Customer Reviews for Ready Seal 5 gal. Natural Cedar Exterior Wood Stain and Sealer

Truly like it says "it's goof proof." Great Color and natural sealer. I would recommend this product.

Don't buy anything else, this stuff is great. I put it on with a roller and it takes time, time but it's worth it. You won't regret buying Ready Seal.

Great product!

I finally found the right stain! I had previously stained a new deck (after aging for 9 months) that sits in full sun all day long with Olympic’s top stain. Within 6 months it was starting to peel/chip and within 17 months it was a complete disaster. After power washing to remove most of the remaining stain and then sanding the entire deck, I was determined not to be doing it again in less than 2 years. After searching multiple websites and reading hundreds of reviews, I decided to give Ready Seal a try. What a positive difference. The stain was extremely simple to apply and very forgiving, no wet on wet application required. You could literally see the stain soak in so you know it penetrated...should solve the peeling stain dilemma. I applied 2 coats using a brush for most areas and a pad for the floor boards. As the reviews stated, the color of the deck has lightened over the first couple of weeks. It looks phenomenal, my next door neighbor has already asked what I used because he now wants to use it. My initial review of this product is all very positive. I would buy it again without hesitation. The only unanswered question at this point is how it wears. Now if we could only get Home Depot to stock it so you don’t have to special order it.

Great long lasting natural cedar color. Looks beautiful! Converted from Penofin thank you very much! Picture denotes new fence going in, in front of old graying fence. Makes the lattice stand out nicely!

This looked amazing when I put it on my cedar fence. I have no idea how long it will last but so far so good.

so easy to apply. 240 ft of board on board fence. lots of nooks and crannies so i wanted to brush on the first coat. no worries about runs or drips - it all blends eavenly. this allowed me to finish the fence in 2 days by hand! it would have been a nightmare w other products. natural cedar provides beautiful rich color. another huge bonus - do not have to sand when wanting to reaply. simply wash off dirt, let dry, and reapply. i literally bought 11 gallons of other stain. was willing to take the loss and not use that after hearing all the reviews for ready seal. what led me to this product in first place was the two contractors who were going to charge me K's to stain fence - all recommended Ready Seal!!!

Needed more to finish the job and did not have it on the Shelf so no I do not recommend it next time I'll buy off the shelf

Great product. This wood stain/sealer is very easy to use and makes the finished project look great.

beautiful color goes a long way. Water beads off. Soaks in fairly quick.

It took my fence to another level. I am pleased!the

Going on well, not finished yet. .happy so far with look and application ease. We will see how it holds up

Looks good applied it yesterday

Looks great and VERY easy to apply. Very forgiving and no sign of overlap when stopping and picking up later. Amazing to watch the wood pull that first coat in like a sponge!!

The product was very easy to apply. The natural cedartone was the perfect color to enhance our new cedar privacy fence.

Using the stain to re-color my cedar fence. It's doing a great job! The fence was pretty faded after 3 years.

It is recommended that it be sprayed on. Goes on easy, dries within a day and leaves a beautiful finish. I was really impressed with it. Now to see if it lasts as long as it says since it is my first time using the product.

Very easy to apply on privacy fence. Used both roller, pump sprayer, and Graco airless sprayer. Great product!!!

Pressure washed the fence (inside & out), First! > (The Fence was about 7 months old from first being installed). > Then applied the Ready Seal which worked Great!

Easy to use. Covers well. Decent price.

The ready seal went on easy and the results were excellent. I used the natural cedar and gave my fence a nice dark cedar look. I recommend this product.

Really nice look to my fence. I pressure washed it first to get that new look. I used a roller and brush to get all the nooks and crannies. Really turned out nice. These pictures are showing about 10 days after application.

Beautiful Color and Easy to Use. Works as Advertized.

Spent a lot of time searching for an oil based sealer that would be easy to reapply, would penetrate the wood instead of forming a film, and didn't have illegal levels of VOC content. (I was originally looking at TWP 100, but it was illegal in my state!) So far (after about 6 months) I am 100% happy with this stuff. It is easy to apply, doesn't dry up (I left some outside in a paint tray over the winter and it was still usable in the spring), and looks great. I used it on cedar siding on my tiny house. Awesome.

Easy to use, no mess, looks great on cedar and treated wood too!

Easy to apply,loved the free shipping.Hope it holds up.

Easy to apply, sets quickly, looks great. Make sure to put towels/sheets or something underneath the fence to catch any run-off or seal sprayed onto the ground as it kills grass.

easy to great product

Treated Pine Deck, 4 years old (Ohio). Great product that goes on as stated. It was relatively easy with no mistakes. I had a semi-transparent stain on my deck for about 4 years. I needed to replace since it was pealing bad. I read the reviews and decided to give Ready Seal a try. Glad I did. I stripped the old stain to remove it. I applied the Ready Seal. It went on easy and quick. The color is as described. I also stained some rough cut treated fence boards. The color seems to be richer and deeper on rough cut wood. I really like the look and color on Deck and Fence. I hope to never "strip" my deck again.

The stain and sealer applied nice. It looks great and beads off water. I am very happy with this product. Only thing is id recommend getting more than you think you need ,dry wood absorbs a lot and you cant get this in the stores around me anyway. It has to be ordered online..you dont want to run out on your second coat, and no stores around to get more.
