Answer This Question

A:  Happy to clear things up! Rust-Oleum Zinsser Okon S-20 Penetrating Sealer can be used on interior bare masonry surfaces, as well as exterior bare exterior surfaces above ground. This penetrating sealer is intended for denser concrete and masonry, and it will create a hydrophobic barrier against water intrusion on the surface. Please keep in mind, this product does not provide protection against hydrostatic water pressure, efflorescence caused by interior moisture sources, or moisture penetration through cracks in mortar, expansion joints or junctures between dissimilar materials. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

                Q:2 Questions - First, can this be applied over paint. Second, am I reading correctly that a 5 gallon container will only cover 150 sq. ft? My carport is about 640 sq ft, so I'll need a little more than 20 gallons? KA-CHING!!! Thank you in advance for any assistance.
