Hi all, I have just finished painting the outside walls of the bungalow, I have some liquid clear waterproofer I got from BQ years ago, I tried a small patch then on the wall and and it worked great like the wall was wearing a plastic mac. I was going to coat the bungalow walls with it now that it's painted, but I have been told I should have used the waterproofer first, that seems strange to me, any help please. REG

Unless you have severe problem with water penetrating, waterproofer is a bad idea.It prevents the natural drying process and if not done correctly can cause damp as trapped water can only escape to the inside of the wall.
Hi foxhole, as when I got it and tried a patch I noticed when it rained the rain sat on the treated patch rather than going all wet so I thought good idea as the rain is not sinking into the render. Looks like another good idea gone down the tubes. Reg.
