Works great
This is more tinted than I thought it would be but works great. The rain beads up. The color is nice I just thought it would be more subtle.

Dear Amazon customers I've always preferred this brand. Although this order had to be canceled, I will always pursue this brand.

Just slight- is an overstatement
I always use Thompsons - it has kept my deck looking great for years. This time the wood was looking a little weathered, so vs using the Clear- I used the “transparent- with a slight color” Slight color is a stretch- it totally changed the color of the mahogany wood. So if you purchase this expect a good amount of color when applied. I wouldn’t buy this “transparent with a slight tint” again.

Overall happy
Easy to apply, dries fast. More color than expected for a transparent product. Ordered the chestnut brown.

Damaged in Transit
I've not been super thrilled with the product. It's pretty thick and has a lot of pigment (reddish orange) for a transparent stain. But, my real problem is the state that my 5 gallons arrived in. See pictures. Tracking tells me this item came via USPS from Graham NC to Roanoke VA. I've talked with Amazon before about a problem with a package from Graham NC and they said it is not their facility, but a USPS facility. I'm not sure why they would manhandle a package in this way. I've also had problems with the Graham facility and packages not arriving on the day promised. It's really getting bad. I'm wondering if this is happening to others.

Waste of Time, Effort and Money. A HUGE Disappointment.
Absolutely Horrible. What an incredible waste of time. I have used Thompson's Waterproofing before with good results in years past on other projects. I spent considerable time and effort doing my due diligence with my deck prep. I made sure that the deck was also bone dry (it had not rained for 5-6 days at least.) I spent hours, over multiple days, on my hands and knees brush coating my very large wrap around deck. Initially (and for several months) I was thrilled with my deck after application. (I also brush coated three different patio benches and my picnic table.) Everything looked great. I did everything in the early Fall, just before leaves started coming down. By Winters end, Everything (and I mean everything) from every piece that I had brush coated, looked as if they had never been treated at all. ALL looked like bare wood. Everything had chalked off and had to be leaf blown out of every knook and cranny. A HUGE waste of Time, Effort and Money. I would most assuredly NOT buy this product again. A Huge disappointment.

Fácil de aplicar
Lijé muy bien el piso con pulidora, apliqué con brocha y listo, queda mate, casi no cambia el color original de la madera cruda del deck, no queda pegajoso, seca rápido, se ve muy bien.

Not Transparent
Even though it says "Transparent" it is most definitely not. It will change the colour of what you apply it to! My return was approved on June 3rd and I mailed it back with your "return label" via UPS. I was then asked to review my survey. I cannot do this until I see me refund! It has been almost two weeks?

Don’t waste your money
Not even worth the one star. Went on beautiful but dried quickly making the second coat hard to do. I put on in the late summer, spring is here and it looks like crap. Peeled off looks almost washed off not good in low traffic or high traffic anywhere I do not recommend. See the pic for yourself. Surface was sanded clean and prepped before staining.
