Product Information

Full details

Mylands Primer & Undercoat in Pink is an essential preparation product for professional painters and DIY enthusiasts looking to ensure a flawless finish on internal walls. Designed for superior adhesion and high opacity, this micro-porous, low-odour water-based formula is perfect for stabilizing new plaster or refreshing patch-repaired surfaces before applying your topcoat; however, users should note that it is specifically optimized for internal use and is best paired with Mylands water-based finishing paints for the most consistent results.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this primer suitable for exterior use?

No, this product is specifically formulated for internal applications only.

Do I need to sand the wall before applying?

Yes, light sanding of any repaired or uneven areas is recommended to ensure a smooth, professional finish.

Can I use this on bare wood?

While intended for walls and plaster, it is generally better to use a dedicated wood primer for timber surfaces to ensure proper tannin blocking and adhesion.

How many coats are required?

Usually, one coat is sufficient for priming, but heavily stained or porous surfaces may require a second coat.

Is this primer compatible with oil-based topcoats?

It is optimized for use with Mylands water-based finishes; check with your topcoat manufacturer's compatibility guidelines if using non-Mylands products.

What is the best way to clean my brushes?

As it is a water-thinned product, warm soapy water is all that is required for effective cleanup of tools.

Troubleshooting

Primer is not sticking to the surface

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned of dust, grease, and loose debris before application.

Finish appears streaky after drying

Check that the primer was mixed thoroughly before use and applied with an even coat using a quality roller or brush.

Primer takes too long to dry

Ensure the room is well-ventilated and the humidity level is within a normal range for indoor painting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from loose debris or dust. If working on new plaster, wait until the plaster has fully cured before applying. Application can be done using a high-quality synthetic brush, roller, or spray equipment.

Compatibility

Substrates: New plaster, drywall, and existing stable painted surfaces.
Finishes: Best used in conjunction with Mylands water-based internal finishes.

Care

Clean all tools immediately after use with warm, soapy water.
Store the container in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the primer from drying out. Keep away from extreme temperatures and direct frost.
