Will this product stick to a old stone foundation wall? What if I sometimes get water in my basement, will the spray foam absorb water?

It probably will stick to anything. Including you. I would scrap wall as good as you can, then paint with dry lock first. It drys hard so water will not penetrate.Double check with manufacturing, I only used this stuff one time.

I expect it would although I'm sure the manufacturer would recommend against it. Because its closed sell, it should repel water.

I used it on joist cavities and block in a crawl space. It goes on almost like a liquid and then immediately starts to foam up. As the nozzle gets clogged, you will start to get some foam particles flying around. Here are what I think the keys are to minimize this: 1) Try to do it when the temperature is close to the optimum recommended (above 65F). This will ensure that the liquid sticks to the roof and foams right up. 2) Be ready to keep moving once you start spraying. This prevents the nozzle from getting clogged too quickly. I was on my hands and knees dragging the tanks around my crawlspace, so it was hard to keep the application steady. But if you can stay upright and keep moving, you will get a smoother application. Overall, though, I was really happy with this product.

I haven't used it inside. I would be nervous to do so unless I taped it all off with drop cloths especially the floor. However I do have an unfinished basement and when we go to redo that I will be spraying the walls with this. That is my plan at least right now.

Hello Irtafa, The type of foam you should use and recommended thickness will depend upon what you're spraying to. What type of area do you need to spray? It may be easiest for me to help over the phone. If you get a chance, please give us a call at 800-516-0949 so we can help you get your project underway. Thanks! Linda Foam It Green

It would probably adhere to the plastic, but since the foam is a moisture barrier by itself, I think I would remove the plastic and spray on the concrete.

It will definitely stick, but being outside in the elements it wont last as long as when you use it on the inside.

It will depend on the surface but usually only a couple of hours. I used it on a cement surface with decorative stones. Since I was going to use it outdoors, I applied several coats and allowed it to dry for 24 hours.

I don't think it will stick to masonry or flat stone very well, unless it's very smooth, but it will withstand the weather.

It is pretty sticky and will stick to almost anything. This closed cell foam is a vapor barrier, and as such the moisture is redundant

I am not sure. I bought it for use over a shower enclosure. But my basement used to have water seep in after bad rains. I recently had it painted with Dry Lok and it has stayed dry since.

It's pretty sticky, I applied over a textured wall & it's not going anywhere :)

That is exactly why I bought it-a limestone basement wall that was seeping. Yes it should if it isn't too extensive. I assume concrete would not be as bad/porous as crumbling limestone. So far I have used two coats but have to do that to see where it is still leaking. It appears to be a really effective product if repair is within reason (not sure mine is) L. Bane, Pittsburgh, PA

I used it to waterproof cinder block which was never waterproofed by the builder. Paint on 2/3 of home was peeling. Pressure washed, brushed, and put 2 coats on exposed surfaces. Followed up with exterior paint. Absolutely no further problems. This is a FL home. Not sure about your storm shelter, but when I was researching the product, there were multiple testimonies on basement walls. Not exactly the same application, but I hope this helps.

I used it to seal my basement cement walls behind the insulation and sheet rock. After it dries I can see no reason why you would not be able to paint over it. I applied 2 coats and it works great.

Yes. I currently have a couple of 4 foot lengths over my basement windows where about 1/3 is attached to concrete/stucco and the rest is not attached to anything. it adhered to it very well and has remained tightly attached for the last few months.

It sticks by suction cups, so I think it should stick to granite, as long as there are no pits in the granite that will stop the suction process. It's really useful and very pretty.
