STA-DRI is the inorganic mineral coating for all masonry, that seals water out. " Homeowners victimized by water leaks can get STA-DRI at neighborhood dealers. No more bailing, ; pumping, costly trench digging and outside waterproofing to keep water out of basements. Just mix the powdered material with water, apply to the inside or outside of masonry construction and water pressure leakage problems are gone. STA-DRI roracs in white and a variety of attractive modern colors at no extra cost, so its perfect for beautifying, unsightly walls. Easy to apply and economical, it contains a mold and mildew inhibitor for additional protection. STA-DRI is tin^e-tested. Years of use give it the background of {act necessary for successful application and lasting satisfaction. Only STA-DRI dares to advertise and support the claim that IT WILL HOLD A Pf WALL OF WATER NINE FEET HIGH fHf WITHOUT LEAKAGE. Newcomers to the masonry waterproofing field claim "new" and "never before" when advertising at lower standards when STA-DRI has exceeded these claims for years and has hundreds of thousands of satisfied users to prove it. Don't be misled. Demand the package that says "Best by Test". Don't be content with second-raters or take something that's "just as good".
