What Customers Are Saying

The Cabot solid exterior wood stain appears to be a high-quality product that offers good coverage and protection for outdoor surfaces. Many customers reported the stain went on smoothly, covered well in one or two coats, and provided a durable, long-lasting finish that resisted the elements. The color selection was also praised. However, some customers received the wrong color or an unstained base that required tinting, and a few found the stain more like a paint than a true stain, not performing as expected on high-traffic areas. The high price was also noted as a downside by some.

Super Stain

Would Recommend

I wanted a stain for the roof of my new large bird house. I was advised that Cabot was the best brand and sold at Lowe’s. I took a chance on Federal Blue and it is absolutely beautiful! I liked the half pint size as well as the depth of color and that it was a dream to apply even on cedar shingles!!
