Defy Extreme Crystal Clear Is Awesome!

The clear formulation performs exactly as described. Darkens the wood when applied but dries completely clear, as if no coating was applied. Great finish. Wanted a clear finish to highlight the natural wood after a painstaking stripping effort. Will never stain the deck with a pigment that hides the natural beauty of the wood.

Great product

I followed the directions and it turned out great. Do not skip recommended steps. I really like the stain. Only applied one coat first year. Second year did not require a coat. Third year, we put a second coat of stain on. Hopefully, it will hold for a few years now that we have two coats of stain on.

I'm happy with the quick shipping and the ease of use of this product. Using a long handled car wash brush made application easy. NOTE the product is thin and soaks in and covers well. The instructions are to apply to about 3 deck boards at a time, and then immediately apply another coat to the same boards, before moving on. In my case, the pressure treated decking that I was sealing was in good, smooth condition and it did not require anywhere near the amount of sealant that was recommended. Out of 10 gallons for approximately 1000 sq ft of decking, I used 6 gallons. Applied in midwestern Michigan, end of August. i will try to remember to update to a performance review next summer.

Nice Color Stain

The stain itself seems to be good quality even though it was expensive. But everything is expensive post Covid (sigh). The shipping was problematic because not enough care was taken to properly package this heavy product, so it leaked out a bit.

natural pine wood stain

It really looks great, If you want a different look for your deck, this brings out the color of the pine. Just be aware that this is as thin as water and splashes no matter how you apply it especially when you pour it out into a tray.

Extremely hard to learn to use. Color matching is difficult from one bucket to the next. Can not add another coat once it dries. Tough to strip and sand. If you want to change colors, rent a walk behind sander for decks. Then finish with a hand belt sander. Lot of work just to switch colors or use an alternative. Probably used 40 or 50 gallons. There are just too many other better options today.

Ordered 5 gallon pail of Cedar Tone stain. Received 1 gallon of Grey stain. Seller never responded to my inquiry. Walmart was great and refunded my money.
