What Customers Are Saying
The product appears to have mixed reviews. On the positive side, many customers report the stain goes on easily, provides good coverage, and protects the wood well, especially on fences and pergolas. The color options are also praised. However, some customers found the stain to be more like a paint than a true penetrating stain, with poor adherence and issues like peeling, flaking, and uneven application. The color matching between different cans was also inconsistent for some buyers. Overall, the results may vary depending on the specific application and wood surface, and customers recommend carefully testing the product before committing to a large project.

Best stain/sealer for decks
Would RecommendValspar dries faster and can handle lower temps which worked out great because it got down to 38 degrees the night I applied

Not regretting it
Would RecommendI like the dark color and the level of transparency so I can still see the wood grain. It shows dirt and mud from my dogs as expected, but has been easy to clean with just a hose and push broom. I did a 24x12 ft deck and have about half left but still need to do the steps and a small 5x5 step up, so I am glad I got the 5 gallon.
