What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the smooth, even application and exceptional durability of this exterior oil-based stain. Most highlight rich, natural-looking colors like pecan and Dark Walnut that enhance wood grain beautifully, with many reporting the finish remains vibrant and crack-free after months of sun and rain exposure. Reviewers consistently note fast drying times allow multiple coats in one day, and the product's strong water resistance makes it ideal for decks and outdoor furniture.

It works well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It works well for outdoor projects. It’s durable and covers evenly, standing up to weather nicely. The drying time is a bit slow, but the results are worth it.

Bring old tables back to life!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have had this table for over 2 decades and it was in some need of TLC- when I got this stain I thought it would be the perfect product to give some life to the old table. I gave it a light sanding and removed build up and any light scratches. Applied the stain and it brought the table back to life! I was so excited to give it a try and I’m glad I did! It was fast to dry and took 2 good coats to give it its shine but I can’t wait to do my next p...

Smooth application and durable clean looking finis

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband has had several little wood projects and the stain hepled to seal the wood and give it a rich color. It was easy to apply and the finish was smooth seemed to soak deep into the wood for lasting protection. It would be a great purchase for almost any wood projects in the future.

Quality stain with beautiful color!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product free in exchange for an honest review through Influenster, and I am blown away by the quality and color. We do a lot of woodwork around the house and I’m picky about the colors of stain. This stain( dark walnut) is a beautiful shade of brown that I will use on many projects to come! It only took one coat and was dry after only an hour! It seemed to hold up in the rain, without using any extra protectant, but I’m sure the...

Goes on smoothly

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently had the opportunity to use Valspar Quick Deal Exterior Oil-Based Stain for a woodworking project on my deck, and I couldn't be more impressed with the results. **Application:** The stain went on smoothly and evenly. I used a high-quality brush, and the oil-based formula spread beautifully, allowing for easy application and a professional-looking finish. The 1-gallon can covered approximately 250-350 square feet, as advertised, an...

Quick dry

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently used Valspar Quick Seal Exterior Oil-Based Stain for my deck, and I’m really pleased with the results. The stain goes on smoothly and evenly, providing excellent coverage. It soaked into the wood nicely, highlighting the natural grain while offering solid protection against the elements. I also appreciate how quickly it dries, which made it easy to apply multiple coats in a single day. Even after heavy rain, the stain held up beautif...

Solid staining product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first opened the can I noticed how beautiful the stain color was! It’s even prettier on my wooden shelf I stained. It’s easy to use and the directions given on the can are very helping. I left it overnight on my porch and it was completely dry the next which was expected. The only downside to this is the strong smell. But that’s with almost any stain. This is definitely worth the money and a great staining product!

Good & Quick

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had to redo our fence because of a hurricane so this definitely came in handy! I feel like there’s a bit of a learning curve because in the beginning I didn’t get an even coverage but my application definitely got better as I went along.

Quick seal

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was used it for a deck paint. It does not soak into the wood as a stain will, goes on thick and will leave runs. Will take at least two full coats in high traffic areas and peels off the wood. It does repel and bead water, also dries quickly on deck and BRUSH. I properly sanded and cleaned the deck as recommended. Deck was totally dry when applied. The odor is very tolerable.

Beautiful wood stain

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am in love with this Valspar Exterior oil based wood stain. I applied this on my porch and the color looks beautiful. I applied several coats to get this beautiful dark color. I love that it is weather resistant so I know it will last for many years to come. I think it dries very quickly I applied it one coat at a time and a little goes a long way. I love the fact that you can adjust the color to your liking. If you prefer something lighter o...

Decent Wood Stain

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This oil stain is a good stain for our fence. I did test it but haven’t done the big project yet to do our fence. My husband will likely do that part but it did seem to apply well and is holding up so far.

Very Good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It seems to be very durable stain. The application process was easy, and it dried fairly quickly. It was a very natural color. It covered very evenly and smoothly. From what I can tell it seems to be very weather resistant as well.

Pretty good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I feel like this paint stain is pretty durable. We used it on the fence, but I don’t think that enough time has lapsed to give it a really really good review because it’s only been about 10 days. We had to wait due to weather issues, but after we put it on is still endured a lot of rain and seems to hold up pretty good. It came with a stirring stick so that was nice not to have to use a register stick or go buy something. The dry time didn’t se...

Wish We Had More!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Valspar Quick Seal Exterior Oil Based Stain is pretty awesome. I’ve never stained a fence before but my husband had experience. The smell reminded me of apple cider vinegar. It’s a slippery texture and it doesn’t stain your hands or arms if it does happen to get on your skin. It does, however, stain the wood. It’s spreads nicely if your brush is saturated well. It really gets into the wood and after 24 hours, you really see the actual resu...

Good for begginers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product in exchange for review. The valspar quick seal stain lives up to its name, but I don’t agree with the 2 hour coat dry time. It seems a little closer to 3 for a really good application. In a pinch it will work though. This is an oil based stain, so it applies fairly smoothly. It’s really forgiving for a beginner, unlike a poly stain. You do need to be careful and mindful of how you apply your coats. Pic attacked is my...
