Anyone used this for tanking back of concrete block walls?
Unless I'm using it wrong worst stuff I've ever used I think!

Syntha dries as it comes off the brush - terrible stuff - 's a rubberoid coating and has to go on quick - then just bin the brushes - no time for a fag break unless you have a good supply of brushes

Yeah literally went off on the brush in 2 minutes.
Ended up pouring it down the wall and using the brush like a skimming trowel. Terrible stuff.
Even though I brushed the blocks 1st I wonder if I'd sealed them with something 1st

That's cheered me up no end, wasted a couple of hours this afternoon with petrol soaked rags getting their horrible roof & gutter sealant off after it failed to show any signs of setting

I actually think I may try it with an old trowel have to be careful with splashing but can't be any worse than a brush

Think one version is trowel on, had to do a retaining wall a while back and coverage was way less than stated, pain in the behind as takes multiple attempts to fill all the small gaps in the blocks yet was so watery it dripped everywhere

A site labourer I worked with a few years ago had the genius idea of diluting it with diesel to make it runnier

I wonder whether dampening the wall 1st would help

1.Hose wall down to get dust out of pores.
2. SBR cement slurry applied with rubber gloves.
3. Ensure any joints are struck.
4. Apply black s**t
