Questions and Answers for BEHR PREMIUM 1 gal. #876 Basement Gray Flat Interior/Exterior Dry Plus Basement & Masonry Waterproofer

A:  Hi Ivan, thank you for your question. Although the DryPlus Basement and Masonry Waterproofer is an excellent choice for painting the exterior of your house and is rain-resistant, it doesn't provide the benefit of being fade-resistant. For a paint that can be applied and provides these benefits, I recommend looking into our Exterior Dynasty Paint, which offers 10 years of fade protection when tinted to a fade-protected color. Have a great day! - Randy

A:  Hi Lawrence, thank you for your question. The Dry Plus Basement and Masonry Waterproofer is water-based. However, it is not a low/no-VOC paint, as it contains approximately 100 grams per liter. Have a great day! - Randy

A:  Hi Jeannine, thanks for the question. For painting over glossy surfaces, it's recommended to scuff-sand the existing paint first to ensure the adhesion of the Dry Plus Paint. I'd also recommend checking with the manufacturer to see if the original paint that you used can be top-coated with a water-based product. Have a great day! -Ronald

A:  Hi Jack, thank you for your question. We do not recommend any of our coatings for shower walls. Our coatings are not designed to get wet constantly or be submerged under water, as the coating will not hold up. I suggest looking into a specialty product for your project. Have a great day! -Giovanna

A:  Hi Tumbleweed, thank you for your question. Our Dry Plus Paint is not formulated to withstand foot traffic, and it can peel prematurely. For basement floors, you can use our Porch and Patio Floor Paint or 1-Part Epoxy. The surface should be sound, clean, dry, and etched until it feels like 150-grit sandpaper. Also, use the Bonding Primer No. 880. Good luck with your project! -Giovanna

A:  Hi Marcos, thank you for your question. The Dry Plus Paint is a water-based product. It can be used on cured mortar and it is designed to waterproof and withstand 12 PSI of water pressure. Have a great day! -Giovanna

A:  Hi John, thanks for the question. We don't recommend applying the Dry Plus Basement & Waterproofer over brick that is crumbling, The loose concrete would need to be removed down to a sound surface first. When applying the Dry Plus, a separate primer isn't needed. Have a great day! -Ronald

A:  Hi Hope, thanks for your question. As it turns out, we don't recommend using our Dry Plus paint on furniture. Instead, it's best to our Solid Color Concrete Stain for your outdoor dining table. However, keep in mind that our products are not safe for direct food contact. Have a great day! -Christina
