    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!

    Answer This Question

    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

                Answer This Question

                A:  We appreciate your interest, Allan! While Rust-Oleum Zinsser WaterTite LX Ultra Mold & Mildew Proof Waterproofing Paint can be used on horizontal surfaces, we do not recommend it for use on floors or other surfaces that will receive direct foot traffic. It can be used on subflooring, and it would need to be used under flooring material like tile, carpet, or wood. It cannot be used on floors under a floor paint, as it will cause the floor paint to start to crack and peel as well. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3
