DryLok has been around for many years with their traditional DryLok formula claiming waterproofing, yet never living up to the hype causing consumers extreme trouble. Finally after years of customer complaints and thousands of millions of dollars spent in repairs from inadequate performance, DryLok is out with a new patent pending formula. DryLok Clear Masonry Waterproofer. How does it perform and does it cause the same amount of headaches that DryLok the original latex based ‘waterproofer’ does?

Claiming to stop hydrostatic pressure and wind driven rain while leaving a high gloss finish this acrylic latex based formula is still not the solution for concrete waterproofing problems. You would have thought with all of the knowledge out there about latex and water they would have come up with a different composition for their new product.

Our Take: No matter what DryLok Clear claims it will not not waterproof concrete and masonry surfaces longterm. It may appear to hold up but at the first sign of water, since it is latex based, it will start to peel and flake off. You are better off using a penetrating solution to waterproof concrete since there is no risk of peeling and bubbling.
