FAQs

Mortar Sentry 15 has a higher concentration of solution and it is recommended for use on horizontal surfaces because it is more durable. Mortar Sentry 10 should be used on vertical surfaces.
Yes.
We recommend Mortar Sentry 15 for horizontal surfaces. However, Mortar Sentry 10 can be used on horizontals with 50% more product to provide the durability horizontal surfaces require.
Mortar Sentry permanently fuses to glass surfaces and is nearly impossible to remove. Mule-Hide strongly recommends sealing all glass surfaces with plastic or other watertight barrier prior to applying Mortar Sentry.
The product is immediately rain safe since it penetrates inside the masonry.
The glass will not be damaged.
No. Mortar Sentry does not change the color of brick and concrete after it is applied.
The surface must be clean, but it can be damp. However, damp surfaces can result in reduced penetration of the waterproofing agent. Mule-Hide recommends applying Mortar Sentry products to clean, dry surfaces to ensure maximum penetration of the waterproofing agent.
Yes. Mortar Sentry should not be allowed to freeze and should not be stored in temperatures above 90°F.
Efflorescence is a white powdery substance that forms on the surface of brick and concrete. It is caused when water vapor trapped within the wall exits the surface and deposits dissolved salts from the masonry as it evaporates. Efflorescence occurs when all three of the following conditions exist: 1. Must be water soluble salts within a wall. Quite often, these salts are found in the mortar. 2. There must be enough moisture in the wall to dissolve the salts. 3. There must be a path for water to migrate to the surface of the wall where it can evaporate. Applying Mortar Sentry to brick and concrete walls prevents condition #2 from occurring, which prevent efflorescence from forming.
Mortar Sentry is a water-base product. Although there are no solvents, it is always good roofing practice to protect any roofing membrane when applying a waterproofing solution to walls and chimneys. Mule-Hide recommends applying Mortar Sentry to walls before installing the new roof. EPDM single-ply membranes, acrylic or aluminum coatings.
The product evaporates and or reacts with granules. There is no real effect.
Mortar Sentry has an approximate service life of 10 years under normal weathering conditions. An easy way to test whether to re-apply is to throw water on the wall. If it beads up and falls off of the wall, Mortar Sentry is still properly functioning. If it begins to saturate the brick or concrete, it is time to re-apply.
No. Once Mortar Sentry freezes it is unuseable and must be discarded.
Yes, you may power wash treated surfaces. Be sure not to get too aggressive and remove concrete or mortar while power washing.
Mule-Hide recommends using a low pressure, garden type, sprayer to apply Mortar Sentry. We also recommend applying Mortar Sentry from the bottom up to reduce the possibility of streaking.
