    is there a product that waterproofs concrete blocks that can be applied BEFORE weathershield paint? Or is the weathershield a decent enough product to protect?

    I have used both but not together .

    Thompsons Water Seal Clear 5Ltr to seal absorment brickwork.

    Weathershield ad painting lighthouses is suppost to be good for exposed places.

    I’ve used Thompson’s on a flat concrete garage roof and it lasts about 5 years before needing to be done again. It’s an excellent product.

    thanks, but I’m looking for a waterproofer that can be overpainted with a coloured weathershield


    or maybe a couple of coats weathershield paint is enough (it’s a shed using blocks on the lower half ) to make it less porous

    I always use Dulux stabilising primer, expensive but worth it.

    wonder if this would work the same as I have 5litres in the shed? - Everbuild 406 Stabilising Solution
