Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results with Mylands Hurlingham No.181, follow these standard painting procedures:
- Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or loose paint. For new plaster or wood, apply a high-quality primer to ensure the paint adheres evenly.
- Compatibility: Check that the chosen finish (e.g., Eggshell for wood, Dead Matt for walls) matches your specific surface. Avoid using wall paints on surfaces meant for high-traffic floor paint applications.
- Application: Use high-quality synthetic brushes or rollers. Apply in thin, even coats, allowing for the recommended drying time between layers to prevent streaks.
- Care and Maintenance: Clean surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may strip the matte or satin finishes. Keep leftover paint sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
