[QUOTE="inactive, post: 1367407, member: 7488"] 5' drop from the door? You needed one of these: [attach=full]81875[/attach] Seriously though, Thompson was paraffin based back in the day, which was not good. An oil-based, like Cabot ( [url]http://www.cabotstain.com/products/product-type/Staining%20Products.html[/url] ) is far superior. We would use that on my dad's redwood deck and it would go 3 or 4 years between treatments. The decking lasted around 20 years before we finally took the deck out completely. You could also prime with oil-based Kilz Complete ( [url]http://www.masterchem.com/masterchem/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=b68b1370baa23210VgnVCM1000006b0910acRCRD[/url] ) and then paint with a good exterior deck paint. That would be extremely water resistant but you lose the nice wood finish (if you want that). Thompson's may have a competing sealer product now, but the stuff I was used to using was crap. [/QUOTE]
