What Customers Are Saying

The Cabot semi-solid deck stain provides good coverage and allows the wood grain to show through. However, there are issues with the stain's durability, as many customers report peeling, fading, and discoloration within a year. Proper mixing and application are important to achieve an even finish, and multiple coats may be required. The stain's performance seems inconsistent, with some customers satisfied and others disappointed by its lack of longevity.

Great Product, Great Mgr., Great exchange policy.

Would Recommend

Price was a bit high, but the coverage for the stain is pretty good, so it all works out. I had to return the original stain because it was mixed too dark and had no issues with the exchange. The only issue that I had was nobody was in the paint department when I tried to return on a weeknight. Went during the day and talked to a manager who was very helpful. I have a fencing project coming up, so I hope to use the stain on that as well.

Great product for wood staining.

Would Recommend

This stain is the only one I use for my deck. I like that it can be tinted and I always choose the same color. It works well in my air paint gun and looks great when dry.

After the first coat, I already saw water bead up

Would Recommend

It is semi-transparent and matched a prior color well. Also, I knew Cabot to be a good product. I love the water clean up.
