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.

After the first coat, I already saw water bead up

Would Recommend

It is semi-transparent and matched a prior color well. Also, I knew Cabot to be a good product. I love the water clean up.

This product brought the life back to my deck. It provided a sealant and shine to a once dull looking deck.

Great stuff!

Would Recommend

This paint went on great with one coat. It is transparent, so you can see the wood grain. Color matched the sample. Follow the instructions. Paint in the shade, it drys fast.

Easy to Apply. Covers well.

Would Recommend

Product was easy to apply and it was odor free. It could perhaps be a little thicker to avoid runs and drips, but, overall it had good coverage.

It went on easily and looks clise to the natural wood color while still offering the uv protection we wanted.
