Good but need multiple layers
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is easy to apply and durable, providing good protection against water and foot traffic, though it usually requires more than one coat for consistent coverage. While it offers a cost-effective solution, it may need frequent reapplication to maintain its appearance and protection.

Best stain we have used!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received this Valspar Quick Seal stain in exchange for my honest review. We used this one our fence and it was super easy to apply, and has so far provided great protection against the elements. Unlike other stains I felt like it wasn’t necessary to have to go over the same spots over and over again. Dries fast, and looks great. Highly recommend this product!

Good color
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the color of this stain. It goes on evenly and is easy to work with. Just the first coat was a nice darker color that you can deepen with reapplication. A little goes as long way, so you can get a lot of use one can. Will definitely be getting more in different shades for my projects.

Best stain out there!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A nice butterfly landed on my front porch as soon as I finished painting! I’ve been staining porches ever since I was little and my family has always used this stain! The coverage is great and gives you the color they promise! Drying time isn’t long at all just depends on what time of day you do it.

Valspar Quick Seal Exterior Oil-Based Stain
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this product! I have used this product on numerous outdoor projects. It goes on truly streak free. It soaks into the wood like a stain/ sealant should, and the color is beautiful! Water beads on the wood. Most stains I have purchased is more like a surface paint that peels off after some time. Not this product. This is old school the way it use to be made.

Ease of application
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am constantly impressed by Valspar products. I've used their products before, but this was probably the most dramatic transformation we've had to date. I have a beautiful front door and two side panels that have become weathered over the years. I wanted to re-stain and seal them so I needed to sand them down for preparation. The application is easy and straightforward - you just brush it on then wipe it off until desired color is achieved. ...
