Great sealant
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sealant works well! Easy to use and coverage was well taken, I did two coats and the drying time between each was pretty quick as it was dry and a little breeze outside. I like that it’s weather resistant

Good quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a good quality wood stain. However, it wasn’t in a color that I really liked. I prefer richer and darker colors in general so this missed the mark for me

Quick and painless projects
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is by far the best exterior wood stain to use for any and all wood projects. The odor is what you’d expect of any oil based product like this one but it does dry a lot quicker than other stains (if you’re doing light coats, too much of any stain will take ages to dry). The color is great and it’s relatively easy to apply.

Pretty good!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used on my in-laws backyard on their outdoor fence and other stuff on the backyard. Pretty easy to use, we did two coats and then let it sit. We haven’t encountered bad weather yet, but so far we bad a good experience. The smell is pretty “standard” and did not bother after overnight.

Quick drying!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really happy with the quality of this stain! I had an area of my fence that had some wear from our sprinklers and Natural Cedar was a perfect match to fix. It was easy to use and didn’t leave any streaking and dried down quickly.

Way to go
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So, I recently gave the Valspar Exterior Stain a go, and here’s my honest take. I’ve got a deck that was looking pretty worn, and after reading a bunch of reviews, I decided to give this stain a shot. Spoiler: It did not disappoint! First off, the coverage is fantastic. One coat was enough to bring out the natural beauty of the wood while still giving it a nice, rich color. I used a semi-transparent stain, and it did exactly what I hoped—enhan...

Drab to Sheik! 😊
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Testimonial: Power washed wall siding. After drying applied stain using a rag nap roller for rough surface. Stain applied pretty well no overlap marks. Color and stain area coverage is as advertised on can. Be careful loading the roller. When rolling don’t press down hard on roller. Has tendency for stain to run down the wall. Using a 4” brush stain splashes. Roller is best for large surfaces. Stain soaked in quickly that’s good. Applied to ...
