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.

They messed up my order. Delivered the stain untinted despite the bucket clearly saying “Must Be Tinted” and my ordering a specific color. And then when I called to have it corrected told me it would be five days before they could get it to me (I had already paid $79 to have it delivered) and that my only option was to make the hour and a half round trip to the store. Absolutely terrible experience.

Easy to use just tested a few pieces of fence to see if we liked the color. We will be buying a 5 gallon can of the stain and a paint gun

Arrived with no color

Would Not Recommend

I ordered this for in store pickup as the app said it was in stock. I was later notified it was not in stock so it was switched to delivery. The delivery was fast but the stain had no color to it and was given the incorrect stain.

WHY does everything now have to be tinted?

Would Recommend

Why does everything now have to be tinted? The product itself was good, but just wanted to quickly run in and grab a small light colored stain for a craft project. Ended up waiting 20 minutes at the paint counter because everything (stain) now has to be tinted? Super inconvenient. Don't know when you stopped having already colored stain on your shelves - as it's been a few years since I've needed stain, but yeah - would suggest putting some on your shelves for a quick pick-up.
