Yesterday a contractor sanded my front porch (all Pine), it looked great. then
he began to apply Thompsons water seal. before he was totally done he ran out
of the sealant. went to the store and bought a new can of it, when he applied
it to the remainder of the porch, there is a notable difference in the color
of the old and the new can, pretty much ruiing the entire overall look. What
can be done?

Wait? In a year it'll be gone (well, it'll probably still muck up a
real coating). Thompson's is the *last* thing I'd use on a deck (or
anything else, for that matter).

Have him resand and reseal. His problem. I would advise him to buy
enough to begin with and mix the containers together if it requires more
than one.

I agree. Whoever the marketing guy is who was in charge of promoting
that stuff deserves every penny he makes.
He's probably the same guy who convinced every food and drink maker on
earth to put cranberries in absolutely everything. :-)
