Any Ideas On Redgard


Opinions on it? Redgard.
Think it works?
Membrane over membrane issues?
Horror stories or where it saved the day?

Re: Any Ideas On Redgard


we used it on a stone job in a bath remodel we did last month as an anti-crack prevention

The only draw back is if it gets on your boots you'll have pink toes for a month.

When you apply it do 2 THIN coats.
It dries fairly quick, few hours.
I wouldn't use it as a waterproof agent. There's better stuff out there.
But over concrete as an anti-fracture membrane is a good choice.

Overall I like most of the Custom Building Products

What would you recommend for an on site applied waterproof membrane to be used over CBU?
