Does salt fog get through a water repellent?

A repellent in this class sharply reduces absorbed liquid water, including the salt water fog leaves behind. It stays vapour permeable, so moisture already in the wall can get out. It is not a sealed barrier, and that is deliberate.

Do you install in Saint John?

Not directly. We install in Quebec and British Columbia. Here it is product shipping and support for local applicators.
