I have come to the conclusion that Thompsons water seal isn't as good as they say it is. I built a new cedar deck and covered it in Thompsons water seal...the next year it was totally faded...I then bought the "new and improved" Thompsons stuff last year with the "Added UV protection" and paid more. This spring it is just as faded and I see that water does not bead on the wood...it soaks in...so I have to apply the stuff again. Can anybody reccomend a brand of deck sealer with UV protection that will LAST and have my cedar hold its lustre? Thank-you. Jim
