Enhance exterior wood with lasting color and protection

Thompson's WaterSeal Transparent Waterproofing Wood Stain adds smooth, richly tinted color to outdoor surfaces while shielding them from water exposure. The finish hides the wood grain just enough to create a bold, even look, yet the wood texture remains visible for character. This combination of color and protection helps outdoor projects look refined from season to season.

Designed for real-world projects, it can be applied to damp or dry wood and works well on decks, fences, and siding. The formula uses advanced polymers that resist fading and UV damage, helping color stay vibrant through changing seasons. In practical terms, you may notice a cohesive finish that complements other outdoor elements while preserving the wood’s natural texture.

Key benefits at a glance

  • WATERPROOFING STAIN — Protects outdoor wood from moisture while delivering a uniform, tinted finish.
  • TRANSPARENT FINISH — Hides the grain while keeping texture visible for a natural look.
  • FADE RESISTANT COLOR — Polymer technology helps color stay true, even with sunlight exposure.
  • EASY TO APPLY — Suitable for refinishing existing projects or finishing new ones; can be used on damp wood after cleaning.
  • EXCEEDS INDUSTRY STANDARDS — Meets ASTM D-4446 for waterproofing wood, offering confidence in performance.

Usage tips and best practices

  • Prepare the surface by cleaning and removing debris; the stain accepts damp wood for convenience.
  • Apply evenly in the direction of the grain, using a brush or roller for a smooth finish.
  • Allow adequate dry time between coats as recommended for conditions and wood type.

Real-world uses and scenarios

Refinish a weathered deck to revive color and protection before summer barbecues. Refresh a backyard fence to reduce water damage and keep a cohesive look with existing siding. The natural cedar tone complements many outdoor color palettes while preserving the wood's texture.
