Ultimate planter box protection

Waterproofing your planter boxes is an important step in making sure your boxes are intact for many growing seasons to come. Foundation sealant creates a waterproof membrane resistant to moisture and elements, in addition to fertilizers and other chemicals found in soil. Sealant is safe for inedible plants.

What a great idea! I stumbled across this product and coated the inside of my new wooden planter boxes. I recommend anyone sick of their planters deteriorating over time, use Liquid Rubber to help preserve them!

Questions About Sealing a planter box

  • You will need Geotextile for seams and joints as well as Multipurpose Primer and a Sealant such as Foundation Sealant, Color Sealant or Waterproof Sealant.

  • It is recommended to remove oil based or recently applied coatings.
    You can apply over most acrylic/latex, polyurethane, alkyd paint, epoxy paints/coatings with the use of our Liquid Rubber Multi-Purpose Primer and using proper cleaning/preparation techniques. Keep in mind that when you apply over an existing coating or paint, if that coating/paint peels, our coating will peel with it as it is bonded to the existing coating/paint and not directly to the substrate.
