Since you have an awesome vapor barrier, now would the perfect time to spend a ton of money to build some walls inside your walls.

Me too. The applicator is a moron.
There's no reasonable way to fix this that I can think of. It's pretty much the opposite of everything you'd want to do.
I'm not necessarily sure you want Aquafin either. I have a bunch of questions about the exterior, interior, drainage, and other waterproofing details before I'd have a clue about what to do here.

The Blackjak asphaltic foundation coating is designed for the exterior. I have never seen it used on interior walls.
Blackjack makes an interior coating. I suspect that someone told the contractor about the Blackjack interior product and they bought the wrong stuff. I recommend that you call the manufacturer for guidance.
