Question 1

Will additive make paint waterproof?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely  no  effect  on the  permeability  of paints at all . The paint will  have  to  be  the  product  that determines  the  seal/permeability  . This product  only  improves sound blocking,thermal transfer, abrasion  resistance  and things of that nature.  You  will  want  an epoxy or elastomeric  type of  paint  rated for submersion  to waterproof  something  . Boat bottom paint  ,elastomeric roof paint ,something  along those lines . Be sure to  consider if it will  need to be flexible  . If  flexibility  is required  then epoxy or bottom paint is not  appropriate  and you  will  be  forced to  use some sort of elastomeric  type of  coating.

Question 2

Can i mix this with drywall mud? Or in with stucco mix?

Accepted Answer

Hello. Absolutely yes this can be mixed with these, or any type of product into which a powder can be added. With thicker products such as drywall mud, undercoating, etc, we recommend adding 3/4 of the normal amount to begin with. This is to avoid making the product too thick. More ceramics can always be added to keep a workable viscosity of the material you are using.

Question 3

I have a propane fired blacksmiths forge insulated with ceramic insulation board that reaches 2500f. Will tbe stuff work at that temperature?

Accepted Answer

I would bet that if made into a slurry consistency with a sodium silicate solution (waterglass) that this could make a decent performing coating with great insulation properties.

Question 4

I have a propane fridge with bad insulation. Would painting the inside walls of the fridge with this product help?

Accepted Answer

If mixed into the proper type of paint for that temperature application, it would work. Multiple coats would have to be applied to get enough ceramics on the surface.
We would highly recommend painting the outside with our RC 233 industrial product, as it was designed for applications like this.
