If you're planning on using Thompson's Water Seal to protect your deck or outdoor furniture, you might be wondering how many coats you need to apply. The short answer is that it depends on the product you're using and the surface you're treating.
For example, if you're using the Original Waterproofing Stain, one coat is typically all that's needed. But if you're using the Heavy Duty Wood Protector, two coats are usually recommended.
As for surfaces, smooth surfaces like decks and tables generally only require one coat of any of the Thompson's Water Seal products. But rougher surfaces like brick or stone may need two coats for adequate protection.
So there's no definitive answer to how many coats of Thompson's Water Seal you'll need. It all depends on the product and surface in question. But in general, one to two coats should be sufficient for most applications.
