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.

Useable for color and grain matching.

Would Recommend

The stain (white) was light enough that we were able to match the other furniture by applying coats and wiping with rag and then applying transparent finish coat. A minor learning curve but exactly matched nd holding up well.

What IS in the can?

Would Not Recommend

I was looking at a gallon of Australian Timber Oil to finish a cedar chair. I did not know anything about the product so buying a gallon seemed risky. I saw the smaller spray cans and a Lowes employee who was enthusiastically trying to help me answered my question when I asked if it was the same stuff in the can as in the gallon. He said "yes".

Military discount not honored for female vet

Would Recommend

The Product was fine. Store checkout staff was ok. I was unable to use my military discount because my maiden name on DD Form 214 does not match my driver’s license married name. At least that is what I think the problem is. I asked to talk to the manger, who was right there at check out, but was told he was busy. It was a busy day.
