I have a partially finished basement. I am redoing the finished part of the basement.

On the unfinished part of my basement I had used Drylock with excellent results.

I had planned on using Drylock in the finished part of the basement before rebuilding the walls. When I pulled down the existing walls some parts of the foundation wall were tarred. Some not. Some parts of the tarred walls had blistered off. I would like to use the drylock. Is there any known problem with applying Drylock (latex base)over a tarred wall?

Drylok is to be used on clean masonry walls - they tell you to remove old paint, etc. by sandblasting or other means.
i think it would be a waste of money to put it over the tar.

wait for others for their opinions
