No Problem! Thanks for watching!

Did you dot and dab or batten the plasterboard to the tanking slurry? What would you recommend?

[@leegilbert-wegobigorwegohome]

Hi there! We dotted and dabbed on to the wall but used a primer first so it would adhere. To test it out, we used a small board, dabbed it on, and left it overnight to check adhesion. Hope this helps!

Do you think the slurry would be good on damp wall in a cellar of an old house

[@leegilbert-wegobigorwegohome]

I've never had any experience using the slurry outside of our interior wall application above-ground but I have found this short excerpt online which may help? - "many people like the reassurance of drained protection with a cavity drainage system (wall & floor membranes and sump pumps). If there is already water ingress of a substantial volume in a cellar or basement, you can use the tanking slurry to reduce the load on the system and the pumps before installation." - Hope this is of some use to you?

It is meant for basements and cellars. Shop for the right product

​@@leegilbert-wegobigorwegohomeCan you use tanking slurry on concrete floors?

​@@leegilbert-wegobigorwegohome Can you apply cement to cemenitious waterproof slurry?

Do you use any Sbr bonding agent on the walls or in the slurry mix... Any info would be appreciated

[@leegilbert-wegobigorwegohome]

Hi Stephen! We used clean water on the walls as per instructions to saturate the surface before applying the slurry. If you are plastering straight on to it, you WILL need a bonding agent. We had a timber media wall between the slurry and boarding so wasn’t needed. As for mixing batches, the slurry comes in powder form like a bag of cement, we added 3 part Slurry (Powder) to 1 part Water and mixed to a ‘custard-like’ consistency. It’s a Two-Coat system that must have the second coat applied within 24 hours of the first, and applied at a 90deg angle in relation to the first coat to ensure an even coverage & all gaps are filled. Hope this helps!

@@leegilbert-wegobigorwegohome thanks for the reply... I've installed Dryrods in a slightly damp inner wall and will be plastering once it is tanked. I'll take your advice on the application method. Cheers!

Hi, after applying the slurry to a wet wall, should I apply sbr before applying a paint finish?
