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.

Buyer Beware…

Would Not Recommend

Purchased this product due to the color swatch provided by the manufacturer. Completed finish was no where close. Stain was stated as a “brown” tone, but finished tone ended up a “red” tone! Not what I was looking for. Will purchase another brand next time!

We always use this stain on the deck around pool

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It last longer than any other stain that we have used in the past. Chlorine is hard on anything & the Cabot stain holds up well on the deck, around the pool & hot tub.

Amazing coverage! Loved that I can still see the beauty of the wood grain. We chose New Cedar as our color.

Fine stain

Would Recommend

A bit on the red side, but good when mixed with another lighter stain. Applied well enough, but needed to be remixed often as it would separate.
