Thompson’s WaterSeal Review, Does It Work?!

[@trose22k]

I wonder if I could and should use this on a outdoor raised flower bed? 🤔 nothing really holds up to the Florida elements too well! but we try😊🤷‍♀️

[@JoieJuice18ChosenOne]

I just brought some of that for my wooden fence , works nice , thanks for showing Us it's really works to protect wood ...

[@chrisj7663]

Thanks Dwayne. Really helpful. I think I would be tempted to waterproof the boards before I fitted them so that they would be sealed on the edges and the bottom, but in fairness - the boards might already have been fitted when you acquired the trailer. In that case - I guess I would have done the same as you. I think in time water spray from driving in wet conditions will ingress into the wood from underneath and some water might seep into the wood from the sides of the boards if it drips down from the top surface.

[@DwayneDelacruz202]

You have a very valid point brother. I wish I could've sprayed all around the boards individually

[@ChrisJ144]

@@DwayneDelacruz202 Thanks. It’s all about learning for everyone. Every day is a school day as the saying goes. In any case - it only came to mind because I’m about to work on some decking but have the luxury of being able to treat the boards before fitting them.

[@daxshell242]

just getting a cedar wood table and want to see how this holds up over a year. would love an update, seeing as its been nearly a year!

[@DwayneDelacruz202]

I'm sure it would, if it's not in extreme heat conditions. Probably got to respray it after a year if so

[@arthilliker3721]

Getting ready to use the Cedar on a Wishing Well I just built for my wife. 7 foot tall at the peak, to look right in our yard. Thanks for a good video !! It'll come out beautiful !!

[@arthilliker3721]

Update: came out really nice. I sprayed our bridge also. Each took about a gallon. Putting a new top on our decks now and will continue with the Natural Cedar. Some people see this as WORK .... I see it as fun and constructive !!

[@doomsday_TV]

I want to know how you cleaned out your sprayer make that part two

[@lzh3131]

I appreciate how you cleaned it . That was how I thought about doing it. Great minds think alike!🤣🤣🤣. Thanks, good video!

[@88rushrocks]

Been using this stuff for the last few years on different projects with no issues. I have now did a 12x12 shed out of OSB and I live in Oregon where it rains 8 months out of the year so this will be the ultimate test . ?

[@DwayneDelacruz202]

Maybe haha

[@MissCarole2005]

Apparently it can be slippery to walk on when it rains. What do you think?

[@DwayneDelacruz202]

Hmmm, I've never walked on it while raining...could be a possibility though.

[@sierraanders4214]

Great Video. 😊 that’s exactly what I’m wanting for my front porch.

[@gybx4094]

The new TWS in the "green" 5 gallon barrel is much different than their traditional water seal in the red container. The newer sealant is much thicker and most hand pump sprayers will clog. I apply with a long handle deck brush. It will darken the wood, but I'm OK with that. I've found the newer "green container" formula lasts longer than their original "red" brand.

[@DwayneDelacruz202]

Gy Bx oh nice! Thanks for the info man!

[@amthevision8931]

Is it worth running through airless with 515 tip ? I have a new construction property with deck to seal. Green barrel is available in 1gal near me

[@frederichorner572]

Thank you! We have to replace a side porch and lumber is sky high, so we bought untreated bc of cost and hope this sealer works.

[@DwayneDelacruz202]

Hope it goes well for you brother!

[@Zakdj27]

Does the wood deck get slippery when it rains with the waterproofer on?

[@DwayneDelacruz202]

Zakdj27 good question! I’ll check it next time!

[@chesterogilvie1393]

It does

[@wildernessman760]

Shouldn't do that in direct sun light or when it's hot. The water sealer won't work right. It will dry on the wood before it can absorb into the grains.

[@DwayneDelacruz202]

Thanks for the tip! I'll do that next time!

[@MrThenry1988]

Might have done both sides. Good show.

[@DwayneDelacruz202]

[@DwayneDelacruz202]

We're they wood hand rails?

[@TravisInCanada1]

Cool demo man, hey I am no expert but shouldn't that decking have a 1/16 or even an 1/8 gap between the boards for water to run off or no?

[@UNITED2009100]

I just installed new pine construction 2 X 6's in my trailer. I put in the first board and used screws from the under side. They placed in the second board with heavy glue on the edge. Used a furniture clamp to pull it tight to the first board and again used screws from the under side. Did my entire trailer that way. Absolutely no void between each board. The boards were Thompson Water Sealed before I put them in and then applied a second coat the top of the deck after completely the install of all new wood sides. Everything is now coated with Thompson Water Seal. looks great and now I shall see if it will last or not, Water appears to repel off everything. Yes, it cannot run off in between the deck boards because they are all glued together. So far so good with regular construction grade #2 pine. Got boards at Home Depot as their lumber looked real good. Treated lumber is not the best grade and is usually not uniform in thickness. Thats why I choose to use the pine.

[@adilkhan7020]

303 rd subscriber here. Is the trailer easier to keep clean with this product ? Any worn spots you had to go over ?

[@DwayneDelacruz202]

Adil Khan first of all, thank you so much for subscribing man!! I appreciate that big time! To answer your question, I actually haven’t used the trailer in awhile, it’s been in the sun baking for about a month lol, but if you’re talking about keeping it clean from spills, I’m sure whatever you spill on top of the wood after the water sealer has dried will just sit on top of the wood bubbled up and you can probably just wipe it off...I have not spilled anything on it yet...just the water that you saw me spill in the video. After 2 months of baking in the sun at 105+ degrees a day, the wood looks a little different, as if the sealant is wearing off, though I haven’t tried to spill liquid on it to test out if it is still working properly...maybe I’ll do a 2 month update video on it, to see if the sealant is still good 😃

[@vickyfindley5947]

Yeah but how do you open the can? You showed everything except for that.

[@mytubebobbie06h]

It would have been better if you did each board individually that way you could get each side, especially the end grain sides. I, personally, would have done two coats with a week of dry time in between and stain it as well. Need to also protect it against UV, which is what affects everything. It degrades the effectiveness of the sealer, then starts the decaying of the wood.

[@DwayneDelacruz202]

It's okay, I'll do it when I have to eventually replace boards
