Would RecommendDid not work for me. Hoped to use solid Simple Cedar color to enhance Cedar Naturaltone semi-transparent stain, but colors were different.

Excellent product
Would RecommendEasy to apply. Drive quickly enough in case of rain it's not set of course but it's dry enough not to get damaged and cleans up easily. Been using Valspar staying for years and very happy with it.

Use it on unpainted wood
Would RecommendWe've used 10 gallons of it on an old home that had not received paint in many decades. Yes, it was sucked into the wood, but not nearly as badly as expected. Cedar shingles and siding absorb more than pine and spruce. I am a believer in pigmented stain but can only use it where there is virtually no paint remaining. I know there will be no flaking, chipping or chalking in future years.

Love Valspar don't love the name changed
Would Not RecommendThe color closely matches what I was looking for. I cannot find the number to the original stain color. It was called "Lincoln's Cottege Black. It irritates me that Valspar changes the name but not the number and now that Lowe's has changed how we access our information I lost all of my paint and stain colors from years ago.
