Ratings & Reviews for Cabot Tintable Neutral Base Solid Exterior Wood Stain and Sealer in One ( Half-pint )
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
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.

Would RecommendThe Cabot paint worked good. This is my last purchase with Lowes. I will this product from another dealer. Lowes has turned into garbage. No wonder they are selling clothes and die cast cars.

Don't waste your money!
Would Not RecommendWe spent hours - actually days- prepping and painting a handicap ramp with this product. Painted it in Sept 2025 in gray and it looked great. Here it is March 2026 and it's peeling and wearing off. We did not put any kind of salt on it nor did we use a shovel or any kind of tool on it actually no wheelchair or anything on it. All that work and it looks terrible. Garbage product.

Don’t use it.
Would Not RecommendBegan scraping off after only three days, just because dogs walked across it! Very unhappy with its lack of durability. Plus, It was time consuming brushing on three gallons. Expensive waste of money as well…..😔

Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried other stains. A builder told me about Cabot. I have never used anything else for any of my building projects decks, etc. that I’ve had and built.
