Deck Sealing and Staining Tips Thompson’s WaterSeal products typically need only one application, but you can apply a second coat of stain to darken the wood, if desired.

Absolutely not. There’s an adhesive quality to just about any sealant, and moisture is going to kill it. You have to get the moisture content down to 9% or lower. When wood is freshly chopped down, it’s considered to have a 100% moisture content, and it takes seasons (sometimes a full year) to dry it out properly.
DO use proper tools and technique for sealing a deck. Overly thick sealant is prone to peeling and chipping, so avoid oversaturating the surface by applying only one coat of sealant at a time. In most cases, all you’ll need is one coat, but should you wish to apply a second coat, wait at least 24 hours. [links]
