DESCRIPTION
Latex Base DRYLOK Masonry Waterproofer is a low odor, ready- mixed masonry
waterproofing paint. Specially formulated to waterproof interior, exterior,
above or below grade masonry walls. Ideal for use on cinder and concrete
block, poured concrete walls, stucco, brick, retaining walls, basement
walls, birdbaths and fishponds. Guaranteed to Stop Water - up to 10
psi according to test. That’s greater than a column of water 22
feet high!
SURFACE
PREP
Masonry surfaces must be clean and free from dirt, dust, grease,
oil, form release compound, frost or paint. Patch all holes or cracks
with DRYLOK Fast Plug, a fast setting hydraulic cement, and smooth the
patch evenly with the surface around it. Check the joint where the floor
and wall meet and fill any breaks with DRYLOK Fast Plug. EFFLORESCENCE,
a white, powdery, crystal-like deposit visible on the masonry surface
must be removed. DRYLOK ETCH or muriatic acid, used according to manufacturer’s
directions, are effective efflorescence removal agents. All masonry
surfaces are subject to occurrences of efflorescence. This tough, alkali-resistant
coating may be applied on slightly damp surfaces but best results are
obtained when applied on dry surfaces.
APPLICATION
STIR
THOROUGHLY BEFORE AND DURING APPLICATION. DO NOT THIN. Paint only when
air and surface temperatures are 50°F or higher. Apply Latex Base
DRYLOK Masonry Waterproofer directly on bare masonry. For best waterproofing
results, wait for a dry (rain-free) period before application. Apply
first coat with DRYLOK BRUSH or good quality nylon bristle brush working
the WATERPROOFER into the pores of the masonry - avoid excessive brushing
(see COVERAGE). APPLY TWO COATS. Allow to dry 3 hours between coats.
The second coat may be applied by brush, roller or spray.
COVERAGE
On
rough, porous masonry, apply at the rate of 75 sq. ft. per gallon for
the first coat and up to 125 sq. ft. per gallon for succeeding coats.
On dense, smooth surfaces, apply at the rate of 100-125 sq. ft. per gallon
for the first coat and up to 125 sq. ft. per gallon for succeeding coats.
CLEAN-UP
Clean application tools immediately after use in warm, soapy
water.
IMPORTANT
If leaking is still present after two coats, it indicates that
pores or pinholes are still open. These areas should be painted again.
When painting the inside of concrete fish ponds or birdbaths, allow Latex
Base DRYLOK Masonry Waterproofer to dry at least one week before filling
with water. If desired, a high quality latex paint can be applied over
DRYLOK after 24 hours for decorative purposes. |
