Mike K.: I really like this product! First, it’s stain and also sealer combined. Second it covers well and makes faded out wood look like brand new!! I built extended fences and gates in my backyard 5 years ago. After the first year the sun faded the wood. Once a year I apply Thompson’s water seal and stain to my fences and gates. They look like it was just built!!

John M.: We have used this product to stain / protect fencing in our backyard; it has worked well and held up to the hot Texas sun; in fact, so well, that I applied the product to our farm implement trailer used for hauling tractors and other equipment. Due to being semi-transparent it lasts about 3 to 6 years depending on where used (vertical or horizontal) facing the sun. Everyone has a choice of color which impacts product longevity when used in direct sunlight. Of course storage indoors will help also for our trailer.

Michelle Hammond/ co John BeckMichelle Hammond/ co John Beck: Stained a large covered porch in the spring of 2017. Transparent acorn is beautiful. Easy to apply with a wide brush after my husband pressure washed the wood. Lasted a full 2 years before it started fading. Parts in direct sunlight, basically just the steps and railings peeled off quite a bit. All of the covered areas just faded a modest amount. Restained peeled and faded areas in the spring of 2019. Looks great and the restain took much less product because I just went over high traffic faded or peeled areas in full sun. The color is warm and just gorgeous. I will use it again.

Erica: Easy to apply and great results so far. Was worried how it would apply on cedar that had weathered three seasons but it’s giving it new life and the color looks great. Hope it’s going to keep it water protected from here on out.
