What Customers Are Saying

The Cabot Solid Color Decking Stain has received mixed reviews. While some customers were satisfied with the application, coverage, and appearance, many reported issues with peeling, cracking, and poor durability, especially on older or weathered wood. The stain seems to perform better on newer or well-maintained surfaces, but may require reapplication within a year. Some customers also experienced inconsistencies in color between batches. Overall, the stain does not appear to be a reliable long-term solution for protecting outdoor wood surfaces.

Cabot wood stain Australian Tree Oil Honey Teak

Would Recommend

I saw this on a friends fence and really liked the way it looked. My next door neighbor just installed a new fence between our properties and I told him I would pay to stain his fence. I got the part facing the road done and it really looks great. Most people put up new fences that look nice but they dont stain them so in about a year they start looking old and they actually deteriorate much faster without the protection that stain affords them

[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.

Covers and protects well

Would Recommend

I used a paint sprayer to put this on my deck and it has turned out beautiful. Very impressed by the cabinet Australian oil. It's water resistance is tremendous and I feel that will last on my deck for a while.

Best Cabot product ever

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I built a lake dock with drop in cedar panels. To get a good redwood color I painted the cedar planks with Cabot acrylic soli stain and sealer. What a home run. The panels are beautiful and most importantly my wife is ecstatic with the finish. The coverage was very good and it very easy to do. At age 80. Could not be happier. The acrylic had no VOC or odor. What a fine product. Looks better than my neighbors docks who used trex.

Easy Peasy Deck Sealer

Would Recommend

Liked this product- sprayed on easily and cleaned up easily with mineral spirits. Time will tell if it beats the other brand of deck sealer I’ve been using.
