Questions & Answers
How well does this cover on a stone basement,previous home owner also painted the stone but the minerals have leeched through and some of the paint has flaked off.
Can this paint be applied to drywall?
No, DRYLOK® Original Masonry Waterproofer is not recommended for use on non-masonry surfaces such as drywall, sheetrock, metal, fiberglass, or wood. These materials do not allow proper bonding, and as a result, the product will not deliver effective waterproofing. DRYLOK Original is specifically formulated for application over bare concrete or masonry walls, where it can penetrate and form a secure, water-resistant barrier. If you have any additional questions please give us a call at 1-800-845-5227, Option 2.
Can it be added after the floor is already painted?
Ginger: DRYLOK Original is not designed for use on the floor as it cannot be subject to foot traffic. DRYLOK Original is designed for use on unpainted concrete walls. Please send us an email with more information about your project to see if we have a product that can help: ugllabs@us.sika.com
Can this product be used to seal the corners of aluminum gutters?
Mike- No, DRYLOK Original cannot be used to seal metal surfaces. DRYLOK Original is a thick and sandy coating recommended to be used on bare, porous masonry walls.. if used on non-concrete surfaces like metal or wood there will be issues with peeling and flaking. Please give us a call with additional questions: 1-800-845-5227 Option 2.
Can you apply this to a damp block wall
John, No, DRYLOK Original should not be applied to damp walls, as moisture will interfere with its ability to properly cure. If the wall remains damp and does not dry out, we recommend using DRYLOK Wet Wall Bonding Primer as a first coat, applied directly over the bare, damp block. Apply 1-2 coats of the primer per directions, and once fully cured, topcoat with DRYLOK Original according to label directions. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to discuss your project further at 1-800-845-5227 (Option 2) or via email at ugllabs@us.sika.com
After applying this product to my basement walls , can I redo my second coat with a tint of color to the mix/ product ?
Why not just get it tinted at the store to whatever color you desire? Save yourself a step.
Can you tint the DRYLOK original formula?
Hi Mellen! Yes, DRYLOK Original can be tinted to a lighter shade at your local Home Depot store. The store can add no more than 2 ounces of colorant per gallon. We do offer a color chart for DRYLOK Original on drylok.com or homedepot.com. You can also topcoat DRYLOK Original with a latex based house paint if you desire a more custom color. Please give us a call with questions, 1-800-845-5227 Option 2.
Can I put this on exterior slab that has crack to seal and make membrane from further dampness and water barrier
Tmasonry: No, DRYLOK Original is not made for use on a horizontal surface per our label. It is not designed to be walked on or covered over. We recommend sealing the crack with DRYLOK Fast Plug Hydraulic Cement, and then waterproofing the slab with DRYLOK Floor & Wall Masonry Waterproofer. Apply two coats to form a waterproof seal, and you can then lay flooring, carpeting, tiling, or a latex floor paint on top. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns, 1-800-845-5227 Option 2, or ugllabs@us.sika.com
