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.

Would RecommendCovers well and seals better. Be careful when choosing a color because I didn't realize how much more pollen would show on my deck in the spring, but that's not the products fault.

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.

Want to avoid rebuilding an entire wooden deck?
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
