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.

Would RecommendYears ago, I built a large wooden deck with treated wood and stained it with oil based stain, but within a few years an entire section exposed to the sprinkler system rotted, so I replaced it and stained that with Valspar stain. It has lasted so well that now that I have to replace the rest, I am using nothing but Valspar (4 gallons!) and the whole thing looks great.

Good product at a good price.
Would RecommendI have used this in the past and had good luck, hence my buying more. The colors are true to swatches. The color wears well and it will fade a little over time, so take that in condiserations when buying this prouduct
