Waterseal vs. Masonry paint?
It seems to be raining a lot at the moment, mostly in my kitchen...
There's a parapet wall above which is cracked and badly pointed and I think must be where the water is getting in. I need a quick fix and bought a load of Thompson's Ultra Waterseal to paint on it, after filling the cracks with a sealer. But since the brickwork isn't visible from the ground, I could paint it instead/as well. Masonry paint does a good job of keeping windowledges waterproof, so will it do the same on the brickwork? Can I paint the waterseal on and then cover it with masonry paint, or should it be the other way around? Basically, I'm wondering whether waterseal does much the same job as masonry paint, but just happens to be transparent. Is this right? |
