Details
The first line of waterproofing goes into the mix, not onto it. Integral admixture makes the concrete and plaster themselves less porous, at a cost that rounds to nothing against the pour. Every supply comes with the dosage chart for your mix.
Variants
From the site engineer's deskDose by the chart, not by feel. Overdosing plasticising admixtures delays set and helps nobody.
