Default color of exterior sealer

Just wait, it will darken all by itself.


No, it won't. What I've treated has gotten lighter as it has dried.

I wonder if our differences in region matter here. I assume that the OH
in your nym means you hail from Ohio, where I grew up. Things don't rot
around here the way the way they do there. It's taken a lot of effort
for me to retool to this environment, where you're more likely to be
working on a swamp cooler than anything else. (The 1/4" compression
that feeds these on flat roofs is one of the most fallible building
systems I've ever seen. (=job security for handymen))

I also got to take a crack at you for Boehner. Might we Ohioans not
have a predilection for orange and red? My fighting falcons of BGSU
were orange and brown, the Buckeyes of course are red, and you guys send
an oompa loompa to stop reform in Washington.

There's a whole half-aisle full of exterior wood treatments at home
depot. I've got a redder and darker one that I've already used for this
client. Can a person mix them?
