I'm redoing a shower pan and was wondering if Hydro Ban will apply over the concrete base that has had a previous layer of tar over it. I've tried cleaning and sanding the tar (which has hardened) down to level as best as possible. Was wondering if Hydro Ban is compatible to be brushed over? Thank you!

It is not recommend to best used over that type of surface as there can be issues with bonding and getting tight seal. A liner type system might work best in this application.

best waterproofer

As a tile contractor, I believe hydroban is the best waterproofer on the market. It applies easily, bonds to the pan & membranes, & it always has passed the water test

Are recommend adhesives used for Dumawall installations such as Loctite Power Grab Ultimate, compatible with this membrane?

Contractors D.

Laticrete recommends that you do not use solvent-based adhesives directly on HYDRO BAN. Please refer to the installation instructions when using this product.

I have seen that this product should be applied over plywood when doing interior applications. However, would it be OK to apply this over plywood on an exterior balcony? And if not, why not?

Contractors D.

Per industry standards, applying this over over any type of wood exterior isn't approved. You would first need to lay a substrate that is suitable for that application such as a exterior rated cement board. You can then waterproof over the cement board.

Can this be sprayed on? And is this something that would act as an appropriate sealant for a metal ceiling and girders in a damp basement area?

Contractors D.

Yes, this can be sprayed on, however, there are certain steps you need to take to assure it works correctly. Please reference the <a href="/PDF/laticrete-hydroban-manual.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">manual here.</a> Though the Hydroban will bond to metals, we do not recommend its use anywhere other than a tiled application.

What color is Laticrete Hydroban? Is there a difference in color between when the Hydroban is still wet or when it is cured?

Laticrete HydroBan when applied is a light sage color as it cures it turns into a olive green color.

In a shower pan, can this product be used instead of using a shower pan liner?
