I just ordered a 5 gallon container of the above from Home Depot.

I am building a room in my basement where I used to have an unfinished
darkroom.

Though my basement is generally dry, I figured it would be a good idea
to water-seal the brick walls. (House was built in 1898 so these are
actually bricks and not cement block.


The product specifically states that it can be used on concrete, masonry
or composite but makes no mention of wood.


Since I am putting in a plywood floor I was going to use sealer on both
sides and am wondering if this product is satisfactory.


Thanks for any input.


Is this intended by you to keep outside water out? I highly doubt that
it will be capable of doing that. If you are trying to keep moisture in
the basement instead of escaping out through the walls, it might work
for that.
