SUPER THOROSEAL
®
WATERPROOF COATING
For a waterproof, cement-based, white decorative finish on concrete or masonry
Super Thoroseal
®
Waterproof Coating is a powder,
cement-based waterproofing product for protecting
concrete and masonry substrates. Easy to use, just add
water. Coating can be applied to interiors and exteriors,
above or below ground. Weatherproofs, seals out
dampness with long lasting, decorative white finish.
Resists low level hydrostatic pressures, stops seeping
water and cuts radon gas infiltration. Ideal for basement,
foundation and retaining walls, concrete planters and
walls, stucco, concrete and cinder block, brick, sea walls
and piers.
Weather Guidelines
Do not apply to frozen or frost covered walls, or when
ambient temperature is below 40°F.
Application Suggestions
Thoroughly dampen the surface to make application of
Super Thoroseal
®
Coating easier. Apply as shown. Use a
tampico fiber brush to apply a thick coat. Coverage: 35 lb.
container covers up to 105 sq. ft., depending on porosity
and texture.
Clean & Prepare Surface
Remove all dirt, loose particles or white powdery deposits
(efflorescence) from surface, plus any substance that may
prevent maximum adhesion such as paint or oil. Use a mild
solution of bleach and water (1 qt. to 5 gals) to remove any
mildew, mold or algae from surface. Patch any holes or
cracks (including open joints) with Thoro Waterplug
®
.
Mix Thoroughly
Mix with clean water to a thick "pancake batter"
consistency. No more than 1 quart of water per 10 pounds
of powder. The brush will stand up in the mixing container
when the proper consistency is reached. Let the mixture
soak for 15 minutes to fully activate the waterproofing
elements. Use within 40 minutes.
Brush it On
Thoroughly dampen surface. Start at the top and work
down. Use a tampico fiber brush to apply Super
Thoroseal
®
in a thick coat, working the mixture into the
pores of the surface for a good penetrating seal. Double
back and use the brush to smooth out the material.
Allow 12 hours between coats for drying time. Lightly
dampen wall before applying second coat. Check the mix
from time to time for dryness; add just enough water to
keep the mix at proper consistency. Use brush to make
swirls or textures, if desired. For specific application
guidelines, call 1 [phone].
Clean-Up, Storage, and Disposal
Clean tools and small spills with warm soapy water
immediately after use. Store unused product in its original

requirements.
