Concrete & Masonry Sealers Q&A
Activity timeframe
I am restoring the interior of a building which has a poured concrete floor and block walls. Previously, both the walls and the floor were painted, but since at one end of the building the ground rises several feet up the wall on the outside, the moisture from the earth managed to seep through just a little, causing damp on the floor and wall in that area, and eroding the paint. What product would you recommend to solve this slight dampness? would its use require me to remove the old paint completely (which would be a chore)? I intend to panel the walls and repaint the floor, and do not want recurrence of the problem. View answer

I want to build a raised bed garden and am having trouble finding cedar wood where I live. The cost is more than I would like to spend if I would purchase the cedar lumber at Home Depot or in kits. I was wondering if any of your products would work on untreated lumber. My goal is to keep chemicals from leaching into the vegetable bed. Any thoughts? View answer

I'm interested in receiving samples of your products. Is this possible? I have a microcement company in Miami, and we use sealers and polyurethane as the finishing coats for all of our projects. Please advise what would be the best recommended product from your product line up. View answer

Hi! i bought a gallon and painted the inside of my planters but read in your instructions it should not be exposed to sun or the elements. Since mt boxes are angled, above soil line there will be 10 inches exposed to sun and rain on all my 10 planters. Should I coat this with something else? Ideally white (and even more ideal if i don't need to coat again but i do want it to last). Thank you! View answer

I (apparently) overapplied this product to a sandstone floor and it left a white hazy residue, with opaque white in the crevices of the stone. How do I remove this residue? Also, if I want a more satin finish, can Safecoat Mexeseal be applied over Safecoat Penetrating Waterstop, or does the latter need to be completely removed, and if so, how? View answer

I have a basement with a poured concrete floor and block walls. I also have a radon issue. Radon mitigation has been installed and is providing good evacuation of the air under the slab BUT i believe that the unsealed block walls are "leaking" enough air to bring some radon into the space. Will treating the walls with GBS seal the walls against any airflow and hence the radon that would be carried in with the Air? View answer
