Ratings & Reviews for Valspar Quick Seal Pre-Tinted Dark Walnut Semi-transparent Exterior Wood ( 1-gallon )

It turned out great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this stain on my new mail box which my husband just made. I used a brush to apply this stain on it. The weather was quite warm so the stain dried fast enough for me to apply the second coat 30 minutes after I finished an area. Covers well, dries out pretty quickly and easy to clean up. The natural cedar color is rich and looks so good. Rain came about a week after I stained, and actually beaded on the cedar purgola! I recommend this stai...

Beautiful oil based seal and stain!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've recently had to replace a few panels of our wooden fence around our backyard after high winds damaged it. I used this oil based stain to both make it look beautiful AND seal the wood to protect it. It was very easy to use and did not run or drip much at all. I used the natural cedar color and it made my new panels look much brighter and really brought out the natural grain in the wood. It dried quickly and one can provided a lot of coverag...

Not semi-transparent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This deck stain did not penetrate the wood very well. It started forming a film on top of the wood. It also looked more opaque than expected, so it is not a semi-transparent stain.

Loved it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently used Valspar Quick Seal Exterior Oil-Based Stain in Natural Cedar, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. This product provides a rich, warm cedar tone that enhances the natural beauty of the wood. The application process was straightforward, with the oil-based formula soaking into the wood evenly, without any streaks or blotches. It dries quickly, making it perfect for outdoor projects that need to withstand the elements. ...

Beautiful color and has shine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this stain it is absolutely beautiful. I got the color dark walnut and it is absolutely gorgeous. I know the containers states it’s for exterior but I had a shelf that i bought off a friend that didn’t match my decor colors and I really wanted to stain it. I did not do anything to prep the shelf the only thing I did was wiped it down with cleaner before adding the strainer onto the shelf. I did about three coats and in betwee...

Great drying time

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Valspar quick seal base stain oil drying time was fast. I didn’t have to wait days for it to dry. It doesn’t have a strong smell. The overall coverage that it gives is really great. I will buy this to use.

Valspar Quick seal exterior pecan oil based

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this free complimentary from Influenster and Valspar Quick seal exterior oil based stain pecan. It is very durable since it's oil based. The drying time will be when it's ready. The odor is a little not too strong.

The best

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excited to stain my deck with this, this coming spring. I love the color. I may even stain my fence. Valspar is forever the only paint and stain I will use

Great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Has made my my porch looking much better than before. It gives that natural cedar look. It was easy to apply, doesn't smell too bad, and was quick to dry.

Beautiful natural brown results!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Here’s a little before and after picture of this Valspar quick seal exterior oil based stain that I received! We decided to test it out on our picnic table that has been weathered for quite some time and this was the results of using it straight out of the can, and didn’t pressure wash it before either. The color looks better then I expected, it’s probably a little darker with the weathered wood then using on new wood, but I really like it. My ...

Restores wood beautifully

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this on my stairs and fence. Easy application by roller and brush. Seems to be a very tough stain- resistant to weather. So far, so good. It was easy to apply and covered. This stuff is amazing. I have never stained wood before believe it or not, and I have no experience using a product like this before and I am thoroughly impressed with the outcome, works great, great sealer and stain, reasonable, recommended.

Perfect

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just stained our deck with this! It exceeded my expectations. A little goes a long way. Dries quickly and covers nicely. We love it and can’t wait to find it in store to do our fence.

Must have

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this while out and about looking for new decor for our outdoor patio that we just built! Had no idea that a top coat of valspar quick seal oil based satin would make any difference but turned out amazing! Love the color! Drys super fast! Highly recommended super easy to apply

Best Quality Stains!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Valspar has the best stain on the market! The application process is easy and the drying time is super fast. Weather resistant and very durable!

Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really like this stuff!!! A little goes a long way. Nice coverage. Application was really simple. Does have an odor, but not overwhelming. Love the pecan color, it's really pretty. Definitely recommend trying this product

Quick drying, great coverage!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a great wood stain and is so easy to use for any diy projects you have!! Dries quickly, no strong odors and coverage was great! I did 2 coats and it worked out perfectly!

Worked

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Seems concentrated. Lots of pigment. Goes on very dark, even when wiping excess immediately instead of waiting up to 5 minutes. If you don’t want the wood to absorb that much, I recommend using this brand’s pre-stain wood conditioner. Absorption likely depends on the wood, also. One of the 5 colors looked like a return. Lock clips were missing from top of can. That one came sealed in a plastic bag, and there were dried stains around the lid. Al...

Look nice on wood

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used this wood stain before but in a different color and it made my wood fence look really nice. I’ll be using this color on my wood deck. It has no odor and it dries very quickly

Beautiful Results

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this stain in the past for my back deck. We are currently about to redo it so I am super stoked I get to keep the pecan look that I love. This really does a great job at sealing the wood from outdoor climates
