Any old or new plastic hand sprayer like those gardeners use and household cleaners come in
Not best to breath mist so a cheap dust mask will suffice....

I thought Thompsons water seal was for bricks

Same difference stops the porosity by plugging the gaps with a silicone that is left behind when the carrier evaporates... (I think??)
Anyway its tried and tested by me with great results
Top tip, wear gloves and pour what you don`t spray back into the can
