A:  Hi nan, Thank you for writing in. Behr Dry Plus Masonry Waterproofer can be applied to green concrete that was made with fly ash, blast furnace slag, and micro-silica. When working with green concrete that's made of other recycled materials like plastic or glass, it's best to test the paint for adhesion in a small area. Too much plastic/glass can prevent the paint from adhering properly. I hope this information was helpful. Please feel free to reach out with any additional questions you may have. Best of luck with your project! ~Doris

A:  Hi Anita, I'm sorry to hear that! Flat paint tends to attract more dirt than higher sheens like satin and semi-gloss. We recommend cleaning with water and a few drops of dish soap. If the paint is applied to a high-traffic area that attracts a lot of dirt, adding a coat of satin/semi-gloss paint in the same color will help reduce dirt pick-up. Please contact Behr's Customer Care Department for further assistance with this matter. We'd love to find a way to help. Kindest regards, Doris

A:  Hi Rena, Thank you for writing in. As it turns out, Behr Dry Plus Masonry Waterproofer is not recommended for garage floors or any surface that experiences tire traffic. Instead, I recommend looking into Behr 1-Part Epoxy. I hope this information was helpful. Please feel free to reach out with any additional questions you may have. Best of luck with your project! ~Doris

A:  Hi ReggieM - Thank you for your question. For best results, we recommend applying this product to bare concrete or masonry surfaces only. Our Dry Plus Masonry Waterproofer can be applied on top of other water and oil-based paints; however, we're unable to guarantee the results on previously coated surfaces. Best - Sara

A:  Hi Hi Dukester - Thank you for your question. Our Dry Plus Masonry Waterproofer can be applied to vertical concrete and masonry surfaces. For pavers and concrete surfaces that will be walked on, we recommend checking out our Concrete & Masronry Protector & Waterproofer which is a clear waterproofer that will penetrate into the bare surface (https://www.homedepot.com/p/BEHR-Premium-1-Gal-Natural-Protector-and-Waterproofer-98001/100179930). Best - Sara

A:  Hi Dukester - Thank you for your question. Our Dry Plus Masonry Waterproofer is an opaque coating (like a traditional wall paint). For a clear waterproofing finish, we recommend checking out our Concrete & Masronry Protector & Waterproofer which is a clear waterproofer that will penetrate into the bare surface (https://www.homedepot.com/p/BEHR-Premium-1-Gal-Natural-Protector-and-Waterproofer-98001/100179930).
