Beautifully accentuates the wood project I put it in. Love the ease of application and future touchups.

Great product. Was able to apply with rolling. Various colors to choose from was also a factor for picking this product. Would recommend to anyone painting their fence or porch.

Not a Clear Stain
I'm only rating the color because that's what I bought it for. A cedar picket fence and I wanted to keep the natural color of the wood. This stain is YELLOW. in the can it's yellow, it sprays yellow, and dries yellow, not CLEAR. We gave it the benefit of the doubt hoping it would dry clear. The stain fluidity went on fine with a sprayer so i was happy about that. just don't be fooled by "clear." we are returning our 2nd can and will try and fix our problem.

Hello, thank you for your review. I'm very sorry to hear that the finish did not turn out as expected. The clear wood stains will have a slight tint to help with UV protection. If you do not want this finish, it will be best to remove the stain. We appreciate your feedback, and want to help. Please reach out to us directly so that our Customer Care team can assist. We look forward to hearing from you! -Giovanna Behr

    It didn't cover the amount of space as stated it said 5gals would easily cover my area, so I bought 6 gals and I'm about 2 gals short.

        No problem with my purchase or personal, but I do not like the military discount polices. My retired military ID and a phone number should be enough. I do not want to give copies or information to anyone from MY DD214. This is important and personal.

        Great stain/sealer
        Budget friendly compared to the competitors. 1 gallon goes a long way so be mindful of how much material you need. Beautiful solid color, just very very sticky.

          I followed the directions exactly. The outcome is nothing as described and pictured on the product page! The color is a very ugly yellow and orange, not at all what is shown in the product photos!!! I understand that some pigment might improve UV protection, but this seems to be false advertising when the product photos look like beautiful natural wood, and what the actual outcome is is unnatural ugly orange tone, nothing like the photos! This is terribly disappointing! Can this be removed?!

          Recently Used 8 gallons of this oil based sealer/stain to treat my new 3 board poplar farm fence we built this summer. The tint was exactly what we wanted to not stain the wood too dark or take away from the beauty of the poplar wood itself, the product gives the fence that "wet" look and brings out all the colors in the wood.

          Excellent SO FAR. It's only been three weeks since first application, and appearance is excellent. The grain shows through and makes the finish very attractive. However, will see what it looks like after the summer of 2024 ?
