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.

Would Not RecommendI ordered this for in store pickup as the app said it was in stock. I was later notified it was not in stock so it was switched to delivery. The delivery was fast but the stain had no color to it and was given the incorrect stain.

WHY does everything now have to be tinted?
Would RecommendWhy does everything now have to be tinted? The product itself was good, but just wanted to quickly run in and grab a small light colored stain for a craft project. Ended up waiting 20 minutes at the paint counter because everything (stain) now has to be tinted? Super inconvenient. Don't know when you stopped having already colored stain on your shelves - as it's been a few years since I've needed stain, but yeah - would suggest putting some on your shelves for a quick pick-up.
my can was the base only never mixed with toner
Would Recommendcolor looks good on my cedar fencing

Useable for color and grain matching.
Would RecommendThe stain (white) was light enough that we were able to match the other furniture by applying coats and wiping with rag and then applying transparent finish coat. A minor learning curve but exactly matched nd holding up well.
What IS in the can?
Would Not RecommendI was looking at a gallon of Australian Timber Oil to finish a cedar chair. I did not know anything about the product so buying a gallon seemed risky. I saw the smaller spray cans and a Lowes employee who was enthusiastically trying to help me answered my question when I asked if it was the same stuff in the can as in the gallon. He said "yes". I bought it an after I sprayed it on noted that it was forming a film like polyurethane. Then I read the fine print where is said that it is COLORED...

Military discount not honored for female vet
Would RecommendThe Product was fine. Store checkout staff was ok. I was unable to use my military discount because my maiden name on DD Form 214 does not match my driver’s license married name. At least that is what I think the problem is. I asked to talk to the manger, who was right there at check out, but was told he was busy. It was a busy day.
