THOMPSONS WATERSEAL STAIN & SEALER REVIEW 2022 THOMPSONS WATERSEAL STAIN & SEALER REVIEW We would love to hear from you if you have used THOMPSONS WATERSEAL STAIN & SEALER. Please post a rating in the Consumer Star Ratings below. Thompson’s WaterSeal has clearly not been a consumer favorite with deck stains or sealers. Mainly as it does not offer any UV protection and it grays in a few months. The Transparent and Semi-Transparent versions are prone to premature peeling and wearing after about 1 year. Thompsons has 4 different labels for the same stain. They change the name based on the store that carries it but it is the exact same product. Lowes: THOMPSON’S® WATERSEAL® SIGNATURE SERIES – STAIN & SEALER Menards: THOMPSON’S® WATERSEAL® TOTAL ALL-IN-ONE STAIN AND SEALER Walmart: THOMPSON’S® WATERSEAL® WATERPROOFER PLUS TINTED WOOD STAIN Other Retail Stores: THOMPSON’S® WATERSEAL® WATERPROOFING STAINS If you have any pictures of your experience with the THOMPSONS WATERSEAL STAIN & SEALER you can add them in the comment area with a detailed description. THOMPSONS WATERSEAL STAIN & SEALER Manufacturer DescriptionTHOMPSONS WATERSEAL STAIN & SEALER provides ultimate protection from water and sun damage. This innovative, pre-mixed formula is quick and easy to apply with a two-hour dry time and soap and water cleanup. Signature Series All In One Stain and Sealer provides long-lasting, durable protection in just one coat. Thompsons Deck StainTHOMPSONS WATERSEAL STAIN & SEALER RATING (1-10)Appearance After Initial Stain Application: 7 – THOMPSONS WATERSEAL STAIN & SEALER looks like thin paint when applied. Very blotchy appearance and it did not cover evenly, every brushstroke and roller mark showed. Water did bead on top of the finish and did not absorb into the wood. Preventing UV Graying at 2 Year Mark: 5 – As far as we can tell, THOMPSONS WATERSEAL STAIN & SEALER does not prevent UV graying very well. This is a huge disappointment at less than 6 months it started to fail. Not only is there visible flaking but the coating is washing off in areas that are not flaking. There is quite a bit of mold where the coating has come off. Wear/Tear and
Peeling: 5 – THOMPSONS WATERSEAL STAIN & SEALER does not soak into the wood but dries on top like a paint. Less than 6 months it started to fail. Not only is there visible flaking but the coating is washing off in areas that are not flaking. Cost Per Square Foot: 8 – THOMPSONS STAIN & SEALER is a very inexpensive product to purchase. Unfortunately the saying “you get what you pay for” applies here as the Thompsons Deck Stains does not even last a year. Preventing Mold/Mildew/Algae: 3 – After 2 years most of the deck was covered in black mold. It seems that the oils used in THOMPSONS STAIN & SEALER feed and promote the growth of mold spores in the areas where it had failed. Ease of Application: 5 – Very blotchy appearance and it did not cover evenly, every brushstroke and roller mark showed. Color Shifting (darkening) after 2 Years: 7 – We would say that Thompson’s® darkens in color since there was a good amount of mold growing in the finish. Difficulty of Reapplication: 4 – A heavy stripping will be needed to remove the failing stain that is left as you will need to switch to a better brand of stain. Overall Score THOMPSONS STAIN & SEALER at 2 Year Period: 5.75 – Overall THOMPSONS STAIN & SEALER wood finish is a disappointment. Checkout out the consumer reviews from Thompsons, Lowes, Walmart, and Menards websites. You will read and see that this product does not work well and has consistent issues with failure.
