waterproofing and flooring

[mrwall1]

Whew.. what a job... First of all I am a painter by trade.. and it didn't even cross my mind... but I water proofed the plywood flooring both sides... Today my wife installed some vinyl squares on the floor... I started to put some bonding primer before she started.. but it separated right away... so I thought about it... I don't need that.. the waterproofer should act like a primer... Well the tiles would not stick... So we sanded the whole floor with 60 grit on an orbital sander.. they still didn't stick very well.. so I bought some 3m 77 adhesive spray.. seems to be doing the trick... I will check tomorrow to see if we have to add more adhesive...

So the tip is: Be careful with Waterproofer oh and the brand Flood... works fantastic for water proofing!!

Good tip!

Many "waterproofers" contain wax or silicone...
