Blue Max
Never thought to write a review. But I'm here to buy more. I made a plywood aquarium coated with blue max. 8' long x 54" wide x 4' deep. With a 1/2" acrylic window. Blue max works better than the description. I'm now going to make a more manageable size of 3'x3'x8'.

Blue Max and Seam Tape
Use on glaze tile in the basement. Always had "dampness". -scraped the paint from the glazed tile blocks -re-point the mortar joints -cover the seams with blue max then seam tape -apply blue max in several coats After drying, walls are ready for primer and paint. 3 years without any leaks or dampness!!

Below Grade Waterproofing
I found out this product is sprayable from a gentleman at the International Builders Show last year and I’ve been using it ever since. Highly recommend.

Good product
I really believe it’s a very good waterproofing and I have been in business installing showers for the last 20 years and a loyal laticrete user wanted to try something different and order from 3 different manufacturers and Ames was one of them unfortunately very disappointed how they conducted business I was thinking that getting the product direct from them I would have a better price or at least equal from their associates that sale same product Because I really liked there waterproof I went online and start research a little more about it and find out that I can pay $53 less for the exact same product if I don’t buy it direct from Ames and that is shipped to my place I hate paying more than I should

blue max
I cannot afford a new roof right now, economic being what they are. So I coated the roof about 5 times w/Blue Max. We are getting a decent rainy day here where I live in South Jersey, and so far Blue Max is holding just fine, Stopped the leak. My biggest problem was keeping the falling leaves away from the coatings until they set up. I like your product, and your attention to customer service. Thanks

This actually works!
I have 6 rental properties. I've tried other products to stop water--this works! Amazing stuff! And easy cleanup--It has stopped leaky basements in 4 basements and I've used as a base to fill cracks on 3 decks--only product I'll use again.

Highly recommended!
This really works! I had a house built on the side of a hill and the stacked-stone basement walls leaked like a sieve. It took 2 5-gallon buckets but it never leaked again after putting this on. Highly recommended!!!!!

Excellent product tech
This review regards the phone call I had with Gene, the product tech, who was absolutely excellent in dealing with me regarding my leaky basement walls. He explained everything, step by step, from how to clean the basement walls, seal the cracks, what type of brush or roller to use, how to use the tape, calculated the square footage for product coverage, to how to apply Blue Max. He even had me email pictures of my basement walls so as to determine with what I was dealing. He gave me the confidence to tackle the job. Once I am finished, I will send a review regarding how Blue Max actually worked. I am anxious to get started.

Helpful customer service
I am very pleased with the great customer service I received from Tracy on how to prep and apply Blue Max. Tracey took the time to understand my job and is completely thorough in explaining in detail how to do the job right. Customer Service is very important to me and Tracey unquestionably knows Ames products and application. This is the way a company should be run. Knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile for my needs.

5 Stars
Very happy here in Australia. Liquid rubber is the only thing under the harsh Australian sun that benefited From torrential rain and salt living by the sea. A big a1 and 5 stars.

Always positive feedback
As an Ace Hardware retailer, I have often recommended Blue Max to my customers over the last 11 years to stop basement leaks. I have had nothing but positive feedback and many happy customers who come back to my store for other Ames products to solve all of their waterproofing needs. Five stars. Excellent product.

Couldn't have been more pleased
I used Blue Max on a leaking teak deck on a sailboat. The Ames Research guys were hesitant to endorse that use. Teak is hard for anything to stick to. There were a few issues, but overall, it was a huge success. I had tried reseaming with polysulfide rubber, even tried varnishing it with Cetol, but nothing worked. I had to wait for the driest time of year. I did had some minor blistering in a few spots on hot days, as vapor tried to escape. I never got blisters on areas coated with Cetol, so that may serve as a good primer for Blue Max. At the end of it, I had coated everything that wasn't gelcoat, and it was beautiful. The non-skid parts were the best I've experienced. No slip at all. In the few places with blisters, I cut it away and recoated. The job was still fine after 2 years. I sold the boat, but couldn't have been more pleased with how it turned out.

Not a single leak
PROBLEM SOLVED. Year after year we had water seeping into the family room of our split level house. Many products were tried, and many hours were wasted, until I discovered Blue Max. In the 9 months since applying Blue Max, we have been inundated with snow and torrential rains, but not a drop of precipitation got through. Thank you so much.

Protects lumber
I used it to coat treated lumber for raised garden beds, on the insides of the beds and the posts that go into the ground. It paints on wonderfully, just used a 5in brush. Washes off the brush when done for the day. Hardens into a rubbery coating that should protect our wood for an additional ten years at least.

No problems since I applied it
Blue Max worked great in my basement Purchased Blue Max a year ago and sprayed it on my basement walls. No problems since. Great product.

Keeps our basement dry
I have applied two coats in the basement laundry area. We have had rain since and basement is dry. Also used the seam tape along the bottom of the wall and floor. Applied the coats very thickly and still have half a container. Can't wait to do the rest of the walls in the basement.

Easy spray application
Worked great on new home construction. I rolled on the first coating and sprayed on the second coating using a rented Graco 5900 with a 0531 tip. Spraying it was SUPER easy. I was concerned about that and no review I could find seemed to indicate how well spraying it would go. It also cleaned up easily enough so that I got my deposit for the sprayer back from the paint shop. I'm not done with the house yet so I can't speak to the longevity of it, but all other reviews I've seen indicate that it'll work out just fine. Works Just Like it Says

Very impressed
Works Just Like it Says Our basement wall leaked all the time, we even got mold and had floods. Got rid of the mold applied this product and it is great, we have gone 2 years with no leaks. We are redoing another room with a partial basement wall and decided to use this as a precaution. Very impressed with Blue Max.

It really works!
FINALLY A PRODUCT THAT REALLY DOES WORK We used blue max product on a leaking brick wall in a warehouse.when it would leak it would create black mold.we tried many other brand name products that were suppose to take care of this issue. they all failed very quickly. I found this product on line . I called your customer service dept. and asked for a recommendation.i used what was recommended and It performed just as I had hoped it would and more impressive just as the company had told me it would. very pleased with product and would highly recommend it.

We tried everything
Only thing that worked. My basement leaked every since I moved into my house. We have tried every product out there and they all had the same results, didn't work. We applied 2 coats of Blue Max and had our first winter with it and it hasn't leaked at all. I would highly recommend this product for basements. The customer service when I called in was fantastic as well.
