I bought a new 5 gal. pail of Thompsons the other day to finish my
deck, I opened it up and its milky! What gives my other (older) single gal
is clear fluid. The look of the pail is the same but the product seems to
have changed.
Any ideas on this. I don't like the milky product, I tested it on a

concrete
section of my patio and it is now blotchy. Yet a section of the patio done
with the older pail looks fine.

From the Thompsons site:
Apply by brush, roller, dipping, or sprayer. A garden "pump-up" style
sprayer is the simplest method. Product will appear milky white during
application, but will dry clear. If puddling of product occurs, remove
within 15 minutes by redistributing to dry areas or wiping off.

The old formula doesn't pass the "greenies test". The new stuff is
not as good as the old stuff, but it is legal to sell and use without
a Hazmat licence.
