What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this deck stain for exceptional coverage, ease of application, and proven long-term durability. Most highlight full, even coverage with a single coat, smooth application with brush or roller, and quick drying. Many reviewers have used it for decades, noting it deeply penetrates wood and maintains color and protection over time. Water-based cleanup adds convenience. Color options deliver rich, natural tones, though some find actual shades darker than samples. While several acknowledge the higher price point, most consider the quality and lasting performance well worth the investment and consistently recommend it to others.

Pecan “color” it is so lightly pigmented that you cannot even see it, at least on both pine and oak. I did half of a pine door and the only way to tell the difference was to feel for the raised grain. Just a heads up regarding the color.

After the first coat, I already saw water bead up
Would RecommendIt is semi-transparent and matched a prior color well. Also, I knew Cabot to be a good product. I love the water clean up.

Great stuff!
Would RecommendThis paint went on great with one coat. It is transparent, so you can see the wood grain. Color matched the sample. Follow the instructions. Paint in the shade, it drys fast.
