Product Information

Full details

The Mylands Primer & Undercoat in Turquoise is a versatile, high-performance solution designed for homeowners and professionals looking to prepare a wide array of surfaces before applying Mylands Plant-Based topcoats. It excels at providing a strong, anti-corrosive foundation for everything from interior wood to exterior masonry, ensuring excellent paint adhesion and durability. However, users should note that as a primer and undercoat specifically formulated to complement Mylands finish paints, it requires careful surface preparation to achieve the best results on non-porous materials like uPVC or tile.

FAQs

Can I use this primer on exterior surfaces?

Is this primer compatible with all Mylands paint finishes?

Yes, it is specifically designed to work perfectly under Mylands Dead Matt, Eggshell, Satin, and Gloss finishes.

Do I need to sand my surface before applying?

For porous surfaces like plaster, ensure it is clean. For non-porous surfaces like tile or uPVC, sanding is highly recommended for best results.

How do I clean up after painting?

Since it is a water-based product, you can clean your brushes and rollers using warm, soapy water.

Can it be used on metal?

Yes, its anti-corrosive properties make it excellent for use on metal surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Poor adhesion to uPVC or metal surfaces

Ensure the surface was lightly sanded before application and completely free of oils or surface contaminants.

Slow drying times

Check humidity levels; water-based primers require proper ventilation and temperatures above 10 degrees Celsius to dry effectively.

Brush marks or uneven finish

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid overworking the paint as it begins to set.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely versatile for both interior and exterior applications
  • Excellent adhesion properties on difficult surfaces like uPVC and tile
  • Environmentally friendly, water-based, and low-odour formula
  • Effectively seals friable or patch-repaired plaster
  • Reduces the number of topcoats required due to high opacity

Cons

  • Turquoise tint may require more topcoats if using very light-colored finish paints
  • Not suitable for direct application onto surfaces with active damp or structural water leaks
  • Requires thorough cleaning of non-porous surfaces for optimal performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before applying the primer, ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from grease or loose particles. For high-gloss or non-porous surfaces like uPVC or tiles, lightly abrade the area with fine-grit sandpaper to ensure a mechanical bond. Apply using a high-quality synthetic brush, roller, or spray equipment. Clean all tools immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Always store the tin in a cool, frost-free location to maintain the chemical integrity of the water-based formula.
