Will this WaterTite Paint adhere to clean, sandblasted structural steel that abuts structural concrete?

I use Watertite for many art projects, more than for any industrial purposes. I do know this paint will stick to metal pretty good, cleaning tools, as it does scrape off,but not easily. I don't know how well this paint will hold up in the transition in temperature between concrete and metal, as both expand and contract at different rates. I can only imagine you will expirience cracking where they meet. I guess that's where chalk comes in! But This stuff is pretty good. It has a nice natural quality, not to mention its psi value, like as in ideas for ponds. Eg an exposed copper pipe, or galvanized pipe. This product is a bit pricey for experimenting ,but it is good for any masonry inside or out that you want whitened, as in masonry porch posts, or porch walls, and or especially basements, and will be quickly used up, if you find that your experiment fails. By the way you can tint it, or even thicken it into a paste, using white Portland cement. It may not address your question, but Watertite does work well on auto body resin (bondo) I like that it is sandable, and is excellent for repairing concrete statuary, leaving repairs,patches,and replacements virtually invisible and marble like when polished, with bees wax, or car wax. Good luck JC

I believe spray paint would adhere, you may need to run some sand paper over it.

I'm assuming so, you might have to sand the area you want gritty so the paint adheres to it. I used it on a wheelchair ramp .

I don't know how well it would adhere to the concrete, it would be fine against metal (what I used it for). How about using that spray foam they sell - would that work?

i,m not sure if you can paint over it,i didn,t have good luck with this product,applied over concrete wouldn,t stick,water leaked right through.

Yes but the underlying paint must be sanded flat first or it will not stick.

No. Painted surfaces tend to be non-porous. This stuff works best on unsealed concrete, wood decks and pavers. It needs to be absorbed by the material to be 100% effective.

I wouldn't do that, as I think the water would eventually make the paint peel off. I use the rustoleum on our bar b que and it only does a fair job.

The adhesion to a water base paint will not be good, i would not recommend it. I did have some large cracks and the product did fill them but did place the material in layers.

HI Jack You can paint over this product because it does not have repellent properties. However, i recommend waiting for a couple of days after application to see if any white residue is expelled from the concrete. Regards Mike Stone Technologies Corp 423-503-4490

Maybe. It would depend on what you are sanding. If you are trying to sand concrete it's only sandpaper for paint,wood or drywall. If you are sanding paint off of concrete it might work but it will not work on concrete itself.

I don't know because we used it on a porcelain covered steel tub. However, the walls were a composite fiberglass sheeting and so far it is sticking to both very well. Even if it gives me 3 years its worth it -- for so little cost I would replace it in a minute. If you are going to install it, wash down the area with a liquid cleaner, then wipe it with alcohol. It needs to be absolutely clean for the product to stick.

I put on the colored coat and added the flakes before it dried. then I added the clear epoxy. I think in order to do a 2nd coat of clear epoxy you need to do it quickly or you have to sand the surface for it to stick. I don't see any benefit to the flakes. just decorative. there is a phone number on the product to call the manufacturer. I will tell you if you do it right, this coating is almost impossible to mess up. I make natural soap and it has had lye on it and has not shown any effect. but the key is to do it right. if your concrete has any moisture in it, the coating will not stick. my concrete was very wet and I had to put fans on it to dry for a week. you have to do the moisture test to see if your concrete is dry. this stuff is the best! .

Absolutely. Lightly sand and clean the surface thoroughly then apply the epoxy. Surface preparation is vital to acquiring a solid bond.

It cures with a glossy finish. A proper surface prep (scuff sand) once fully cured would be in order to maximize adhesion of any paint/primer you plan to lay over it.

The concrete needs to be completely dry so it will absorb the paint otherwise it will peal off. I would only apply it when the humidity is low. The paint is internally catalyzed so it will set it up even in cool weather. The instructions should give you a temperature application range.

I am sorry, I don't think the vinyl will adhere to concrete. But I will be happy to send you a sample decal to try out! Just email your address to me at leenthegraphicsqueen@gmail.com
