How do I get the most for my money when applying a waterproofer?
Follow these four simple steps: 1. Assure the surface is free of algae, mold, mildew, etc. 2. Assure the surface is ready to accept a waterproofer. 3. Apply when temperature is over 35˚, air is dry, with no imminent rain. 4. Apply the waterproofer on a surface until it rejects further treatment. That is, apply the waterproofer until it stops soaking in. Older porous wood may accept two, or even three, applications before the surface voids fill up. You do not need to wait until your first application has dried. Continue to apply product until the surface voids fill up.
