What Customers Are Saying

The stain provides good coverage and a natural-looking finish, with many customers reporting it was easy to apply and dried quickly. The color was often described as rich and transparent, allowing the wood grain to show through. However, some customers reported issues with the tint or mixing, resulting in an undesirable color. There were also concerns about the stain's durability, with some customers reporting premature peeling or weathering, especially on decks. Overall, the stain may be a good choice for fences and pergolas, but customers should carefully inspect the color and expect more frequent reapplication on high-traffic areas.

Faded More Quickly than Expected

Would Recommend

Used this product about four years ago on my fence and it is now rather faded and in need of additional coats. I explained to get at least 7-8 years out of it.

Bought new wood picnic table at Lowes and got this stain sealer, went on nice and instructions stress ONE COAT. I felt like putting on another just cuz that's what I do, but didn't. Also used to polyurethan on top of that, but again, nope, we'll see how well this stain and sealer is! Not gonna lie, a little nervous due to I DID the vinegar step, followed everything to the T. Do love this chill color, so far so good! Fingers crossed!

Great Deck paint/stain

Would Recommend

Great paint/stain. I pressure wash and re-stain every two years. This is my third time using this product. It stands up very well to the elements, and it gets a pounding from the sun. Not to mention to debris that falls off the trees.
