Question 20

Can you use a sprayer to apply? I have a 100 year old house with a fieldstone foundation. When I purchased in 2006 it was already coated in a thick white covering that was peeling off and as a result there is lots of dust from the crumbling stone. I tried to cover it with a product I got from Home Depot that had to be brushed on. I had to use a large bristle brush and it was next to impossible as the stuff was so gloppy that as I brushed it on it would pull off what was already applied and it was difficult to get into the crevices. I also rolled it on to my damp concrete floor. It all started peeling off within a year. I need something that will seal my floors and foundation from the inside that can be sprayed on. View answer

Question 28

I am interested in sealing my mudroom floor which is made of unfinished bricks. I was wondering if your penetrating sealer would be an appropriate product: http://www.greenbuildingsupply.com/All-Products/Paints-Coatings-Concrete-Masonry-Sealers/Green-Building-Supply-Penetrating-Concrete-Sealer The description mentions mostly exterior applications, so I wanted to double check regarding interior floor use.
