QUESTION: What is the best,easiest and what product is to be used to waterproof a home built around 1930 that has been painted but needs to be waterproofed? Thank you.

At the risk of sounding like an idiot, I need to ask what you mean by waterproofing.  Do you mean the walls, over the paint? Please give me a bit more info and I'll be happy to help.....

QUESTION: Yes Dave the exterior walls of the house which is stucco and have been painted. Thanks again.

Answer
O.K.
I would go to your best local paint store, like Sherwin Williams
and tell them what you used for paint and what you want to do. They will have the best product for the job.
I realize I haven't actually answered your question, but they surely will.
