Thread: What type of Drylok?

Tweet

Which one would be the best for my wooden colums and foam tombstones? like water, oil or latex based? also can the paint store put a gray tint into the drylok? (forgot to ask today)

I thought about using Drylok on my big foam dinosaurs..will it seal Great Stuff ? The sun is murder on them..not to mention wind and rain after awhile.

Lowes only carries two v=kinds that I know of.. ?

yeah but at one of my local stores has water based? i think

I checked my cans and they say:

latex based 'drylok masonry waterproofer' gray

Same stuff I've been using for years, works great on wood, foam and pvc. I usually add a very light coat of cheap cheap regular spray paint to the pvc prior to any painting tho. You can also add a few drops of black universal tint to the drylok to darken it up some.

The paint store can add the tint for you as well, but I like to do it myself

Yes they can tint it for you and I would use the latex just for the clean up I do not like oil paint for really anything.

Also use the latex here. The oil version was reported to melt the foam

thank you i thought it would because last year i used latex regular paint. and it worked ok.

My Home Depot was out of the grey (only white left), and they tinted for me.
