Molasses and honey….
I’ve never stained before but had some deck boards needing a refresh. Tried this and it was very sticky, very messy, and it went on like molasses and honey. The color was nice and I like the sheen. I’m very okay with the staining job I did. Only needed one coat. Used a good deck paintbrush. This is a great brand and good quality, just not what I expected for stain.
