Thompson's "Clear" is not Clear. Darkened the wood
Was very disappointed with Thompson's WaterSeal Waterproofer Plus Clear Wood Protector This was the Clear version of the product, with no Tint or Stain. I have a video of the application but was limited to a snapshot of the video, due to upload size limitations. Even from the attached snapshot, you can see the product turned my wood much darker than the original color. Definitely, NOT CLEAR. I power washed the wood over a week ago, and following the direction on the can, made sure the wood was dry, the can was well shaken, and it was above 50 degrees. The attached picture was a second attempt, done with a hand roller as shown in the Thompsons site video applying the product and using a minimal amount of the product. This is 36 hours after I applied the product, and I do not see it lightening up any, to match my original wood color. As you can clearly see (sorry for the pun) the wood is a much darker color than my original wood color. I also did another attempt and used a small sprayer to apply the product and ended up with the same outcome.

    Works as described
    Great product. Used on my cedar pergola and it brought out the color nicely. The rain beaded up just like the promo photo. Very satisfied with this purchase.

    The service was fine, friendly, timely, and thanked us. The can of Thompsons, however, was dented

    Excellent Oil Penetrating 1 Year Protection
    Awesome product for decking! I apply every spring to my pressure treated wood deck (several days after using a deck cleaner) one coat only with garden sprayer then brush into wood with soft bristled brush on 5 foot pole (saves from bending over!). Yes product darkens color, a good sign product is higher protection oil based and not inferior water based. Clean up is with mineral spirits/paint thinner, admittedly not easier soap

    Not Clear.
    I am 1/2 way done with the applying this product to my deck and it looks terrible. The can said clear however when putting it on it's very dark. It hasn't been 24 hours since it was applied but I do not think it is going to turn clear. Sooooo disappointed. I am attaching a picture. The dark wood is where the product was applied. If it turns clear I will update my review but I really am not optimistic. I will have to complete the job with this product and hope that at least it repels water. Hopefully next year I can stip this finish off and apply something better.

    Dented! Flammable!
    Arrived poorly packed and dented. It still looks useable, but this is a flammable item and should have been packed more carefully.

    Nice, but needs paint thinner for cleanup.
    Pros: Easy to apply. Looks good. Cons: Requires mineral spirits for cleanup. I prefer a deck sealer that cleans up with soap and water.

    Brush, Roll or Spray On
    This water seal applies very evenly and goes on smooth. It definitely seals out water and holds its finish well. It dries in 48 hours at which time you can utilize the project you need it for. I was able to seal three 4x8 sheets of plywood front and back using one gallon. I would recommend this product for sealing wood that lasts.

    Okay
    I've used this stuff for years on decks, wood fences, etc. It does the job but only seems to last one season. I continue to use though, because decks and fences are freaking expensive to install and replace. :)
