SAMPLE - AFM SafeCoat, WaterShield Q&A
Activity timeframe
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

We are going to put down a new tile floor in our kitchen. Unfortunately, we have particle board subflooring and we were told we need to seal the particle board before putting any self-leveling grout or adhesive for cement board on the particle board. Would AFM Safecoat WaterShield be appropriate? Or do you have other recommendations? View answer

I painted a countertop with a matte black paint. Could this be used to seal the paint job? What about for cabinets--to prevent chipping and damage from kitchen spills? If not, what would be the best to use? I am very sensitive to chemical smells/odors, so I need something that is low/no odor and preferably zero VOCs. Thanks! View answer

I'm trying to slow moisture transfer, effervescence and dusting on brick basement interior walls. I've done what I can to regrade and drain outside but get moisture in the corners where there's old mortar/dirt between layers I think that don't dry well and show darker on the brick where it's been lime mortar repaired. (Like a sponged on german schmear.) Would this product be good for this application? View answer

We have a tuck under cinder block/cement garage that is often moist due to seepage from the brick patio over the garage and water seepage into the underground walls. The walls have been painted, but are bubbling in places and in some places the paint is now gone and the block walls are crumbly. What is the best product to use inside the garage to seal out water, and prevent mold/mildew moisture. Is there a sealer that would help seal and prevent moisture from the brick patio from seeping into the garage? View answer

I bought a 1936 concrete home in Miami Florida in January in the dry season. The town has no storm drainage system( which I didn't know) and the property is in a flood zone. We are elevating the ground 18 inches with soil around the entire foundation, and grading a slow slope down away from the house. I want to waterproof the concrete foundation before we push the soil up against the house. What is the best material to use? I was told that an epoxy liquid would be good to coat on the foundation, but I have no idea if that's good. Thanks for any help you can provide. We don't have a basement, only a crawl space.

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
