Foundation Waterproofing
I need some thoughts on waterproofing a new foundation. I've used a membrane type mastic (different brands) that does the job, but is a mess to work with. Everything I've used has a tar-like consistency. The only way to get good coverage is to use a broad knife so that it gets forced into the surface texture of the poured wall.

Can anyone suggest something that can be sprayed on with an airless and that will satisfy an engineer for watertightness?
