If water is leaking through existing masonry or you need to protect new construction, DRYPLUS is GUARANTEED to stop water. Unlike ordinary paint that merely adheres to a surface and can be forced off by incoming water pressure, DRYPLUS Masonry Waterproofer penetrates the pores of the surface, bonding to the masonry, and creating an impenetrable barrier.

STEP 1:

PREPARE THE SURFACE

Clean the surface thoroughly with a wire brush to remove any loose or broken mortar and dirt from the surface. If you see white powdery saltlike deposits (efflorescence) it must be removed. Treat efflorescence by washing with a solution of DRYPLUS Etch or muriatic acid according to manufacturer's directions, rinse, and allow to dry. Since efflorescence occurs naturally, we cannot warrant against recurring efflorescence. If efflorescence is not present, proceed to Step 2.

If using DRYPLUS Floor & Wall Masonry Waterproofer on floors, remember to vacuum any dirt, dust, or remnants.

STEP 2:

PATCH CRACKS AND HOLES

Fill all holes and cracks with DRYPLUS Fast Plug Wet down the surface to be patched and back chisel the area, to the shape of an inverted "V" this allows the patch to lock into the surface and cure properly. DRYPLUS Fast Plug sets in 3 to 5 minutes so only mix enough patch to be used in 3 to 5 minutes. Seal the floor wall joint. When patching, dont forget the area where the floor and wall meet.

STEP 3:

APPLY DRYPLUS

Stir DRYPLUSK Masonry Waterproofer thoroughly before and during application. Apply to bare masonry using a %-inch nap roller, DRYPLUS Brush, or good quality nylon bristle brush. DRYPLUS Masonry Waterproofer can also be sprayed using a high powered sprayer. If rolled or sprayed, back-brush the first coat to fill any pinholes in the masonry. Work DRYPLUS Masonry Waterproofer into the pores of the masonry, making sure to fill all pores and pinholes. Proper coverage is important for waterproofing, be sure to read coverage statements on the product label. A minimum of two coats is required for all formulas of DRYPLUS Masonry Waterproofer, check warranty statements. Allow the DRYPLUS Masonry Waterproofer to dry between coats following the label instructions. After you have inspected the entire area for pinholes, you may have to apply additional coats to have complete coverage.
