Marble Matt Emulsion

New or Unpainted Plaster/Dry Lined Surfaces (Modern Construction)

Make sure the plaster is fully dried before applying the primer and Marble Matt. British Standard 6150:2006 recommends a typical drying time for new plaster of 7 days for every 5mm thickness. When porous plasters are not sufficiently prepared, difficulties in application, variation in sheen, or uneven colour may occur. New plaster, non-powdery, and sound plastered wall preparation: NB: The dilution rate will depend on the porosity of the surface. We recommend you test the level of dilution on a patch to determine the level of dilution required. If you do not want to apply a primer, as an alternative, you can dilute Marble Matt with approximately 20% water and apply it as a “mist” coat. Please note: When porous papers are not sufficiently prepared, difficulties in application, variation in sheen or uneven colour may occur.

Previously Painted Walls

For best results apply one coat of Mylands Wall Primer first. The Wall Primer can be tinted according to your chosen Marble Matt colour. Then follow with a minimum of two coats of your chosen Marble Matt Emulsion colour to promote adhesion and full colour depth. Allow a minimum of 4 hours of drying time between coats. Best results will be achieved by applying a specialist adhesion primer following the manufacturer’s instructions prior to applying Marble Matt Emulsion. Difficult surfaces such as melamine, PVC, ABS, wall tiles and laminates will require careful preparation prior to painting. The surface may need to be degreased with a proprietary cleaner, lightly abraded to achieve a physical key and thoroughly cleaned prior to any coating being applied.

Plant-Based Multi-Surface Dead Matt Paint

Ferrous Metal

Thoroughly clean and degrease new and previously painted metal surfaces. Remove any weak paint and rust back to bare metal. Apply two coats of Mylands Plant-Based Multi-Surface Primer, in the correct colour tone for your Mylands Plant-Based Multi-Surface Paint, and allow a minimum of 4 hours of drying time between coats. Mylands Plant-Based Multi-Surface Primer is a water-based alkyd primer/undercoat for use on metal substrates. It replaces oil-based primers. It is a fast-drying primer, therefore two coats can be applied in one day. It is Low VOC, has a low odour, and is a powerful Anti-Corrosive. This product is formulated for brush, roller, or spray application. Apply two coats of your chosen Plant-Based Multi-Surface Paint colour, allowing the correct drying time between coats. Cast Iron: Any visible rust should be wire brushed and sanded. Remove all the dust with a clean cloth. In most cases applying up to four coats of Mylands Metal Primer should stop the iron from rusting. If the problem continues, we recommend that a specialist primer is applied to Cast Iron surfaces prior to painting as water-based primers may lead to flash rusting.

Interior MDF

Lower quality MDF may contain less tightly bound fibres, which may become raised as Mylands Wood & Metal Paint is applied. If the fibres do become raised, lightly sand the surface between coats to ensure a smooth finish. It is however recommended to use high-quality MDF, as higher quality MDF tends not to suffer from raised fibres and so will not require as much surface sanding. Lightly sand the edges of the MDF to provide a sound surface and reduce paint absorption. Apply two coats of Mylands Plant-Based Multi-Surface Primer & Undercoat, in the correct colour tone for your top coat and allowing a minimum of 4 hours drying time between coats. Apply two coats of your chosen Plant-Based Multi-Surface colour, allowing the correct drying time between coats.

Knotty or Resinous Wood

Timber knots exude resin over the years and if not treated prior to painting, they will cause the paint to discolour and crack.It is recommended to seal the natural knots in timber prior to painting using Mylands Stain Block Primer, Mylands Patent Knotting, or White Knotting according to the surface. Amateur and first-time painters may perform the following procedure with caution. Professional decorators should heat the knot to draw out any excess resin (we recommend using a hot air paint stripper). Scrape off any residue resin, and then thoroughly clean the area with methylated spirit. Allow the area to dry thoroughly before continuing. Mylands Knottings: Patent Knotting is the most widely used, but White Knotting is preferred for use under white or pastel coloured paints. Knottings are based on shellac, similar in formulation to French Polishes. Mylands Patent Knotting is a heavier version of Button Polish and has a translucent, slightly brown appearance in the liquid form. The colour makes it easy to see on the timber surface which helps in seeing which knots have been treated. When dry it produces a medium brown semi-transparent film. Mylands White Knotting is a heavier version of White Polish and has a cloudy white appearance in the liquid form. When dry it produces a transparent and almost colourless film making it ideal for use under white and pastel paints. Knotting may be applied to both old and new timber. (Even very old timber can continue to exude sap). Knotting will hold back most natural timber resins (except the most aggressive ones). Knotting Application: Apply two coats of knotting using a soft brush allowing 2 – 3 hours between applications. For best results leave at least overnight before applying a coat of Mylands Plant-Based Primer & Undercoat.

New and Unpainted Interior Wood (Not Floors)

Ensure all surfaces are sound, clean, dry, and free from dirt, grease, and other contamination. Planed or new timber should be sanded to a fine level, finished with 240-grade paper, and cleaned, and all wood dust and other debris removed before further applications. Fill any cracks, holes, and open joints with an appropriate filler. To improve the paint’s adhesion, lightly sand the surface. Prepare any filled, knotty or resinous areas with two applications of either Mylands Stain Block, Mylands White, or Patent Knotting following the recommendations according to what is required for the job. Once the knot or filled area has been sealed apply at least two coats of Mylands Plant-Based Primer and Undercoat. Allow a minimum of 4 hours of drying time between coats. Refer to our website or colour cards for which primer to use for which colour. Apply three further coats of Mylands Plant-Based Multi Surface Paints allowing the correct drying time between coats. Mylands Stain Block Primer: Mylands Stain Block Primer is a single-pack fast-drying white primer/sealer which seals in many stains which would otherwise ‘bleed’ through a normal lacquer or paint coating when applied directly to a substrate. Mylands Stain Block Primer is a shellacbased primer/sealer primarily intended for interior use to seal in any surface contaminant on a substrate that might ‘bleed’ through a conventional lacquer or paint coating. It may be used on most wood or wood-based substrates so is ideal for the furniture/joinery trades. It may also be used on porous substrates, such as plaster on walls or ceilings, and many other substrates. Mylands Stain Block Primer over water damaged, dark colours, oily wood, grease, knots, sap streaks, tannin bleed: For the Wood-working Trades, Stain Block Primer will seal in stains from water damage, dark colours, oil, grease, knots, sap streaks, tannin bleed, etc. Mylands Stain Block Primer over rust, crayon, ink, marker pens, graffiti, smoke damage, and nicotine: On other substrates, Mylands Stain Block Primer will seal in stains from rust, crayon, ink, marker pens, graffiti, nicotine, etc. Stain Block Primer will also seal in odours such as smoke damage from fire, tobacco smoke, urine, or animal odours. For exterior use, Stain Block Primer may only be used to spot-prime persistent bleed from knots or sap on softwood, prior to application of an oil- or water-based primer (it is not intended as a total primer for the whole job). Stain Block Primer seals uncoated surfaces so that subsequent coats of Mylands Wood Primer & Undercoat, Mylands Wood & Metal Paints, or any lacquer have better coverage and ‘holdout’ - thus giving a possible saving in the number of coats required for a full finish. Mylands Stain Block Primer on walls: Stain Block Primer may be applied directly over glossy surfaces without the need for sanding. It may also be used over sound non-porous wallcoverings to conceal patterns or dark colours prior to painting with Mylands Wood & Metal Paints.

Radiator

A high opacity, low odour, micro-porous, water thinned wall primer sealer displaying excellent adhesion to most existing finishes. Highly recommended for use under Mylands water based finishes for internal applications. Suitable for preparing new plaster, friable or patch-repaired surfaces, following appropriate preparation. Mylands Wood & Metal Paint is suitable for painting conventional hot water-filled radiators where the surface temperature does not exceed 60° C. We do not recommend using this product to paint steam-filled radiators that operate at a much higher temperature. Ensure the radiator is turned off and has cooled before you begin painting it. Apply a full, solid coat of Mylands Wall Primer before applying Plant-Based Multi-Surface Paint, to ensure that it sticks to it fully, is evenly absorbed, and has a smooth and even finish with a rich depth of colour. Complete the work by applying a minimum of two coats of Plant-Based Multi-Surface Paint in your chosen colour. Thoroughly clean and degrease new and previously painted surfaces. Remove any weak paint. Apply two coats of Mylands Plant-Based Multi-Surface Primer & undercoat, in the correct colour tone for your Mylands Plant-Based Multi-Surface Paint colour, and allow a minimum of 4 hours of drying time between coats. Apply two coats of your chosen Mylands Plant-Based Multi-Surface Paint colour, allowing the correct drying time between coats. Recommended for use with Mylands strong, bright colours to give the best possible coverage with fewer coats of paint than using the topcoat alone. Use of the tinted wall primer can also reduce the number of coats needed when applying over a previously painted wall. The recommended primer for each topcoat can be found on the colour card and the website. Cast Iron Radiators: We do not recommend using this product to paint steam-filled radiators that operate at a much higher temperature. Ensure the radiator is turned off and has cooled before you begin painting it. Any visible rust should be wire brushed and sanded. Remove all the dust with a clean cloth. In most cases applying up to four coats of Mylands Plant-Based Multi-Surface Primer & undercoat should stop the iron from rusting. If the problem continues, we recommend that a specialist primer is applied to Cast Iron surfaces prior to painting as water-based primers may lead to flash rusting. Cleaning Wall Surfaces Prior to Painting: Option 2: Apply Wood & Metal Paint diluted as a mist coat If the wall is in good shape, and the new plaster has already dried you can apply a thin coat of Plant-Based Multi-Surface Paint in your chosen colour diluted up to 45% with water on the first coat, followed by a minimum of two more coats of it diluted at a maximum of 10% with water to complete the work. Always roll the application out dry applying pressure with a short pile roller to achieve the flattest most desirable finish. Suggested Maximum Dilution Rates: Bare dry skim plaster/dry lined walls, bare dry plasterboard, patch-filled plaster = up to 45% water. NB: The dilution rate will depend on the porosity of the surface. We recommend you test the level of dilution on a patch to determine the level of dilution required . Before painting, all surfaces must be clean and dry. For most surfaces, we would recommend using a dilute Sugar Soap solution following the manufacturer’s instructions. We do not recommend using solvent-based cleaning products as these may widely disperse the residue making water-based product application difficult.

Waxed or Highly Polished Surface

If you are painting onto previously waxed or highly polished surfaces, you will need to remove the existing coating of treatment using Mylands Wax and Polish remover, followed by sanding back prior to painting. Wax and Polish Remover is a blend of powerful solvents designed for professional use, to remove accumulated build-up over the years of grime and wax from lacquered surfaces. It may also be used to remove accumulated grime from any interior lacquered or painted wooden surface, such as doors, frames, beams, banisters, etc. Wax and Polish Remover will not harm the original finish or patina. Wax and Polish Remover may be used with a soft cloth, but the best results are obtained by using a pad of 0000 steel wool. Soak the pad Wax and Polish Remover and squeeze out the excess, then work a small area at a time, gently washing in the direction of the grain of the wood. Leave for a few minutes to allow the Mylands Wax and Polish Remover to soften the wax and grime and then, while the Remover is still wet, wipe off the softened wax with a clean lint-free cloth. Repeat the process until satisfied that all the wax and grime have been removed. Allow the dewaxed surface to dry for a minimum of 24 hours to ensure it is completely dry before any refinishing process. Always test the Wax and Polish Remover on an inconspicuous area to check that it does not harm the original finish before applying it to the whole item. This product may damage newly applied lacquers, French polishes, varnishes, or sealers. Patch prime any filled or bare knotty/resinous areas with Mylands Stain Block Primer White. Apply one coat of Mylands Plant-Based Multi-Surface Primer & Undercoat, in the correct colour tone for your top coat (and allowing a minimum of 4 hours of drying time between coats). Then apply two coats of your chosen colour in Plant-Based Multi-Surface Paint, allowing the correct drying time between coats.

Mylands Stain Block Primer over water damaged, dark colours, oily wood, grease, knots, sap streaks, tannin bleed: For the Wood-working Trades, Stain Block Primer will seal in stains from water damage, dark colours, oil, grease, knots, sap streaks, tannin bleed, etc. Mylands Stain Block Primer over rust, crayon, ink, marker pens, graffiti, smoke damage, and nicotine: On other substrates, Mylands Stain Block Primer will seal in stains from rust, crayon, ink, marker pens, graffiti, nicotine, etc. Stain Block Primer will also seal in odours such as smoke damage from fire, tobacco smoke, urine, or animal odours. For exterior use, Stain Block Primer may only be used to spot-prime persistent bleed from knots or sap on softwood, prior to application of an oil- or water-based primer (it is not intended as a total primer for the whole job). Stain Block Primer seals uncoated surfaces so that subsequent coats of Mylands Wood Primer & Undercoat, Mylands Wood & Metal Paints, or any lacquer have better coverage and ‘holdout’ - thus giving a possible saving in the number of coats required for a full finish. Mylands Stain Block Primer on walls: Stain Block Primer may be applied directly over glossy surfaces without the need for sanding. It may also be used over sound non-porous wallcoverings to conceal patterns or dark colours prior to painting with Mylands Wood & Metal Paints.

New or Unpainted Plaster/Dry Lined Surfaces (Modern Construction)

Make sure the plaster is fully dried before applying the primer and Plant-Based Multi-Surface Primer & undercoat. British Standard 6150:2006 recommends a typical drying time for new plaster of 7 days for every 5mm thickness. When porous plasters are not sufficiently prepared, difficulties in application, variation in sheen, or uneven colour may occur. The recommendations below are for new plaster, non-powdery, and sound plastered walls: Option :1 Mylands Wall Primer (Recommended)

Non-Ferrous Metal

Thoroughly clean and degrease new and previously painted metal surfaces. Remove any weak paint and rust back to bare metal. Apply two coats of Mylands Plant-Based Multi-Surface Primer & Undercoat, in the correct colour tone for your Mylands Plant-Based Multi-Surface Paint, and allow a minimum of 4 hours of drying time between coats. Mylands Plant-Based Multi-Surface Primer & undercoat is a water-based alkyd primer/undercoat for use on metal substrates. It replaces oil-based primers. It is a fast-drying primer, therefore two coats can be applied in one day. It is Low VOC, has a low odour, and is a powerful Anti-Corrosive. This product is formulated for brush, roller, or spray application. Apply two coats of your chosen Plant-Based Multi-Surface Paint colour, allowing the correct drying time between coats.

Radiator

A high opacity, low odour, micro-porous, water thinned wall primer sealer displaying excellent adhesion to most existing finishes. Highly recommended for use under Mylands water based finishes for internal applications. Suitable for preparing new plaster, friable or patch-repaired surfaces, following appropriate preparation. Mylands Wood & Metal Paint is suitable for painting conventional hot water-filled radiators where the surface temperature does not exceed 60° C. We do not recommend using this product to paint steam-filled radiators that operate at a much higher temperature. Ensure the radiator is turned off and has cooled before you begin painting it. Apply a full, solid coat of Mylands Wall Primer before applying Plant-Based Multi-Surface Paint, to ensure that it sticks to it fully, is evenly absorbed, and has a smooth and even finish with a rich depth of colour. Complete the work by applying a minimum of two coats of Plant-Based Multi-Surface Paint in your chosen colour. Thoroughly clean and degrease new and previously painted surfaces. Remove any weak paint. Apply two coats of Mylands Plant-Based Multi-Surface Primer & undercoat, in the correct colour tone for your Mylands Plant-Based Multi-Surface Paint colour, and allow a minimum of 4 hours of drying time between coats. Apply two coats of your chosen Mylands Plant-Based Multi-Surface Paint colour, allowing the correct drying time between coats. Recommended for use with Mylands strong, bright colours to give the best possible coverage with fewer coats of paint than using the topcoat alone. Use of the tinted wall primer can also reduce the number of coats needed when applying over a previously painted wall. The recommended primer for each topcoat can be found on the colour card and the website. Cast Iron Radiators: We do not recommend using this product to paint steam-filled radiators that operate at a much higher temperature. Ensure the radiator is turned off and has cooled before you begin painting it. Any visible rust should be wire brushed and sanded. Remove all the dust with a clean cloth. In most cases applying up to four coats of Mylands Plant-Based Multi-Surface Primer & undercoat should stop the iron from rusting. If the problem continues, we recommend that a specialist primer is applied to Cast Iron surfaces prior to painting as water-based primers may lead to flash rusting. Cleaning Wall Surfaces Prior to Painting: Option 2: Apply Wood & Metal Paint diluted as a mist coat If the wall is in good shape, and the new plaster has already dried you can apply a thin coat of Plant-Based Multi-Surface Paint in your chosen colour diluted up to 45% with water on the first coat, followed by a minimum of two more coats of it diluted at a maximum of 10% with water to complete the work. Always roll the application out dry applying pressure with a short pile roller to achieve the flattest most desirable finish. Suggested Maximum Dilution Rates: Bare dry skim plaster/dry lined walls, bare dry plasterboard, patch-filled plaster = up to 45% water. NB: The dilution rate will depend on the porosity of the surface. We recommend you test the level of dilution on a patch to determine the level of dilution required . Before painting, all surfaces must be clean and dry. For most surfaces, we would recommend using a dilute Sugar Soap solution following the manufacturer’s instructions. We do not recommend using solvent-based cleaning products as these may widely disperse the residue making water-based product application difficult.

Waxed or Highly Polished Surface

If you are painting onto previously waxed or highly polished surfaces, you will need to remove the existing coating of treatment using Mylands Wax and Polish remover, followed by sanding back prior to painting. Wax and Polish Remover is a blend of powerful solvents designed for professional use, to remove accumulated build-up over the years of grime and wax from lacquered surfaces. It may also be used to remove accumulated grime from any interior lacquered or painted wooden surface, such as doors, frames, beams, banisters, etc. Wax and Polish Remover will not harm the original finish or patina. Wax and Polish Remover may be used with a soft cloth, but the best results are obtained by using a pad of 0000 steel wool. Soak the pad Wax and Polish Remover and squeeze out the excess, then work a small area at a time, gently washing in the direction of the grain of the wood. Leave for a few minutes to allow the Mylands Wax and Polish Remover to soften the wax and grime and then, while the Remover is still wet, wipe off the softened wax with a clean lint-free cloth. Repeat the process until satisfied that all the wax and grime have been removed. Allow the dewaxed surface to dry for a minimum of 24 hours to ensure it is completely dry before any refinishing process. Always test the Wax and Polish Remover on an inconspicuous area to check that it does not harm the original finish before applying it to the whole item. This product may damage newly applied lacquers, French polishes, varnishes, or sealers. Patch prime any filled or bare knotty/resinous areas with Mylands Stain Block Primer White. Apply one coat of Mylands Plant-Based Multi-Surface Primer & Undercoat, in the correct colour tone for your top coat (and allowing a minimum of 4 hours of drying time between coats). Then apply two coats of your chosen colour in Plant-Based Multi-Surface Paint, allowing the correct drying time between coats.

Plant-Based Multi-Surface Gloss Paint

Ferrous Metal

Thoroughly clean and degrease new and previously painted metal surfaces. Remove any weak paint and rust back to bare metal. Apply two coats of Mylands Plant-Based Multi-Surface Primer, in the correct colour tone for your Mylands Plant-Based Multi-Surface Paint, and allow a minimum of 4 hours of drying time between coats. Mylands Plant-Based Multi-Surface Primer is a water-based alkyd primer/undercoat for use on metal substrates. It replaces oil-based primers. It is a fast-drying primer, therefore two coats can be applied in one day. It is Low VOC, has a low odour, and is a powerful Anti-Corrosive. This product is formulated for brush, roller, or spray application. Apply two coats of your chosen Plant-Based Multi-Surface Paint colour, allowing the correct drying time between coats. Cast Iron: Any visible rust should be wire brushed and sanded. Remove all the dust with a clean cloth. In most cases applying up to four coats of Mylands Metal Primer should stop the iron from rusting. If the problem continues, we recommend that a specialist primer is applied to Cast Iron surfaces prior to painting as water-based primers may lead to flash rusting.

Interior MDF

Lower quality MDF may contain less tightly bound fibres, which may become raised as Mylands Wood & Metal Paint is applied. If the fibres do become raised, lightly sand the surface between coats to ensure a smooth finish. It is however recommended to use high-quality MDF, as higher quality MDF tends not to suffer from raised fibres and so will not require as much surface sanding. Lightly sand the edges of the MDF to provide a sound surface and reduce paint absorption. Apply two coats of Mylands Plant-Based Multi-Surface Primer & Undercoat, in the correct colour tone for your top coat and allowing a minimum of 4 hours drying time between coats. Apply two coats of your chosen Plant-Based Multi-Surface colour, allowing the correct drying time between coats.

Knotty or Resinous Wood

Timber knots exude resin over the years and if not treated prior to painting, they will cause the paint to discolour and crack.It is recommended to seal the natural knots in timber prior to painting using Mylands Stain Block Primer, Mylands Patent Knotting, or White Knotting according to the surface. Amateur and first-time painters may perform the following procedure with caution. Professional decorators should heat the knot to draw out any excess resin (we recommend using a hot air paint stripper). Scrape off any residue resin, and then thoroughly clean the area with methylated spirit. Allow the area to dry thoroughly before continuing. Mylands Knottings: Patent Knotting is the most widely used, but White Knotting is preferred for use under white or pastel coloured paints. Knottings are based on shellac, similar in formulation to French Polishes. Mylands Patent Knotting is a heavier version of Button Polish and has a translucent, slightly brown appearance in the liquid form. The colour makes it easy to see on the timber surface which helps in seeing which knots have been treated. When dry it produces a medium brown semi-transparent film. Mylands White Knotting is a heavier version of White Polish and has a cloudy white appearance in the liquid form. When dry it produces a transparent and almost colourless film making it ideal for use under white and pastel paints. Knotting may be applied to both old and new timber. (Even very old timber can continue to exude sap). Knotting will hold back most natural timber resins (except the most aggressive ones). Knotting Application: Apply two coats of knotting using a soft brush allowing 2 – 3 hours between applications. For best results leave at least overnight before applying a coat of Mylands Plant-Based Primer & Undercoat.

New and Unpainted Interior Wood (Not Floors)

Ensure all surfaces are sound, clean, dry, and free from dirt, grease, and other contamination. Planed or new timber should be sanded to a fine level, finished with 240-grade paper, and cleaned, and all wood dust and other debris removed before further applications. Fill any cracks, holes, and open joints with an appropriate filler. To improve the paint’s adhesion, lightly sand the surface. Prepare any filled, knotty or resinous areas with two applications of either Mylands Stain Block, Mylands White, or Patent Knotting following the recommendations according to what is required for the job. Once the knot or filled area has been sealed apply at least two coats of Mylands Plant-Based Primer and Undercoat. Allow a minimum of 4 hours of drying time between coats. Refer to our website or colour cards for which primer to use for which colour. Apply three further coats of Mylands Plant-Based Multi Surface Paints allowing the correct drying time between coats. Mylands Stain Block Primer: Mylands Stain Block Primer is a single-pack fast-drying white primer/sealer which seals in many stains which would otherwise ‘bleed’ through a normal lacquer or paint coating when applied directly to a substrate. Mylands Stain Block Primer is a shellacbased primer/sealer primarily intended for interior use to seal in any surface contaminant on a substrate that might ‘bleed’ through a conventional lacquer or paint coating. It may be used on most wood or wood-based substrates so is ideal for the furniture/joinery trades. It may also be used on porous substrates, such as plaster on walls or ceilings, and many other substrates. Mylands Stain Block Primer over water damaged, dark colours, oily wood, grease, knots, sap streaks, tannin bleed: For the Wood-working Trades, Stain Block Primer will seal in stains from water damage, dark colours, oil, grease, knots, sap streaks, tannin bleed, etc. Mylands Stain Block Primer over rust, crayon, ink, marker pens, graffiti, smoke damage, and nicotine: On other substrates, Mylands Stain Block Primer will seal in stains from rust, crayon, ink, marker pens, graffiti, nicotine, etc. Stain Block Primer will also seal in odours such as smoke damage from fire, tobacco smoke, urine, or animal odours.
