Q:Hi approximately 330 6ft fence boards were installed. How many gallons of the clear transparency I need for 2 coats? Also, should I use any other product before applying. The boards were installed 2 weeks ago

Answer This Question

A:  Hi Shay, thank you for your question. The Premium Transparent Waterproofing Wood Finish should cover 300-350 sq. ft. for the first coat and 600-700 sq. ft. for the second coat. Before applying, it's best to clean using our All-In-One Wood Cleaner and allow the surface to dry thoroughly. Have a great day! - Randy

      Q:I've asked this before and not received a reply. Can I mix sand or fine grit in with the sealer to obtain a textured/non-slip surface.

      Answer This Question

      A:  Hi StevenS, thank you for your question. We do not recommend mixing sand to get a non-slip surface. Instead, you should use a coating that is textured already, such as our DeckOver product. Have a great day! -Giovanna

        Q:We got a low snap coming. I can apply in 45-50 degrees but that night will be 33-35degrees. Is that enough time or do I need to wait?

        Answer This Question

        A:  Hi Plantice, thanks for the question. You can apply the Waterproofing Exterior Wood Finish as long as the temperature doesn't get below 35 degrees for at least 24 hours. Keep in mind that the colder temperatures could lengthen the dry time of the stain. Good luck with your project. -Ronald

            NOT CLEAR! It is an opaque butterscotch color
            OMG, I could not believe they call this "clear". I put this product on my log cabin and it is definitely more of an orange STAIN. I thought it must have been a mismarked batch, so I called customer service. They said the UV chemicals they use give it this color and it will be the same on all of their UV protected products! Why call it CLEAR then???!!!

            Hi GregK, thank you for your review. I'm very sorry to hear your color didn't turn out as expected. Our goal is to help ensure our customers have a positive experience with our products, so I appreciate your honest feedback. I can understand how there might be confusion with the wording of "clear" as an untinted product. The "clear" finish refers to the level of transparency of the product, not the color. A good example of this is how Jell-O is available in a variety of colors but is completely clear. There are other products on the market that are clear and colorless but will most likely not have UV protection included, as that is typically what gives a clear stain color. In any case, your customer satisfaction is important to us. Please reach out to us directly if you need further assistance; our Customer Care team is happy to help! -Lina Behr
              Looks great, but definitely not a clear finish.
              Although this product is labeled as a clear finish, it actually produced a beautiful caramel color on the pressure treated lumber we used for our deck. Really happy with the look and ease of application.

                Product looks great. I cleaned and sealed 2 decks which hadn’t been maintained for many years. Key is to clean wood thoroughly and apply 2 coats. We first rolled on, then back brushed, working a 3’x2’ area at a time.

                  We made sure to properly clean and prep our 2 year old fence and we are very pleased with the results, now water runs right off. I saw other reviews that said their fence came out too yellow, well it is yellow pine, but I think it is more of a golden hue. Looks like new!

                    NOT CLEAR AT ALL
                    This stuff foams like no tomorrow, it’s not clear, and it is still so sticky (it’s been drying for 3 days!). I’m a residential painter and I’ve used many different products for exterior clear sealer and this is NOT it. You’re better off ordering Spar Urethane in a water base. The false advertising with this product is absolutely ridiculous. I’m disappointed this is the orange result my clients got!

                      NOT CLEAR. Makes your wood YELLOW
                      This product is not clear. Unfortunately my husband picked out and purchased this product without me approving it and had already stained half the boards we were gonna use to put up a fence. Needless to say, I was LIVID. To see that the wood was yellow…. So infuriating especially when the product is marketed as “clear” It also was very runny. My husband used as directed and there still were tons of drips that we had to scrub after it had dried. This product is garbage.

                      Hi there, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that the color didn't turn out as expected and the stain was runny. I can understand your disappointment since the stain is marked clear and it turned your wood yellow. The stain does have a slight tint to help with UV protection.

                        Label says Clear but it is not
                        I asked the Home Depot associate which would be the best product to waterproof a painted wooden sign. He recommended this product. When I opened the can I was surprised to see that it is not clear, nor does it look transparent. I hoped that it would dry clear but it did not. My handpainted beach scene now has a beige tint to it. My handpainted white letters are now an off-white color. After spending two days to handpaint this sign, i am angry and disappointed in this product.

                        Hi Denise, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that the Waterproofing Wood Finish left your sign with a beige tint. Even though the product is clear, if does have a slight ting to help with UV protection. Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback.

                          I'd always used Spar Varnish or a Polyurethane for the redwood fence I built, but the local HD salesman suggested I try this product. Couldn't be happier. Love the lack of sheen and how the color darkened and got much richer in depth.
