What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the stain for exceptional color quality, easy application, and quick drying time. Reviewers consistently highlight rich, true-to-bottle hues with outstanding one-coat coverage that enhances wood grain beautifully. The smooth, gel-like consistency applies evenly for both beginners and experienced users, drying faster than comparable products. Many appreciate the milder odor compared to traditional stains, enabling comfortable work in enclosed spaces. A few note the opacity can mute grain detail or mention thickness challenges, but most consider the professional finish and reliable performance well worth using.

Would Not RecommendAbsolute joke of a product. Guessing the reason it is thick is due to issues with being able to tint it with paint tints. Did cover well when applied but no matter how long it’s left on, 5 minutes or an hour, all but a very tiny amount wipes off even when used on super soft wood. Could barely tell I had put it on except a little bit in the grain. Definitely not the product you need if trying to use a color unavailable in the regular stains.

Easy to apply and provides great coverage.

Not satisfied
Would Not RecommendI don’t like it. I can’t do my custom matches because they don’t match and it’s too thick. I like the regular performance series way hundred percent better.
