Product Information

Full details

The Mylands Primer & Undercoat in Green is an ideal choice for DIY enthusiasts and professionals seeking a high-performance, water-based base coat for a variety of surfaces. Its primary benefit is its exceptional versatility, providing superior adhesion and coverage on everything from wood and metal to plastic and uPVC. While it offers excellent anti-corrosive properties and is low-odour, users should note that as a water-based product, it requires careful surface preparation to ensure optimal results on particularly slick or non-porous materials.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this primer suitable for exterior use?

Yes, this primer is formulated for both interior and exterior applications, providing durable adhesion and protection against the elements.

Can I use this on plastic or uPVC?

Yes, it is specifically designed to adhere to plastic and uPVC, provided the surface is cleaned and lightly abraded first.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Because this is a water-based product, brushes and rollers can be cleaned effectively using warm, soapy water.

Do I need to sand the surface before applying the primer?

For best results, especially on glossy or non-porous surfaces, a light sanding is recommended to ensure the primer can bite into the material.

Can this be used on metal surfaces?

Yes, it has anti-corrosive properties, making it an excellent base coat for metal surfaces to prevent rust.

What is the best topcoat to pair with this primer?

This primer is engineered to be used with the Mylands Plant-Based Paint range, including Dead Matt, Eggshell, Satin, and Gloss finishes.

Troubleshooting

Poor adhesion to the surface

Ensure the surface was sanded to provide a 'key' and is completely free of oils or wax before application.

Brush marks visible in the finish

Use a high-quality synthetic brush and ensure the product is not being over-worked; apply with long, smooth strokes.

Drying is taking longer than expected

Check the ambient humidity and temperature; high humidity will significantly slow the curing of water-based primers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from grease, wax, or loose debris. For previously painted surfaces, lightly sand the area to improve mechanical adhesion. Stir the primer thoroughly before use. This product is compatible with all Mylands Plant-Based finishes, including Dead Matt, Eggshell, Satin, and Gloss. Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Store the container in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the water-based formula from thickening or skinning over.
