The Cabot wood stain is generally well-received, with customers reporting good coverage, color options, and ease of application. The stain was described as going on smoothly and drying quickly, allowing the wood grain to show through. However, some customers experienced issues with color matching or consistency, and a few noted the stain seemed thin or required multiple coats. A small number also reported the stain did not last as long as expected, with some experiencing peeling or fading within a year.

Would RecommendPrice 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 RecommendThis 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.

Easy to Apply. Covers well.
Would RecommendProduct was easy to apply and it was odor free. It could perhaps be a little thicker to avoid runs and drips, but, overall it had good coverage.

Not as ordered
Would Not RecommendOrdered tinted stain, didn't realize until I got home and opened it up that what I received was only the neutral base (not tinted). the store did not add the tint to it to make the color I ordered. This is frustration on several points: 1) the store is 40 miles round trip from my home, will have to make another trip so I'll have traveled 80 miles for this $5 sample 2) Will have taken 1-1/2 hours of my time 3) Was planning to check out sample so if good I could pick up full qty required for my p...
