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.

Happy with Semi-transparent; only time will tell

Would Recommend

We purchased the semi transparent, and it was really easy to work with. The product leveled out and no brush marks. Could potentially get away with one coat but going to use two for longer durability. Great color and you can still see the wood green.

Great coverage and color

Would Recommend

I liked the coverage on an existing PT deck railing, previously stained with Cabot Semi-transparent. The Burnt Hickory color complements the new composite deck flooring that we have selected.

Made My Deck Natural Color Again

Would Recommend

Looks great on my deck rails. They are pressure treated and 1 year old. They were fading and I knew eventually would turn gray. I sprayed them with several cans and they look like natural wood again. Can't wait to see how it holds up over time.
