WET BASEMENT
—Testimonial from New Hampshire—

I had to write to offer a thank you for a great product. After dealing with serious wet basement issues for two years after moving to our current home we are now dry. We considered several options before deciding to give your sealants a try. The most economical option has proven to be an unqualified success story. Our cinder block basement, once a sieve is now effectively protected from our first test of serious rains. Your representative was most helpful in recommending products and processes. I have endorsed them to several other folks who are dealing with similar problems.

  • A sophisticated fast drying pure acrylic polymer
  • Increases adhesion for Ames' coatings and paints
  • Penetrates into the surface
  • Can apply with commercial airless sprayer
  • Seals water out
  • Resists cracking and peeling
  • Stays elastic - even at -35 degrees F.
  • Stops efflorescence of concrete
  • Inhibits mildew
  • Bonds surfaces together
  • Water Clean-up

Ames Research Laboratories' Super Primer is a unique, elastomeric plastic sealant, primer and adhesive for concrete, tile, rubber, wood, metal, and many hard-to-stick surfaces. It penetrates deeply into the surface to actually bind together the molecules of the surface it is being applied to. Rotting and deteriorating surfaces can be restored to a somewhat new condition and often the surface life can be extended for one or more years of usefulness. Super Primer adhesive sealant strengthens and helps preserve surfaces from mildew and moss formation, and stops concrete efflorescence. With up to 100 to 300% elasticity, Super Primer is able to move with the surface as it expands and contracts. Super Primer is highly resistant to cracking and peeling. It is easy to apply, simply roll, brush, or spray it on. Super Primer is pearlescent white in liquid form, and dries to a clear finish. Super Primer dries rapidly to a slight tack in 10 - 20 minutes at 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and even faster with sun contact.

I own a specialty painting business in Oregon and have done extensive research on environmentally safe coatings.

Ames manufactures the best coating products I have found for Oregon’s wet weather. The price, durability, and safety of these products are superb.

Paint & Prime 25 year is a truly revolutionary product. In my painting business we get around 20 gallons of paint for every 15 gallons we buy because we are able to add 5 gallons of water and the paint is still thicker than most.

Ames products are full of integrity and I am grateful to use them.
