Cabot Stain - Our Favorite

Would Recommend

We have Cedar on our home; we only use Cabot Stain, as we’ve had great success with it - great coverage and durability; we only need to stain approximately every 15 years.

Super Stain

Would Recommend

I wanted a stain for the roof of my new large bird house. I was advised that Cabot was the best brand and sold at Lowe’s. I took a chance on Federal Blue and it is absolutely beautiful! I liked the half pint size as well as the depth of color and that it was a dream to apply even on cedar shingles!!
