Question:

Laying hydraulic water stop cement?

Is there a easy method to apply hydraulic water stop cement to the area where the wall meets the floor without making a mess. Thank you very much

Answer:

Yes and no. The good thing is that is dries really fast and you can use a wire brush to help clean the surrounding areas after filling the crack or hole. Just don't let the mix get to dry before using the wire brush. Also, when doing this, use the coldest water and it will cure more slower.
if i were doing where the wall meets the floor i would mix up handfuls and role it into ropes and pack it into the angle with a board end...
No easy way that I know of. Work Fast and only mix a small batch at a time. I've used it and it sets very quickly. It heated up the can I mixed it in, to where I could not hold it without a pot holder glove. It works excellent, but you have to mix and spread quickly.
