What Customers Are Saying
The semi-transparent stain appears to have mixed results. Many customers reported positive experiences, noting it went on easily, provided good coverage and color, and offered lasting protection. However, some were disappointed, finding it more like a paint that did not properly soak into the wood, leading to peeling or wearing off quickly. Careful preparation and following instructions closely seem important for best results.

Great product
Would RecommendI bought this product for my pine privacy fence. I wanted it to match my spruce privacy fence that came already cedar color treated, and which I used the Transparent stain overtop. The pine was not treated, and a much lighter wood. Therefore, I used the additional cedar color in the semi-transparent matched the other fencing.

Keeps water out
Would RecommendPerfect size for small projects such as porch chairs. I used it tinted with November Gray for a small bench that is partially out in the open, and when it rained the water beaded and wiped off easily.
