Concrete and Masonry Waterproofing Sealer

QUIKRETE
Atlanta

Concrete and Masonry Waterproofing Sealer is a water-based, highly water resistant, silicone formulation designed to waterproof and seal without changing the surface appearance. It is ideal for concrete, pavers and stucco and leaves a natural-looking finish. This product is ready to use and can be applied with a roller, water sprayer or brush. If needed, a second coat can be applied 10—15 minutes after the first coat, while the first coat is still wet.
