Review on Geo-Textile Liquid Rubber Sealant - Seam and Joint Repair for Leaks, Restoration, and Easy Application - 4 Inch x 50 Foot Roll by Christopher Gotcher

I read on the internet that conventional resin foundations only last about 7 years before they start to crack and let water in. Liquid rubber appears to provide a much more effective water barrier, forming a strong membrane over the surface of the foundation, preventing water from seeping into the block. I found the product easy to apply with a brush for the first coat. into the porous surface of old and new concrete blocks. I applied the second and third coats with a 3/4" nap roller and it was much faster. (Two 5 gallon buckets covered about 475 square feet, three coats covered most of the area, 4 along the footer.) I also bought a roller.Liquid Rubber Geo-Textile to use on the seam between the baseboard and the wall.Although messy to apply and cover, I found it to rip a bit due to the less than ideal surfaces I applied it to( The bottom of the footer wasn't smooth making it an uneven surface to try and install a strip of fabric.) Even the vertical seams in the concrete block caused the fabric to tear.I tried putting extra layers on top of the fabric, but it didn't stick as well as I had hoped. I ended up only using Geo Textile for 5ft of wall so it was a wasted $65 purchase. At the end of the day I only have about 4 coats of flee Put vinegar gum on this seam and I'm glad it will seal it well. m what a disappointment with this product. Because I was repairing a foundation wall that had leaked water in the past, the log wall and base area were severely waterlogged. And in some places there were blocks that were beginning to crumble/become sandy. I let it air dry for about a week and then used a propane roof lamp to dry it some more before applying liquid rubber. And I wired up all the loose sand to make sure I applied the product to a hard surface. For the most part, this seemed to dry it well enough to form a good bond even with a loose surface. However, in some of these areas I have noticed that the final membrane is detaching from the wall. I used a utility knife to cut out the blisters and reapply new product. I'm sure if he ever "retires," it will be in one of those areas. Otherwise the material would be dirty but not as bad as the resin product. And it was pretty easy to wash even though I had just thrown away my work clothes. I'd prefer it to a tar product any day, but with the caveat that you have hard, dry surfaces to stick it to. And skip Geo Textile if your surfaces aren't perfectly smooth. Just use extra liquid gum to hide this transition.
