Re: Painting Cement Wall
BM can line you up with the proper sealer for your app. They've helped me out more than once on tougher jobs than yours.

Re: Painting Cement Wall
Prime it with a masonry sealer.
Benjamin Moore makes this acrylic one. Or, if you are trying to fill the pores, they makes this high-build one. Last edited by ProWallGuy; 06-23-2006 at 08:06 PM. |
