[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Seals well an sunlight and waterproof Cleans up wood so am getting a second life from same existing

Just need to make sure that you keep your pump up sprayer clean so that it will not clog up. I have done all my pergola and half my deck. Weather permitting I will finish the rest tomorrow. Just remember that and you will be fine.

I bought Thompson’s WaterSeal clear coat product to waterproof my four new wood raised garden beds. The waterproofing worked very well because soon after I finished applying two coats it rained. The water only beaded up on the surface. Cleanup was easy with soap and water and I am happy with the clear finish because the wood grain looks nice.

This is a very effective and long lasting Water Sealer I put it on my wood deck. It is not colored or tinted . It is totally natural and lets the look of your natural deck wood show through and makes the water bead up when it rains. I use a Walmart 2 gallon manual hand sprayer and also a one gallon Walmart hand sprayer to apply this product. The sprayers work great and fast . Even ladies and children can tote the one gallon sprayer. And this clear Thompson's will not hurt other materials if you get over spray on those areas..... Also I spray this Thompson's Clear WaterSeal on anything outside that is wood to keep it from rotting. A little of this WaterSeal goes a long way. It works for me. And quick plain water cleanup too.

Product was as expected. Only issue is I need a receipt, electronic or otherwise, and doesn't seem to anyway to obtain one.

I used this water seal on a 10 x 14 porch with railings. I purchased 5 gallons Wich was way more than I needed because I couldn't find the clear in 1 gal cans, now I have almost 4 gallons left over.

Does what it's supposed to do when it rains so you know it's working.

The can was severely dented upon delivery. I don't know if that was the reason why, but I was unable to open the product for use. It has a plastic loop that you grab to pull up on - to make the spout protrude for use. On this can the loop broke loose, and I never could get the spout up out of the can - rendering it useless. I returned it to my local Walmart for a refund and then bought some small cans off the shelf. They were much easier to maneuver. Just to reiterate - I was not able to use the product in the can, so this review is not about how well the liquid worked for me. I've tried multiple times to upload a photo, to no avail.

Once applied, this sealer caused dark streaks to form on your driveway that we are told may or may not disappear over time! I do NOT like the way it looks on my driveway and ceased using the product once it became evident what was going on!

Review is more for the way the item arrived which had numerous huge dents all over the can. Paid almost a hundred dollars for this and there is no reason for it to arrive as smashed as it was.
