The only downfall I can say is the stain took about 2 days to dry in certain areas. Other than that, came out great.

I applied this stain/sealer to PT lumbers used as kick board and cap rail for a newly built cedar privacy fence. It makes those pieces blend in with adjacent cedar pickets. Hopefully it will last a while in terms of color.

Terrible Clumped and Tacky
Sprayed out in orange globs. I should have just tried to wipe it off when it was still wet. Now a week later is it still tacky and I tried to sand and fear I may have ruined my antique wood table. I now don’t know how to get this stuff off.

Does Not Spray!!!
I bought a can of this, followed the instructions, shook it well, sprayed for about 3 seconds, then nothing. I figured, defective can, o well. But having one big swipe of red across my piece, figured I would go get another can and try again to keep it consistent. Second can, same thing. If you pull out the nozzle, push it back in slightly sideways and twisting, it sort of almost works for about a half second. If you remove the nozzle and push in with a nail, it discharges fine. This is a nozzle design flaw. It appears to be pinching off the inner discharge port when you push down on the can nozzle. I managed to get two sides of four sprayed before throwing the can across the yard. I'm going to sand this stuff off and buy another brand.

Olympic Water Guard
It is more orange than I expected. But the product works very well. I saw some complaints sbout it taking a while to dry. You dont have to cake it on. Go light and give that first coat 20 minutes to dry. You don’t have to go so heavy. Come back and add another coat as needed.

My wife and I really like the color. We used it on the trim of a wood shed we have and liked it so well that we stained our pergola on our patio and our 6 log lamp posts on our driveway. Gives a rich wooden color to your wood. Some people’s reviews said it was too orange but everything we stained hasn’t appeared nothing but a cedar color to it.
