Even the best "sealers" will not last over 18 months. And they all work
pretty much the same way. If you don't want to be doing this every year or
2 at the most, stain...not seal.

Hello:

Have a deck that was coated with Thompsons Water seal about 5 years ago by
previous owner.

Would like to re-coat, but with a "better" sealer; perhaps one of the ones
that Olympic offers.

Not sure which is the best; any opinions on ?

Anyway, I understand that Thompson's is basically a wax based sealer.

Therefore, my question is: can I use one of the other sealers available
now over this successfully,
or would the wax content of Thompsons probably prevent absorption of the
new, presumably non wax based,
sealer ?

Thanks,
Bob
