Answer This Question

A:  Happy to help, Mani! While Rust-Oleum Zinsser WaterTite LX Ultra Mold and Mildew-Proof Waterproofing Paint can be used on exterior vertical and horizontal concrete surfaces, we do not recommend it for use on surfaces that will receive direct foot-traffic. The exposure to foot-traffic will cause the coating to crack and peel. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

      Q:My house needs a vapor retarder on the interior walls (not basement), which are plaster. Is this paint suitable for that? Walls have been painted with acrylic paint in the past, but a slight amount of moisture comes thru in the form of mildew. Thanks!

      A:  Hi Renae, thank you for reaching out! Our Zinsser WaterTite LX Mold and Mildew-Proof Waterproofing Paint is designed to block hydrostatic water pressure that is passing through concrete only. We would not recommend applying this coating to bare or previously coated plaster to block moisture. If possible, the plaster should be removed to bare concrete, at which point it may be coated with the WaterTite. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 2

        Q:does it need a primer?

        Answer This Question

        A:  Happy to clear things up! For the best results and to ensure proper waterproofing performance, we do recommend applying Rust-Oleum Zinsser WaterTite LX Ultra Mold & Mildew-Proof Waterproofing Paint directly to the bare masonry surface. If the surface has a primer or an existing coating on the surface, the waterproofing ability of this paint would be dependent on the waterproofing properties of the paint on the surface. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3
