What Customers Are Saying

The product has a semi-solid formula that allows the wood grain to show through. Many found it easy to apply with good coverage and color that lasted well, but some experienced issues with color not matching samples, the stain being too thin or transparent, and the product not lasting as long as expected, with peeling and fading occurring within a year. Overall, the product seems to be a quality option when applied correctly, but customers should be cautious about color matching and durability, especially on older or weathered wood.

Just buy it

Would Recommend

Never used a semi-solid stain and was worried this would be more like paint. It’s not at all. I am beyond impressed with the coverage of this stain especially on new wood. You only need one coat! Applied with the Cabot stain brush. The brush is just as fantastic. Time will tell on the wear. After trying many different stains and brands this will only be what I buy
