Questions & Answers

How well does a perform in the ?

The product should not be used outside

It can be used as a sealer directly over the drywall or after it has been taped or texture before it is painted?

As an example, I don't believe drywall is strong enough to support tile when you're waterproofing to install tile. The product itself is very good.

How do you use this product on a cement wall before you install ceramic tile inside your pool outside?

It's a great product to use before putting ceramic tiles on your walls

The paint can be applied over existing tiles to create a waterproofing barrier, followed by the tile being painted ?

I doubt it. As far as I know, it is intended to be applied over cement board. I am not certain how well it would adhere

This is a great membrane for half the price
5/5

It was used to seal the installation of tiled walkways. As you are in the The liquid membrane applied with a paintbrush and cured in 1 to 2 hours. It is very similar to Red Gard but half the price. Excellent product! This is not half-baked Prices are no longer high.

This is an awesome product, and it's super easy This product is great
5/5

It's very easy to use. As well as the waterproof membrane tape, make sure to grab some cleaner and conditioner. I love how simple and great this application is. It is important that you tile as quickly as possible. The top layer will begin to crack if you wait too long to apply it, and you will need to reapply it. It may have been 24-48 hours, but I don't remember anything about that After the tiles have dried for 48 hours, you should put them on. Also, you should use a polymer prep prior to installing. If you plan to use it, you may want to modify mortar.

The product is exceptional
5/5

You cannot go wrong using it under ceramic tile. I can imagine so many situations where it would come in handy This is what our stairs look like down to the basement after we put it up They won't slip at all! It would have been great if we had used it on the basement walls, but we sold the house. There is a price of $74 for this item. The price was $29. I bought it in June 2019. I purchased it somewhere else for $44 and paid the shipping - I plan to do at least one more purchase of this device. There is still a long way to go.

I put it on without any difficulty
4/5

It remains to be seen whether or not this paint will be effective as a waterproofing paint. We found that the price of waterproofing paint was less expensive than a similar 'red'.
