Cabot Solid Color Acrylic Stain & Sealer Solid Tintable Neutral Base Acrylic Deck Stain 1 qt

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've been talking about staining the deck for some time. Bought the Cabot and we are thrilled with the results!! It was easy to apply - we used a semi-rough roller. It dried quickly and looks great! The previous owner worked on his Harley on the deck and left major oil stains. The redwood covered them completely in one coat! We have some more exposed wood that will need some treatment and we'll be going !back for more Cabot

I have used this product tinted Cordovan Brown over two summers 2012/2013 and found it to be excellent in coverage and weathering.  The drying time does vary depending on the application surface.  It dries quickly - overnight - on porous surfaces, but takes 2 days or more if the surface has old solid smooth stain on it or if the wood is hard and smooth, probably due to the fact that it can't soak into the old stained solid or smooth wood surfaces.  Although this is 'Deck Stain' , and the instructions say it not intended for use on siding, it works great on Wood Cedar Shingles as well, giving excellent coverage and protection, with superior weathering - no signs of chalking after one year on Decks, Rails, or Shingles.
