What Customers Are Saying
The stain provides good coverage and a natural-looking finish, but some customers reported issues with the tint or color not matching expectations. While the stain was generally easy to apply and dried quickly, there were concerns about its durability, with some customers experiencing peeling or premature weathering, especially on high-traffic areas like decks. Overall, the stain can be a suitable choice for protecting and enhancing the appearance of outdoor wood surfaces, but customers should ensure the correct tint is applied and be prepared for potential reapplication needs.

Works amazingly Recommended
The stain works amazingly! It is absorbed into the wood easily and it looks great afterwards. It doesn’t have a sting sell as other. This stain glides so smoothly and the end result will definitely amaze you. Doesn’t fade away after a year it really does work. It’s also easy to wash paint brushes afterwards.
