What Customers Are Saying

The wood stain provides good coverage and color that matches expectations for some customers. It has a durable, semi-solid finish that protects the wood well.

Customers should test the stain on a small area and follow application instructions closely to achieve the best results.

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.
