    Tired of Repainting
    Tintable, but HD doesn't yet have in computer. So, bring your own color. Used on exterior stucco house in FL. Great coverage. Thick, heavy - lots of solids.

    Excellent Ordering Process
    The Home Depot website is easy to navigate and place an order. The order confirmation provides tracking information that is very helpful. In most instances the product arrives a day or two ahead of the scheduled delivery date.

    Continuing odd smell & cracking
    The paint continues to give off an odd smell. Having been around race horse stables for many, many years, I can only say it reminds me of the smell of the barns. The paint has also started cracking (small) in a few places and was applied about 3 weeks ago.

    Response from Rust-OleumSupportDec 18, 2015
    Jim, the WaterTite Mold and Mildew-Proof Waterproofing Paint cracking is most likely due to the surface preparation or the amount of product that was applied - too much can be problematic. The fact that the odor still remains after 3 weeks leads us to believe that the product has not reached full cure. Let’s get to the bottom of this. Please call us at 877-385-8155 o discuss further.

    Does the job but buy more than you think you need.
    The can says it covers 200 SQ ft. however the instructions say they require 2 coats. We thought we would need 2 gallons to do 2 coats but it ended up as 2 gallons that did not cover approximately 160 SQ ft. with 1 coat. It is extremely thick and very difficult to get into the porous holes of a poured concrete wall but I am happy with the results. I've only had it up for about 2 weeks but the damp smell is gone and the mold and mildew residue was completely covered with no bleed through. Note, we did scrub the walls about a week before with a vinegar and borax solution.

    Covers well; good bonding.
    The paint is thick and I am putting it on a basement concrete wall. Because of the voids and bumps in the concrete it takes considerable effort to brush the paint into the surface. It appears to cover well and is suppose to hold back moisture and kill/suppress mold and mildew. I have put on the first coat and am starting on the second coat. I am satisfied so far.

    works
    It works. It has been a month since we started sealing and the mildew smell is gone. It has rained a lot lately and no leaks or seepage of water or moisture. Would recommend purchasing

    1-gal. WaterTite Mold and Mildew Proof Paint (2-Pack)
    I think this is a great waterproofing product. However, I cannot give the produce a good value rating. Unfortunately, it was necessary to buy the product only on-line and only in a 2 pack. However, I just needed one gallon and, I was surprised to be told, that I would not able to return the second gallon for a refund. Customer service refused to refund one gallon (which was unopened and unused) stating that the product was sold as a 2 pack and a refund could only be issued if the two gallons were returned. Therefore, from my perspective the value rating is poor. This purchase left me with one gallon of WaterTite which will never be used and will just become outdated and of no use to anyone - a financial loss to me of $30.47.

    Easy to apply, seems to do the trick
    Applies much like any other oil-based paint. Stopped the moisture issues I was having. But only time will tell if it holds up as long as advertized. With the 3-gallon drum, Home Depot had the best unit price I could find.

    worth the cost
    Did a section of wall in the basement last year and liked the results, Ordered 10 more gallons to finish the rock wall basement. Just make sure to etche the walls with diluted muriatic acid
