Because waterproofers vary from brand to brand, make sure
you read and follow the directions on your product for
cleaning and applying. 
To prep your surface clean and patch your masonry walls.
They must be free of all dirt and grease. 
Open windows and run a fan for ventilation. It is also a
good idea to wear a respirator mask so you don't breathe
in the vapors. I recommend wearing gloves as it can
irritate skin. 
Stir product well and pour into a paint pan. 
Use a long napped roller to apply the waterproofer to the
walls just as you would regular paint. You can also use a
wide nylon bristled brush work the product back and forth
with kind of a cross-hatching motion. 
Make sure that you get even and complete coverage. Allow
the waterproofer to dry for about three hours. And then
apply the second coat!
