Easiest Way To Seal Wood and Prevent fading Using Thompson's Water Seal ||Application Trick||

[@kimberlyd5379]

Thanks! Would of liked to see the water test! Did it work?

[@BreakFreeHomestead]

Kim, sorry for the late response! The water test worked without issue and has held up well maybe ill try to get a video up about it soon!

[@kenc.2448]

Any update on this? How is the current condition of wood? Looks like it would save so much time Instead of painting. In retrospect would you still considering using this or paint?

[@BreakFreeHomestead]

I finally made this video, check it out!

[@bradbruggeman6745]

Tried to spray my deck today with a pump sprayer with Thompson's water seal. Sprayer kept wanting to spurt out and not spray pattern. Seems like it's too thick to spray?

[@BreakFreeHomestead]

Hmm thats weird, was the nozzle open enough? Or maybe make sure its shaken up pretty good.

[@bradbruggeman6745]

@@BreakFreeHomestead I tried both. Even tried it in 3 different pump sprayer that I had. Same results.

[@BreakFreeHomestead]

@@bradbruggeman6745 hmm that's so weird because I didn't do anything special as you could see it sprayed without issue! Maybe they made the formula thicker? So weird... Now I feel bad your having issues.

[@bradbruggeman6745]

@@BreakFreeHomestead I have used this stuff for 20 years on my deck,just started having problems with this issue last year. Thinking of trying to thin it with mineral spirits. Next year try a different product.

[@matthewcrowley4527]

Put the product container in warm water just before spraying. It might be light spraycan lacquer where it works better warm (115 degrees Fahrenheit roughly)

Great video. Always great when you have a little helper. My children are now adults but I used to do the same things with them. Enjoy the moment and God Bless.

[@BreakFreeHomestead]

Thanks so much Michael, yes they make the job so much more fun! Glad i'll have videos to look back.

[@karinamendoza4]

What about the portion of the fence that is under the dirt? Won't it soak up water from the bottom?

[@BreakFreeHomestead]

Yes, and it will eventually rot unless you have some separation or treated lumber down there.

[@angus8797]

Yes that's the foundation..??

[@ivonnemolina850]

Thank you so much for this video i have the same exact sealer and wasn't sure what was the easiest way to apply it...your a life saver! I'm looking forward to my project now...Than you : )

[@justflooreit4me1]

God bless you and your family. Oh yes and your goats too. Thanks for sharing your video.

[@BreakFreeHomestead]

Thank you! You too!

[@michaelharless1658]

Great video. Looking at an easy way to do mine. Thank you for the sprayer tip. Did it pass the water test after drying? Also did you just have to use 1 gallon?

[@alphonso.digital]

Good video - lose the music though

[@leethebee1560]

thanks for the tip. i got about 300 feet of fence. this is helpful

[@Malcomb35]

Hows it holding up

When you poured the water-seal into the sprayer, it was white. While you were spray onto the building it did not look white, but clear. Further, at no time did I see any run down the boards. I just tried to spray some of the same product, but the spray was inconsistent, even stopping at times. It was white when it came out and stayed white until I brushed it with my brush. I had to finish up with the brush only because of the inconsistent spray that was getting as much on the ground as on the boards. First of all, my sprayer is an ACE Hardware 2 gal. I tried several pressures and spray patterns by adjusting the cone angle. When the spray actually sprayed, the cone was well defined and covered about half my 2x6, which is quite smooth compared to your rough sawn. That could be the cause of the runs that were all over the place, and dripped to the ground a lot before I could get my brush on the sprayed parts. The plugging and flow stoppage could be a function of the nozzle design, or any number of things that I haven't even thought of. I don't know how consistent the viscosity of the Thompson's product is, but when I finished with the brush there was a lot of white stuff of cottage cheese consistency in the bristles of the brush that wiped out with a paper towel. Bottom line, I'm glad yours worked and disappointed that mine did not. I may never find out the problem because I'll be using a brush for the next coat and succeeding projects. I'm looking at Olympic Water-guard for when my first gallon of Thompson's is gone. I forgot to say that I didn't like cleanup, because the stuff is sticky, and requires soap as well as water for cleanup. I'll be wearing a pair of my nitrile gloves next time. It isn't toxic, just sticky. Thanks for the video!

[@cmorr72]

Thank you for sharing. Ill use the same type of sprayer to seal my fence.

[@BreakFreeHomestead]

Good luck! 💪💪💪💪

[@michaelsmithers4900]

Consider creating a space between the bottom of your boards and the soil so the boards don’t wick up water. Some treatment on the bottom of the boards might be a good idea too…

[@ednaamck3831]

Nice, helpful video. I subscribed. Do you have a video on cleaning the wood before applying sealant?

[@barbarajansen4912]

Very nice video! I enjoyed watching and love the goats and animals! Nice music! My favorite video on Thompson’s Water seal!

[@BreakFreeHomestead]

Glad you enjoyed it Thanks so much fro supporting our channel Barbara! 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@rjmendez2300]

Would you rather this, instead of the spray can? I believe 2 cans would suffice at 7$ each

[@littlepumpkin42]

If you don't spray it can you use a brush? Would this work for a wood picnic table to seal it?

[@msk3905]

Yes to all

[@stryperplant705]

break free , you never poured moonshine have you???????turn your can sideways and as you pour you can rotate the can so as to not waste a drop !!!!!!!!!!!!!:):):)

[@BreakFreeHomestead]

Haha, right?! i should have read the directions. 😂😂😂

[@bermudezeg]

Your kids is like my kid. Putting the opposite foot

[@BreakFreeHomestead]

I think its mandatory?! 😂

[@cutedesi703]

This is the worst water seal you can buy. Do not buy did not last more than 5 months im so sad and angry. I wasted so much time effort and money

[@BreakFreeHomestead]

It is easy to apply with a sprayer, like I compared in my other video, a thick paint on seal will outlast for sure!

[@mrmosty5167]

Can you use it on the interior of a shed?

[@angus8797]

Good question

[@BreakFreeHomestead]

I don’t see why you couldn’t?

[@craigwingnut9570]

Great video....I was thinking of using a sprayer as a time saver too. Glad to find your video and thanks for sharing. Love your helper, getting them outside at a young age, awesome Dad!!!

[@johnm9677]

Coverage using sprayer was not in the video?

[@BreakFreeHomestead]

I don't remember, probably pretty similar to what it says on the can.

[@jaysmith7526]

Will this keep water from leaking through screw holes?

[@BreakFreeHomestead]

Its not super thick, I wouldn't think water would come through. Are you thinking it would seal the screws?

[@noemidlozano]

Thank you
