          This is a fantastic product and very easy to apply. Clear instructions on the container and additional instructions for prep on the website. I had some questions after application of the product, and called the 800 number for the manufacturer. They were extremely helpful in guiding me to complete the project.

            Goes on easy with mini rollers, an HDX sprayer and a chip brush. No streaks, no fuss. A southern-facing side of my cedar fence (lot of sun, heat) is 3 years old, and it if beginning to show signs of needing another coat. The other sides are doing well. The color darkens with age and looks great. Very happy with color and finish. Pictures attached are the same section, cedar.

                  Really a great product! I've stained several decks with other products and I have been extremely pleased with the way Ready Seal self-levels and gives you a bit of wiggle room from worrying about overlapping edges. It smooths itself really well. The added bonus of being able to walk on it really soon after application is fabulous. The color has already soaked in and there's no worry about picking up color or transferring it to another surface. I sprayed the vertical surfaces of this project with a garden pump sprayer while another person rolled. This was only necessary because I wanted to make sure we didn't run out of product. I rolled the horizontal surfaces, the handrails and the spindles. Again, the stain flowed easily and I didn't have any issues with overlap marks at all! I will definitely use this product again.

                  Final product looked great. You really don’t need to back brush. However there is a lot of overspray to manage because the stain is so thin.

                  All in one semi transparent stain. Excellent coverage using brush. Been using on vertical fencing for over 10 years. I like the natural cedar color as it lets the beauty of the wood come through. This is a goof proof product
