Olympic Maximum 5 Gallons ST-2005 Cedar Natural Tone Semi-Transparent Exterior Stain and Sealer in One Low VOC

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the convenience of a stain and sealant in one application. This was great on my redwood fence that needed a coating since it was outdoors in the weather. The color is great and the sealing will help my wood fence last the elements for a long time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this product to stain and seal my outdoor steps. It left me with a beautiful semi transparent cedar finish that still shows the wood grain. It went on smooth and seemed to dry quickly. I only needed one coat to cover my stairs, but applied a 2nd coat to the tops of the stairs and railing for extra protection from the rain and snow. I am very pleased with the overall experience and appearance. Some of the great features of this stain and sealant are the fact that I could apply it to damp wood. This was a nice feature since I srubbed my steps prior to staining. I allowed my steps to dry for 3 hours in the sun before staining, but I didn't need to worry about them being completely dry due to this feature. I love that it is rain ready in 8 hours because you never know when the weather man will change the forecast! It is dirt and stuff resistant too! My favorite feature is that it should last 6 years on decks! Im looking forward to not having to re-stain my steps for a few years! This is a great product for anyone looking to stain and seal their deck, fence or siding! I would definitely recommend this Olympic product!
