by|Dec 11, 2023
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  If there was a sealer present, BIll, the Rust-Oleum Zinsser WaterTite Mold and Mildew Proof Paint will not work properly over it. The concern is that the WaterTite product is designed for bare concrete, so that it can help protect the surface by waterproofing it appropriately. We will not be able to guarantee results when used over another product. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 1

      Answer This Question

      A:  Happy to help, Jay! Rust-Oleum Zinsser WaterTite Mold and Mildew-Proof Oil-Based Paint is not considered to be a flexible coating. Instead, we recommend Rust-Oleum Zinsser WaterTite Flexible Primer and Finish if needing a flexible primer. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Zinsser-1-gal-Watertite-Flexible-Primer-and-Finish-Paint-2-Pack-5061/204805324 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

          Contains Portland cement to fill cement wall's porous crevices.
          Contains Portland cement to fill cement wall's porous crevices. This fact is the reason the three gallon container is so heavy. A convenient pour spout is located on the top of the can. If you have a paint shaker, this is preferred for mixing the contents. Because the product is petroleum based, be sure to follow the directions an work in a well ventilated space. If indoors, do not work near a flame or source of ignition, Shut off any appliance like dryers, water heater, furnace, etc. Open all windows. Rust-ole-um makes great paints and finishes. They did it again with this for providing a watertight paint that is perfect for basement walls inside or out. Will hold back 34 PSI of water pressure. Any solid wall or brick will become watertight. Drys quickly for a second coat the same day.

          Does The Job Needed
          I found the can a bit difficult to open and I had to get a friend come and help me. I chose the oil base instead of the latex because I read that it tends to hold back the water better. I live above natural springs in the ground and near a stream. During rainy times it definitely comes through the wall in my basement. I found this to be very easy to use. I only did a small area because of it being winter here and it went on very well. They suggest a thick napped roller or a brush. After using a similar product at our old house I went for the wall paper brush. Clean up is harder because of it being oil based and that was the only drawback but obviously my choice after researching things.

          I have received this product. Zinsser 3 gal. WaterTite Mold and Mildew-Proof White Oil Based primer
          I have received this product Finally. I have used this product for sealing up walls prior to finish coating them. It will successfully cover mold stains and will also seal in odors like smoke and mildew. It is good stuff to use to deep down freshen up basements and does provide a sound subsurface for your color coat. This is good old oil base primer.

          Applies nicely, cleanup requires paint thinner
          This Watertite paint is a great choice for trying to prevent or avoid wet walls, mold, or mildew. It’s designed for use on cinder blocks, cement, or bricks. Importantly, note that it is an oil-based paint, meaning cleanup is a bit more challenging and requires paint thinner. I used it on a small retaining wall around a garden. It applies smoothly and dries relatively quickly.

          Water proofing option.
          I'm about to do a water proofing project in my basement well water room and I'm using this Zinsser 3 gallon water proofing product. I have used many cement based water proofing products in the past and I figured I'd give this product a try. It goes on with a brush or roller. It is oil based, so clean up you will have to use mineral spirits. It has very low odor but supply fresh air when applying. My moisture isn't to bad so this works well.

          Intense Coating
          This paint is thick and the consistency is like cake icing. I painted a metal flower stand and used a brush and a roller. I recommend using a disposable brush or roll. The thickness of the paint brush cleaning would be tough. As you can see from the pictures it coated the stand exceptionally well. Because of the thickness it leaves a smooth but somewhat wavy finish. Only time will tell if it keeps the stand from rusting through.

          It works well just follow directions
          Hey ladies and gentlemen here again today with another review this time I'll be reviewing some concrete, block, brick paint, home Depot sent me this stuff earlier this week, I have previously experience and knowledge of this product, I used in on my mother in laws brick porch, she wanted some color to the front recessed porch instead of the 6p year old faded in Texas sun brick, so it's Important to thoroughly clean the brick and I mean thorough, I did a multi step cleaning with degreaser, tsp, and a light acid followed by a lot of rising, actually all the work made the brick look nice, anyways I attribute the paint holding up so well to my preparation the paint looks good to this day no stains and fading or chalking don't cake on the first coat use that as your binding coat it doesn't have to cover and color the brick in the first pass, let the brick absorb the paint into yhe pores to seal then just paint as you normally would, coverage was good no need to really cake it on

          Effective Coverage and helpful instructions
          I recently used Zinsser WaterTite Mold and Mildew-Proof paint during a basement renovation. The paint went into the concrete block nicely and filled in the texture easily, the paint really seemed to soak into the block well. The large 3 Gallon container came with a slight dent but it still held in the paint just fine. Applying the two recommended coats went very smoothly with this paint and I plan on doing the rest of the basement with it eventually.

          Zinseer WaterTight Mold and Mildew Professional Paint
          Zinsser WaterTight mold and mildew proof professional oil bases paint has proved to me to be the exact product that I needed. I have an exterior block wall that surrounds my backyard for privacy and keeping the dog in place. A couple of years ago I had the whole house painted along with the concrete/cinder block wall. I had the structure pressure washed and painted with a very good exterior paint. After about a year or so, one area of the block wall started to show some wear, with the paint starting to flake off in one particular area. After time and a lot of investigating, I found that my neighbor had a irrigation leak on his side of the yard that was slowly soaking into the block causing some block erosion and the paint starting to flake off. Using this product on the affected area showed me immediate results. The paint is very thick and goes on pretty heavy. I feel that this not only stabilized the wall from any further flaking, but added some look and structure back to the flaked & eroded affected area. This product applies almost as a very thick gel. I made the mistake of using a cheap paint brush to eliminate cleaning it after use. Big mistake, as the bristles from the cheap brush, due to the thickness of the paint, pulled the bristles off the brush and on to the paint job. The job also took some extra care and work to get it to fill in the rough & eroded area of the cinder block. This product is also oil based, meaning cleanup is a lot more difficult than latex based paint which normally cleans up pretty easily with just water. I feel very confident that this Zinseer WaterTight product will resolve the paint from flaking & eroding any further and helping the block wall last for many years to come

          Great product
          Great product that gives a great protection. It is an oil based paint that protects against mold and mildew. It has a resin in the paint that will help give a watertight seal of protection. It has a lifetime waterproof protection and a 10 year mold and mildew protection. It is easy to apply and clean up is with soap and water. Designed to have 2 coats used, first is to seal and the second is to ensure protection.
