What Customers Are Saying
The product provides excellent coverage and performance, with many customers reporting that only one coat was needed to achieve great results, even on older, weathered wood. The stain was described as easy to apply, durable, and able to withstand the elements. It was also noted that the product filled in cracks and crevices well, leaving a smooth, uniform finish. However, some customers experienced issues with the color not matching the sample, the stain peeling or discoloring prematurely, or the product arriving untinted. Additionally, a few found the stain to be thicker or more paint-like than expected.

Would RecommendNice coverage but doesn’t last as long as they claim. This was my second time painting my deck. The first time was 3 years ago. I did find that the railing tops and walking deck parts were most needy for re-painting but since I changed the color I was forced to paint everything. I am curious to see how long this application will last since there was already a base coat from the first time.

Less transparent than expected
Would RecommendWe bought the semi-transparent stain in Greige and applied to a new fence that had dried out for almost a year and was pressure washed a few days before applying. We had no issues with application using a sprayer other than the dry fence (6-7% moisture) took a lot of product. We got about 125 square ft per gallon so had to buy more than expected. The stain is also less transparent than expected but our fence did soak up a lot of product so that influenced the final look. Overall we are happy wit...

Stain
Would Not RecommendDon't order ahead to pickup. I picked up and they gave me white base without any stain. I even questioned pickup people why no color stickers on it. They stated stain already in. I drove home, preparing to add stain and it was clear, no brown stain as I suspected. I had to drive 30 minutes back to store to pick up correct product. I would never preorder again.

Beware ordering online
Would Not RecommendThey managed to deliver it un-tinted, which of course creates more hassle and time wasted than going into the store to do it yourself in the first place.
