I am restoring my deck. I already applied deck wash and pressure washed it..(boy what a difference that alone made).I have about 675 square feet to cover. Now it is time to apply a sealer. I have about 2 gallons of OLYMPIC Waterproofing sealant CLEAR..but I understand that better UV protection is obtained when some color is applied. . Can I add/mix Penofin penetrating oil finish (Brazilian rosewood oil) to the clear sealant that I have???

No you should never mix two different brands together.

so, it won't work? I know im dumb about the subject.. but my wallet is also getting skinny. Are you saying because they are of different "brands"? not to mix..? would it be ok to mix same brand sealant with a oil finish?

You cannot mix different brands and you cannot mix the same brand unless it is an identical series. For Example you can mix TWP 100 Series color together but you should not mix 1500 and 100 Series together.
