What Customers Are Saying

The Cabot exterior wood stain and sealer is generally a high-quality product that provides good coverage, color, and protection for various wood surfaces. Many customers reported the stain went on smoothly, dried quickly, and maintained its color well over time. However, some users had difficulty achieving the desired color match or experienced the stain drying darker or fading prematurely. The application process was also challenging for some, especially when using a brush. With proper preparation and technique, this stain can provide an attractive, long-lasting finish.

Water repelled and surface beading after one coat. Used on unprotected mountain cabin steps (steps overdo), product readily absorbed. Rain next day did not appear to penetrate. Does not leave slick or slippery surface.

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.
