Hello:)
Looks like there have been problems with the crystalline waterproofing & papercrete.
I am doing an exterior papercrete wall with a color in a skim coat of papercrete. Thoroseal has two types of sealer, one is white that is cement based. The other is a clear sealer. I guess it is like Prime-a-Pell. Has anyone had any experience with the Thoroseal products with papercrete?
Thanks

Okay so it has to go on certain surfaces to be covered?
We do have a city home to renovate and would use it on basement walls and a floor. But. Have written and ask about prepainted floors.
Thanks for your input.

Greetings,
The warranty didn't hold with an alternative building product under it. We only bought one can to test it, so no big deal at the time. This was about a decade ago and things change, but it flaked off in the Texas sun.

So the 10 year warranty is a joke?

Greetings,
We tried it a long time ago, it was okay for a year or two, but didn't hold up. And it is expensive, or was in those days.

Hi all,
has anybody tried UGL DriLok to waterproof papercrete? Is it working?
I found this:
Long available for industrial applications, crystalline waterproofing is now used in residential applications. It consists of a dry powder compound of Portland cement, very fine treated silica sand, and proprietary chemicals. Combining the product with water and applying it to the surface of concrete results in a catalytic reaction that forms several inches of non-soluble crystalline fibers within the pores and capillary tracts of concrete. This seals the concrete against the penetration of water or liquids from all directions. UGL DryLok is one of these products. Supposedly this will work in either cured papercrete or in the wet mix itself. It's pricey, but said to be so effective that it's possible to make ponds with papercrete. If it will hold water without leaking, it should prevent water penetration.
