specific project needs. When storing the 5-litre container, ensure the lid is sealed tightly to prevent the product from drying out and store it in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures. Clean all tools immediately after use with appropriate solvent or soapy water as indicated on the packaging.
