I know people can use it for other purposes but for me it was the perfect waterproof barrier for the bottom of my walls. After installation I was able to pour self-leveling cement for the new floor so all the cement didn't seep into the walls. Peeling the wax paper off the glue was a little tricky but doable. I remember using these types of products to keep my home away from the kids when my son was younger. This has saved my son many times.
