I now have two seprate jobs that came in where the HO wants the block walls in their basements painted. One leaks, the other doesnt.
What should I use?
First the wet one: He called me wanting me to sandblast the walls in his basement, and repaint the walls (after talking him out of this idea now what? lol)
For the record, I have done basement sandblasting of fireplaces and even with cases of duct tape, rolls of plastic, and tons of prep, that dust just seems to get EVERYWHERE. Also, given that I am not insured for sandblasting... and, my air compressor used for such is completely winterized and covered... :clap:
He said he used Drylok on the walls before but after about 5years they began to bubble... not sure what to tell this guy, to me sounds like he has bigger problems than paint. :blink:
Ok, the dry guy with the packed basement; he lives on the top of a hill and wants his baby blue walls to be white. Can I use drylok directly over the blue? Or, should I prime the walls first with Gripper, and then use a latex paint from Glidden over the top?
