What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the stain for excellent coverage, smooth application, and beautiful enhancement of natural wood grain. Many note one coat fully covers deck boards and fences without streaks, while others highlight how it spreads evenly with brushes or rollers and dries quickly. The semi-transparent finish delivers accurate color results on cedar and other woods, with reviewers delighted by how it complements existing tones. Several report previous applications lasting two years or more. A few mention color mismatches tied to store tinting errors or note thicker viscosity than expected. Overall, most customers consider it reliable and worth the investment.

This is a good quality stain

Would Recommend

This is good quality stain. I’ve tried other brands and they’re good but this one is just slightly better and I’m going to use this as I finish my entire fence and deck. I would recommend this.

Buyer Beware…

Would Not Recommend

Purchased this product due to the color swatch provided by the manufacturer. Completed finish was no where close. Stain was stated as a “brown” tone, but finished tone ended up a “red” tone! Not what I was looking for. Will purchase another brand next time!
