Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free of loose debris, dust, or grease. For new plaster, ensure it is fully cured before priming. If dealing with friable surfaces, remove loose material with a soft brush before application. The product is designed specifically to be used under Mylands water-based finishes. Clean brushes, rollers, and trays immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Store the tin in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the water-based contents from drying out.
