Ressurecting the fishroom stage 1
- Thread starter gomezladdams
- Start date
The killz would be a great start to covering the walls, they have a new kind that has no smell to it at all, its more expensive, but it works wonders. Then, like everyone is saying, dehumidifier 24/7, and a couple of small fans to circulate the "stale" air. Other that that, I can't think of anything else. Oh....the sheet rock, I would use Densheild...Its an awesome product, or the Durarock is good, but the Densheild is made of a lighter material. This tile company I worked for sold it, and we did tests, we ran the durock over with a truck, and it crumbled, the Densheild on the other han stayed in perfect condition! The installer loved it because it was so much lighter...Far superior product! (sorry about the little story...lol...)
Hope this helps!

I used to work at a hardware store and we recommended Ug Drylock It comes in both oil based and latex. You shouldn't use it on floors though for that a two part epoxy paint is best
