    Q:Is this the best product to use to seal and waterproof bare concrete slab before applying mortar over the slab then laying down tile flooring? Is there a better option? Should I first prime the slab with Seal-Krete Original Waterproofing Primer/Sealer?

    Answer This Question

    A:  Happy to help, John. Zinsser WaterTite Professional Mold & Mildew Proof Waterproofing Paint is designed to waterproof interior and exterior concrete, stucco, cement, cinder block and other masonry surfaces, it resists up to 34 lbs. of water pressure. WaterTite cannot be used on a concrete slab, nor can Seal-Krete Original Waterproofing Sealer, as this can only be applied to vertical surfaces. We have no products suitable for your application. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 6

        Q:Why is this paint not suitable for a basement floor? In my situation the basement floor would only have minimal foot traffic and not very often. Is it not recommended because the paint is slippery or that it doesn't stand up to scuffs or something?

        A:  Thanks for reaching out, Catherine. Unfortunately, Zinsser WaterTite Professional Mold & Mildew Proof Waterproofing Paint cannot be applied to floors, it will not withstand foot traffic, regardless of how little foot traffic the coating is exposed to. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 6

          Q:Can Zinsser WaterTite Mold and Mildew-Proof White Oil-Based Waterproofing Paint be used over a previously painted surface?
          by|Feb 1, 2023
          1 Answer
          Answer This Question

          A:  Great question, Paul! Our Zinsser WaterTite Professional Mold & Mildew Proof Waterproofing Paint may be applied to a previously coated, non-glossy surface; however, its waterproofing ability is then dependent upon the integrity of the previous coating. For best results, remove as much of the old coating as possible. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 8
