                Product applies well via an air sprayer, good coverage and strong uniformity when applying in two coats. Quick to recoat. A few months in and holding up well.

                This sealer works great. We have used it several times on our cottage decks and picnic table and they always looks like new and stay that way for a few years. Wish the oil based version was easier to find though.
                by
                I love the color and it brushed on easily. We used the same product and color several years ago and my deck gets full sun all day. We are refreshing the look as you can see from the picture.
                by
                Coverage was good but it is not really a clear stain, it does have a slight tint to it. Almost returned it but read other reviews that also said it had a tint so took a chance. Wanted the planter to be clear so It would contrast with fence. Pics are raw cedar before and after.

                  We loved this product. We were worried about the stain leaving a shinny film, but it turned out beautiful! It has rained since applying it and it is very water resistant.
