What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the stain for its ease of application, smooth coverage, and ability to enhance natural wood grain while keeping texture visible. Most note one coat provides full coverage with even finish and minimal product waste. The semi-transparent finish receives consistent acclaim for its rich, authentic appearance. However, a notable group reports color discrepancies—appearing lighter or more yellow than online samples suggested. Despite this concern, many find the durable finish worth the investment, with reviewers reporting it withstands weather and UV exposure well over time. Overall, most customers recommend it despite color accuracy issues.

Happy with Semi-transparent; only time will tell
Would RecommendWe purchased the semi transparent, and it was really easy to work with. The product leveled out and no brush marks. Could potentially get away with one coat but going to use two for longer durability. Great color and you can still see the wood green.

Made My Deck Natural Color Again
Would RecommendLooks great on my deck rails. They are pressure treated and 1 year old. They were fading and I knew eventually would turn gray. I sprayed them with several cans and they look like natural wood again. Can't wait to see how it holds up over time.
