Hi and Happy Holidays,

I have a 5 gal can of Thomson's Water Seal that is at least
15 years old. Is it still usable or should I get a new can?

I would just replace it but getting rid of the stuff nowadays is
such a pain in the neck.

Thanks,
Gary

If it is not thickened, it is still good. OTOH, it was not the best water
sealer to start with.

The last one In retrospect dumping the salt OUT OF the bags into wheel
barrow ( clean) spreading around the pool with shovel might of been a better
idea, to bad I didn't think of that.

It's just petroleum wax dissolved in mineral spirits. If it hasn't gotten
gummy, should be fine. Not that it's worth the effort to grease your
decks.

As they said the stuff is almost worthless when new.
But it may be easier to dispose of by smearing on your deck than any
other way.
