Hello Folks have a question on DRY-LOCK paint, and rather than ask the guy in Home Depot, I figured there would be more expert advice here.
The house has a cinder block foundation, which was last painted --with who knows what---26 years ago, just before we moved in. The white paint on the wall is in very good condition, all the pores are filled with paint, no efflorecence, but I'd like to brighten up the white a little bit, and add an additional moisture barrier using DRY-LOCK. No leaks in the basement, just a musty smell.
Question: can DRY-LOCK be used over a painted surface, and if it can be used, will it do anything to reduce moisture, since it's already been painted?
Thanks in advance
Steve
