- Protective goggles and clothing (optional)
2. Prepare The Deck Surface

3. Apply the Sealant
There are two ways that you can apply Thompson’s water seal – with a soft-bristled brush or roller, or with a sprayer. If you opt for the brush or roller method, pour a generous amount of sealant onto your applicator and begin working it into the surface of the wood in even strokes. For best results, work in small sections so that the sealant doesn’t have a chance to dry before you’re finished applying it.
If you’re using a sprayer, apply the sealant in long, even strokes, and be sure to keep a wet edge at all times so that there are no visible lines where one coat ends and another begins. Once you’ve evenly applied the sealant to your entire deck, allow it to dry for at least 24 hours before using your exterior surfaces again.
4. Enjoy Your Newly Sealed Deck!
