Update to Mythic primer over oil-based paint : Mythic no longer in UK. I put together a fairly detailed explanation of how we used Mythic eco paints to redecorate the exterior woodwork on an older property. Waterbased primer over oil-based gloss, how would that work out?! The Mythic water-based primer is very high adhesion, comparable Read More
Mythic offer eggshell, semi gloss or gloss for interior trim or eggshell or semi gloss for exterior trim. This is a Mythic semi gloss review. I reviewed the Mythic latex primer, here, and have slightly amended it based on recent usage. However, I still say it is an outstanding primer. Over bare MDF it goes Read More
On a post about eco paints I metioned Newlife who actually recycle trade paints – and from experience, very good their emulsion is too. Equal to Dulux in terms of coverage at a fraction of the price. I received this further info from Lucy Hoy of their marketing department, just so we know where the Read More
There is eco and there is eco. Mythic makes some pretty big claims about the eco credentials of their paint – no VOC, no toxin, no odour, high performance. What’s not to like. Mythic paint reviews reveal if they are true?! If you take the bones out of these Mythic paint reviews, which, based on Read More
Update on Mythic paint review – primer : Mythic is no longer in UK. I have been testing Mythic here for a while, with plenty of encouragement and fantastic tech support from Mythic UK.

Here is an eco paint news round-up. Community RePaint This recycling Read More

If you take a long hard look at everything you do and all the kit you use, you begin to see room for Read More
Abranet is a fantastic revolutionary abrasive that sands quickly, and beautifully. It comes in all shapes and sizes and grades, and keeps the air almost clear of dust when hooked up to a vacuum extractor. But it isn’t perfect when used on a random orbital sander to sand down very dusty / powdery surfaces. This Read More
In this day and age of eco green enviro responsibility, painters are being repeatedly bombarded with new ranges of slickly marketed low VOC, odourless, water soluble, hybrid paint products. I had a chance to trial Newlife acrylic eggshell. In comparison to the big hitters in the paint industry, Newlife Paints are a minnow, yet in Read More
Over the years I have used all sorts of green paint products. Think Safer Stripper, low odour acrylic paints and granola friendly wood treatments. However my complaint is that, with a few exceptions, Green paint products or “green stuff” doesn’t seem to function or last as well as the traditional unfriendlier products. Green paint products Read More
