UGL 27512 DRYLOK WHITE LATEX BASE WATERPROOFER READY MIXED SIZE:QUART. :: DRYLOK :: MASONRY & CONCRETE PROTECTION :: PAINTS

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.
