FAQs

Can this be used outdoors?

Yes, this primer is formulated for both interior and exterior applications.

Does this product work on metal?

Yes, it contains anti-corrosive properties making it suitable for metal surfaces.

How do I clean my brushes?

As this is a water-based product, you can clean your brushes using warm, soapy water.

Can I use this on new plaster?

Yes, it is suitable for preparing new plaster once the surface has properly cured.

Is this primer tinted?

This specific variant comes in a neutral grey, which helps in covering dark colours and providing a neutral base for topcoats.

How long until I can apply the topcoat?

It is a quick-drying formula, but drying times can vary based on temperature and humidity. Always check for a touch-dry surface before proceeding.

Troubleshooting

Primer is not adhering to the surface

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned of all grease and dust; light sanding may be required for very glossy surfaces.

Brush strokes are visible after drying

Use a high-quality synthetic brush and ensure you are not over-working the paint as it begins to set.

The primer is drying too quickly

Avoid painting in direct sunlight or areas with high airflow; work in smaller, more manageable sections.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from loose material, grease, or dust. For new plaster, ensure the wall has fully cured before priming. Use a high-quality brush or roller to apply the primer evenly. Because it is water-thinned, brushes can be cleaned easily with soap and water immediately after use. This product is specifically designed to work in tandem with Mylands Dead Matt, Eggshell, Satin, and Gloss finishes. For exterior use, ensure the weather conditions are dry and the temperature is above 10 degrees Celsius to allow for proper curing. Always store the tin in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is sealed tightly to prevent the product from drying out.
