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.

Great product

Would Recommend

This oil-base stain is very effective in protecting my wood deck. I previously tried a water-base "stain" from a different manufacturer and that was a complete fiasco. The water-base product did not penetrate the wood at all -- it should have been called paint. The Cabot product does penetrate the wood. It protects the wood better and for a much longer period of time and looks better than the water-base product.
