Great stain!
Would RecommendThis stain is AWESOME! Stains and seals simultaneously. Recommend brushing as much as you can instead of rolling (leave sponge marks and the brush is much cleaner). Definitely use gloves because it's sticky on your skin.

Cordovan brown.
Went on my wooden deck easily, application seemed “forgiving” in that it spread evenly and absorbed into wood well. The semisolid color hid imperfections.

Great Protection
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using Cabot Semi-Solid Stain+ Sealer for over 10 years. I have been using the stain on my outside furniture. The furniture is made from non- treaded wood. I stain it every other year and still in good condition. During the winter I cover up all furniture until spring. One thing for sure is to put your furniture on pavers to keep the moisture from getting to the wood. With this stain it has saved my furniture.

Looks ok
Semi solid black was like thinned black ink painted on wood. It could look very uneven.

Application was very straightforward
Would RecommendI recently used the Tintable Neutral Base Semi-Transparent Exterior Wood Stain on my deck, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The application process was smooth and straightforward—the stain went on evenly without streaking or blotching, even on older wood surfaces. What really stood out to me was how well it enhanced the natural grain of the wood. Instead of covering it up, the semi-transparent finish brought out the texture and character beautifully while still adding a rich, customi...
