Thompson's Water Seal review

Check out reviews, Thompson's is far from the best product to use...

Used a product on my house called Ready Seal. It's a stain/sealer, but at the time when I was doing research it seemed like the best product on the market, though I don't remember all the specifics.

I had a 3 level deck at my prior house for 15 years. I started using Thompsons and quickly realized it was not what I needed. Someone told me that it was better for the deck if I used a product that contained more color pigments to help block the sun's rays. So I usually used a waterproofing stain that had a slight redwood tint. More expensive, but my deck looked good for a long time. I applied it every spring with a roller. Don't forget to clean it first. Avoid pressure washers. They can damage the wood unless you are very careful.
