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.

I have been a woodworker for over 40 years. This product cannot be applied satisfactorily with a brush. All it leaves behind is the stain where the brush marks are

Painful transaction

Would Not Recommend

Tried three times to order online using Google Chrome. Web page kept sending me to login page at checkout. Tried again using Safari. Was able to complete the transaction there. After all that, Lowe's sent me the wrong color stain.

Will not give Lowe's my business anymore.

Never got to see the stain. They never added the stain. I received a clear stain.The people I talked to were rude. If you check out as a guest you are not able to return, unless you bring to a store. I live over 200 miles there and back. Lowes is not worth buying from.
