When applying mortar use an ordinary trowel and also make certain there are no air<br />

shaft or pockets. Making use of a stiff wire brush to obtain rid of loose bits is<br />

likewise a great idea before applying the mortar in order to help it stick. If the wall<br />

surface is dripping considerably you could have to put in a drainage pipeline to a<br />

inclining it from the floor to the wall surface to provide toughness and also water<br />

drainage. After repairing the wall surface we prepare to apply the water­proof<br />

mixture.<br />

paint. Then haze the wall surface, as the blend will not abide by a completely dry<br />

wall, but will not establish on a damp wall surface. Epoxy and also latex<br />

waterproofing mixes typically call for the addition of some water, so be sure to<br />

review the manufacturer's instructions thoroughly. You might also utilize your<br />

personal mix of plain concrete and water mixed to a slurry about the uniformity of<br />
