Q: What do I use to apply this product to a large deck? Will a simple paint roller do?

Q: Will this work on untreated wood just as well? I have a chicken coop and outdoor srand I'd like to protect.

  • A: Thank you for taking the time to ask a question. To determine if the surface is sealed or can be sealed, perform a "Water Test". The water test is accomplished by dripping some water on the surface of the substrate. If the water penetrates into the surface and makes it noticeably darker, then it is ready for a coat of Thompsons. If the water beads up on the surface, then hold off on the application (currently the substrate is sealed and does not require an additional layer of sealer). If you have any questions, please contact us directly at 1-800-367-6297 or info@cbgbrandreview.com. Sincerely, R.C., Digital Care Team

Q: want something that is clear and best protection for my one year old deck (pressure treated). Tossed between the waterproofer plus clear wood protector and the exterior multi-surface waterproofer clear, what is the difference and what would you recommend?

3 years ago
2 Answers
  • A: if you were putting it on pressure treated lumber (brown) then it really shouldn't turn to grey would it? Sounds like maybe the UV one would be better for a one year old pressure treated deck?

Q: Can I apply the sealer under 16 degrees Celsius?

3 years ago
2 Answers
  • A: Instructions say to apply above 16 celcius. Other sealers say to apply above 10 celcius so you may be ok above 10 celcius but I don’t know. Maybe do a small area and see what results are after 24 hours
