  • Environmentally conscious plant-based formula

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. For bare wood or metal, apply a compatible primer and undercoat recommended by Mylands to ensure the paint layer has a stable foundation. When painting previously finished surfaces, lightly sand the area to provide a mechanical key for better adhesion. Use brushes or rollers suited for water-based paints. For care, once fully cured, the surface can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the eggshell sheen over time.
