It's been mentioned by Everett and James and I have heard before that the best of all world's is to apply a penetrating oil followed by a film former. A friend of mine John Hyatt, a true deck building craftsman is constantly telling me the way to seal is to build coats of TWP. Perhaps he has stumbled onto something. This guys has been around decks longer than most of us (25+ years) He swears to me that his decks hold up three and four years without needing recoating. I am guessing that by applying wet on dry he is forming a film on the surface. He constantly asks me to try it, he says he knows I will be a believer. Of course eventual stripping might be an issue but we have the chemicals to do it.
Check out his decks if you doubt the quality of his work.
