DIY Damp Proof Cream (Ebay)

[Needy]

Hi ALL

I got damp in the hall and have allready taken off to brick 1m high

I have seen on ebay PLATINUM DPC DAMP PROOF PROOFING INJECTION CREAM

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PLATINUM-DPC-...tem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2a01817c06

Has anybody here used it ?
If so what is it like ?
Do it do the job ?
Is it easy to do ?

Thanks

Could be cheaper from here
http://www.platinumchemicals.co.uk/platinum-dpc-damp-proofing-cream-p-7.html Has some good feedback from former Dryzone users.
I believe it's a BBA approved, worth asking the question.

PBD, the link you provide is to the same company selling the same product. One thing I noticed is , it seems to be cheaper buying it directly from them (but I don't know if they are going to add vat or charge more for delivery)
Crafty people, selling it directly and on Flea Bay.
Out of Interest, this is the same product my brother uses when working for a national damproofing company. He reckons it's a great product.

yes I noticed that, but VAT and delivery should be checked out.
If the Needy shop cart's it, it will add any charges before payments, then can see if it make economical sense.
They do charge VAT and 5.99 del charge, just checked it out.
But they may also charge VAT on the ebay price.
But it does sound like the product is a decent one.

I use this for small areas but hire a liquid injection kit for bigger jobs

I used a crate full of the dryzone cream on 20" stone walls, even in the areas where we left the stone unrendered and simply painted it with emulsion, there has been little or no efflorescence occuring, I use British Gypsum "Dricoat" bagged rendering rather than sand / cement, it's just like browning but cement based and lightweight so you get some insulation effect and really easy to use, but wear a mask when mixing, the dust is hard on the throat.
I made the mistake of having the walls in my first house replastered with sand / cement after damp proofing and swapped rising damp for condensation!!!
