Thompsons water seal

Trying to calculate how much to buy. About 1800 sq ft of cedar fence. Planning to use pump up sprayer. Anybody done this lately with tips or suggestions?

I Want to say I used roughly 8-9 gallons on 105 linear feet.

5 gal covers 1500 sq ft. Depends on how heavy you spray it.

Thanks. Did you brush it after spraying?

I would spray. That’s just me, I hate to brush. Go to their website and check it out, good info.

FWIW.........I have not had good luck with Thompsons. Doesn't last more than 1 year on my dock.

I would recommend this product.

Thompsons is.garbage. Behr stain/ sealer is.about the best there is. Its.costly but worth it.

With a sprayer your coverage rate will drop dramatically compared to brushing, but you will save a ton of time. I just did my deck and had to buy double the coverage rate.

A pump up sprayer is going to use a lot of stain. An airless sprayer is the way to go if you can borrow one or rent one. The one I have has a 24 inch extension and hold a 5 gallon bucket to roll around. If you were closer I would let you use mine.

I second this suggestion. I used a pump sprayer and brushed in the second coat after spraying it only where needed to even it all out. Its been about a year and half and my fence still looks like day 1.
