Could someone suggest a non-gloss waterproofing product to keep water from wicking through brick and stucco? I live in South Florida. Thanks.

If it real stucco you do not want to waterproof. Stucco itself is pretty tight to begin with but the extra rain on the portland just makes it harder and harder. Also any repair in furture would be hard because the repair would not stick. That why they do not recommend painting stucco but to add the color into the top coat. If it just that syntec mix. Lowes had some non gloss sealer. I used it last week on a inside brick wall.

Try this product line. Their OKION W1 worked great as an additive to my paint when I went over previously painted flat wall surfaces. I also seals, internally, that color coat which continually wicks water. Keeps the surface consistant when it rains. You don't get the wet and dry look.
