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

I have used many different stains and sealers on many different types of wood on many different decks and fences and I have to say this is the easiest product to work with. The product brushes and sprays very easy and there truly are no lap marks even when there are days between applications. The material is easy to clean up and the results are beautiful. I am very happy with this product.

I followed the instructions on the can to prep and apply this product. It looked great for about 3 months. The other day I noticed the finish was peeling off. Very disappointing.

This stain was really easy to apply. I applied it on a new porch using a roller and brush. It covered the wood really good using the roller. The color was exactly what I wanted and lighten as it dried. It dried fast so I was able to apply the second coat as recommended. I finished just in time because later in the week--it rained! The rain "beaded" as it stayed on the rails of the porch. I'm really happy with my new porch! Now I just have to work on the landscape!

I had never used stain before using this product.Thankfully, it truly is goof-proof! It was easy to apply and it covered well. I was only able to apply one coat, with help, before the rainy season arrived, but it is beading up nicely and we will apply a second coat in the spring for optimum protection. It's a little pricey, but worth it for the ease of application. I used the natural cedar color and it is a little darker than I anticipated, but it looks really nice and I'm very pleased with the results. I would recommend this stain to anyone wanting to protect a wood surface.

This stain is not cheap, but it's well worth the price. Our fence was badly in need of some TLC, and this stain did the trick. We sprayed it on and now it looks good as new.

This was applied to my log home that had been sitting for several years without any stain on it. IT turned out beautiful and I really noticed that water has been repelling on it..

Product applies evenly, with good color saturation though very light in tone. Water beads pretty well and it dries in good time. Was able to handle the planter in just a couple hours though still a bit tacky, expect 24 hours for full dry. Not sure about long term sealing ability as it's thinner than the product I normally use. Annual sealing of exterior woods is always required to keep them nice. Easiest to apply with foam brushes or roller.

The only reason I'm rating lower on quality is that I read online that it fades in sunlight and I've noticed it lighten over the last month with all our sun. Don't get me wrong it still looks so much better and still gets compliments. (Btw, it's not just that it dried, I realized that it wouldn't stay as dark as when I first applied it.)

this stain/sealer in my mind is one of the best if not the best. it is very easy to apply and dries very quick, and leaves a very natural cedar color the lawn furniture and fence looks great and will purchase more to do my shed. here are some before and after pictures.

I used this sealer first time and I got great results. I really recommend this product over other fence sealers. I spray it and 5 gallon bucket was enough to cover 280ln/f of 6'high cedar fence

Stained our new YellaWood fence with natural cedar and it looks fantastic. Let wood dry out for a month and the product soaks right in. Goes on relatively easily with pump garden sprayer. Used snow shovel, like on product website, to control over-spray. Captured minimal runoff with tarp under fence and spot dabbed on with kitchen sponge on stick gizmo from housewares dept. No nasty urethanes like other products, just a thin linseed oil with pigments and biocide for mold control. We kept fence wet with stain for half hour or more to really let it soak in, so it took about 5 gallons per 24 linear feet (both sides or 48' total) of 6' tall board on board privacy fence. We could have used less if we wanted too. Looking forward to extended lifespan for our fence investment. Very happy with result.

We stained pressure treated Adirondack chairs, went on good and looks great. Water beads off, the color is even and attractive .

This product came highly recommended by a contractor! It looks and seals great!

Great product for Cedar Fence

Excellent product that was foolproof as stated by the manufacturer.

Easiest stain ever. Looks great.

Love the color on the fence.. just what I was looking for.

Easy to use and it evens out nicely. Beautiful color.

Very very easy to use. I use a roller for my deck and rails and it went quickly. I followed the instructions for washing, waiting, and the applying the ready seal.. perfect. BTW, I'm 77

This paint stain is excellent however, the price is ridiculous. It’s too high for what it is. They are correct when they say it’s user easy, but it takes a lot of it to cover weathered lumber

Great product. Used this to stain my fence and deck. Loved how easy it was to use especially with my airless sprayer. It really is “goof proof.”
