FAQs

Can I use this primer on exterior surfaces?

Yes, this primer is fully suitable for both interior and exterior applications on a variety of substrates.

Does this primer stop tannin bleed on wood?

While it offers great adhesion, for woods prone to heavy tannin bleed, we recommend a dedicated stain-blocking primer first.

How long should I wait before applying the topcoat?

The product is quick-drying, but for best results, wait at least 4-6 hours depending on ambient temperature and humidity.

Can this be used on metal surfaces?

Yes, the formula is anti-corrosive and designed to bond well with properly prepared metal surfaces.

Is this primer compatible with non-Mylands paints?

While optimized for the Mylands paint range, it is a high-quality primer that works with most water-based topcoats.

Troubleshooting

Poor adhesion to the surface

Ensure the surface was sanded to provide a mechanical key and thoroughly cleaned of grease or wax prior to application.

Visible brush marks

Thin the primer slightly with a small amount of water or use a high-quality synthetic brush with fine bristles to improve leveling.

Slow drying time

Increase ventilation in the work area and ensure humidity levels are below 80% to allow proper water evaporation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent adhesion on difficult surfaces like uPVC and plastic
  • Suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments
  • Quick drying time facilitates efficient project completion
  • Low odour makes it ideal for occupied living areas
  • Provides a high-quality base for all Mylands paint finishes

Cons

  • Requires careful surface preparation for maximum durability
  • May require extra coats on extremely porous surfaces
  • Not intended as a standalone finish product

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free of grease or loose debris. For glossy or non-porous surfaces, a light sanding is recommended to improve mechanical adhesion. Apply using a high-quality synthetic brush, roller, or spray equipment.

This primer is fully compatible with the Mylands Plant-Based Paint range, including Dead Matt, Eggshell, Satin, and Gloss finishes. Clean brushes and tools with warm, soapy water immediately after use to prevent the product from hardening in bristles. Store in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the water-based formula from thickening.
