Ratings & Reviews for Cabot Tintable Neutral Base Solid Exterior Wood Stain and Sealer in One ( 1-quart )

Mixed reviews but better than the rest.

I have mixed reviews about this product typically last about 2 years I live on the top of the mountain lately over the last few years we've gotten a lot more rain than we typically do. I applied terracotta color the first time and while it's held up for over 3 years on the vertical surfaces on the horizontal services it has flaked and peeled so this year I've repainted the entire deck White and I'm probing again to get at least three to four years out of the horizontal surfaces and just have to...

Best product we have used!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cabot paint and stains are our go-to brand when we do our deck restorations through our company ( Deck Services of Wisconsin) the most popular deck stain colors that our customers choose are #1880 redwood, pewter grey, or bonfire. This product is so good that we can actually offer our customers a warranty on their deck restoration services. Here are just a few decks we restored this year around Wisconsin!

Love Cabot Stain

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved the oil based stain, but living in New York, the ban on oil base leaves me disappointed. Hopefully the water base will hold up. I repainted by two story 36' x 70' barn this summer. Time will tell.

Perfect coverage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this product to stain a pool and patio deck, it was so easy to apply and had superior coverage, one coat coverage made it very cost efficient and the customer was over the moon with the results, thanks

Worked great on my wood playset

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this stuff. Really great coverage and applied very easily.

Unbelievable!

We had been using other products before today. Let me tell you, this is THE BEST product we’ve ever used! We are paint and stain snobs. We only buy the very best because it’s worth it. I took a chance after having inferior staining projects. We can’t BELIEVE how nice this is. Color is perfect, coverage is perfect in one coat, it’s nice and thick with no dripping, it’s drying just as beautifully as it went on. We will never use another product! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Peeling Problem

I used this on 3 different deck's of various ages 1 year, 5-6 years and 10 yrs. It peeled on all three. My neighbor also used it and has same problem.

Don't spend $$$ before sampling!

I was so excited to get my deck looking good. Followed all guidelines of sanding, filling in spots where needed, replacing boards, washing, and finally painting. The first day was so exciting! It was a great new look for my deck....BUT any leaves that blew onto the deck, or dirt from foot traffic, quickly became stains. Scuffs came quicker than expected, and the color, which matched another sample I had, did NOT end up matching at all. Very disappointed. Sad that my hard earned money has b...

Great Product!

I painted my 30-year old deck with the 1800 series 4 years ago and it still looks great. I had always used oil-based stain in the past but learned the new oil-based products for refinishing weren't as good or being phased out. I was hesitant with this product first because it seemed more like paint and second because Cabot advised I first prime, then 2 coats of this stain. Well, it was worth it. The deck still looks great. In the past if I went 4 years between staining, the deck looked awfu...

Great Deck Solid Stain

Bought two gallons to refinish an old deck and this has brought it back to life

Should be 0 stars

very shameful how this product is described and advertised. 3 weeks after application it is peeling. 1 year old deck dried completely for 3 days. Applied in nondirect sunlight. 70 degree day no humidity. Now i have 950 square feet of deck that needs stripping and redone with something other than this product. Wood deck had no prior treatment and was properly cleaned and prepared.
