Thompson's® Water Seal® Waterproofer

When to Use
When you want one product to waterproof all exterior surfaces. When mildew/biological factors are not a problem. For wood — only when natural graying is desired. For brick, concrete and other masonry surfaces — only when the added features of Thompson's® Total Concrete Care products are not desired.

Key Features

bulletUnbeatable multi-surface waterproofing—exceeds federal/industry standards for water repellency on wood, brick and concrete.
bulletDoes not change surface color or leave a shine.
bulletAllows wood to weather naturally to gray.
bulletWhere two coats are recommended, wait 24 hours between coats.
bulletClean up with mineral spirits or paint thinner.
bulletWait 30 days to apply to new pressure treated lumber.
bulletEasy application with Thompson's™ Water Seal™ Deck & Fence Sprayer.

How it Works

bulletSolvent carries water-repellent into surface; as solvent evaporates, water-repellents remain below the surface.
bulletWater-repellent ingredients establish a moisture barrier, yet allow the surface to breathe.
bulletBecause it penetrates below the surface, Thompson's® Water Seal® formula waterproofs long after the initial water beading is gone.

Surface Preparation
Read label directions thoroughly before use.

bulletSurface and substrate must be free of all mildew, dust, dirt, oil, soot, grease and other contaminants.
bulletPrior to application, clean all surfaces completely with Thompson's® Deck Wash, according to the package directions and cautions.
bulletIf surface is damp or wet from weather or cleaning, always allow the surface to dry thoroughly (approximately two days for wood, three or more days for concrete or masonry) before application.
bulletFor best results, both surface and air temperature must be above 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

Application Hints

bulletAllow 30 days before applying on new pressure treated lumber.
bulletNot recommended for use on painted or recently stained surfaces.
bulletOverspray of product onto glass should be removed immediately with paint thinner or mineral spirits.
bulletCover plants and shrubs. If using a sprayer, move all objects that could come in contact with overspray.
bulletCertain surfaces, including some stucco and stabilized adobe may "bleed" in the presence of solvents, thereby resulting in discoloration. A test patch should be made in an inconspicuous place before treating the entire surface.

Reapplication

bulletLength of time needed before reapplication will vary depending on the surface and exposure conditions, but expected protection is one to two years.

Coverage Guidelines

bulletActual coverage will vary considerably due to porosity of surface materials.
