[QUOTE="maintenanceguy, post: 464933, member: 24227"] I'm not sure you need to waterproof it. It will spend most of it's life out of the water and the little bit of water that gets on it will dry quickly. But, if I was going to waterproof it, I wouldn't use Thompson's. Thompson's has parafin wax to make water bead up. That was also makes it penetrate poorly. Smart marketing because it makes it look like it's working when the water beads up in the rain. Around here, we have a product called CWF Flood stain that penetrates very well. It will last longer than Thompson's. [/QUOTE]
