Step-by-step process

Step 1

After the surface is cleaned and prepped, apply the BEHR PREMIUM® Protector and Waterproofer until the surface is saturated. Apply the product to a dry surface with a brush, roller or garden sprayer.

TIP: The spread rate is 250 sq. ft per gallon. Use when air and surface temperatures are between 50-90 degrees F.

Step 2

Remove any puddles by spreading product to drier areas or by wiping off excess with a clean cloth.

Step 3

On vertical surfaces, apply the waterproofer from the bottom up and saturate thoroughly.

Step 4

Once dried, rough, vertical surface may be coated with an oil or latex-based paint or primer. DO NOT paint horizontal surfaces after applying this product. Clean up with soap and water.
