#1 Deck Premium Advanced Solid Color Outdoor Wood Stain and Sealer in One – Water Based Sealant for Wood Decks, Fences, & Siding - 1 Gal - Made in USA - Dark Walnut

As it is sometimes said, "You get what you pay for". This is some good stuff. Too my surprise it looks great on my huge front deck. It covers very well in one coat actually. Having been blessed with some very warm weather here in south east Tennessee during the last week of October, 2023, I thought I would try some of this deck stain. Glad I did. I'm ready for the harsh winter weather temperatures just around the corner. I've just ordered two more gallons to give my deck a second coat to maximize the protection on my deck. The price was a little steep, but it's well worth it. I just hope it can withstand the hard winter temps that is on its way. I'll to an update review next spring 2024 and let everyone know.

It turned out amazing!! Went on very easily and covered well!! It’s an older deck but still solid, and when we finished painting the house it really stood out like a sore thumb. My husband replaced a few boards and I agonized over the color…in the end we were so pleased with it!! Not too light gray…it really gave it a nice clean look!!We applied it with a brush around the edges and a good roller. It was dry in a few hours but we decided to stay off it and not put anything on it for a couple days just so it completely cured.Now the deck is beautiful and protected just in time for the rain!!

Covers great and looks great too. Redwood color.

We wanted a stain not from a Lowes or Home Depot and found this one after searching online for a hat is available. Worked great on the deck that needed some refreshment and had old stain on it already. We cleaned it and sand a little and the.covered the wood with 2 layers. The results were great and coverage is solid. After 2 layers the wood is not seen thru.

This is more like paint than stainIt's great coverage and solid color.Well worth the price

Seems like a decent product, but color looks nothing like picture!! I got Dark Walnut, but looks a lot lighter than expected.I applied 2nd coat hoping it would darken up. Nope! It is very Matte, hopefully holds up. Time will tell.

First off i own a restoration business. Interior & exterior painting, wood deck & fence restoration including repair, cleaning, restoring & staining and a softwashing & pressure washing service. I ordered some of the solid light walnut stain for a deck job i had. There was a gallon left over from that job so i took it off the bill and was going to use it on my softwashing trailer deck floor to seal it. After cleaning & restoring the wood deck boards on the trailer by using a light mix of sodium hydroxide & sodium metasilicate and then brightaning the wood with oxalic acid and also waiting till the next day to dry i applied 2 coats of the deck stain. Then waited 24 hours until i put everything back into the trailer. Its been 2 years since i applied the stain and after much abuse from the weather plus all the caustic chemicals getting on the stain over time and dragging equipment on and off the trailer day in and day out this stain has held up pretty damn good. Very impressed to say the least. It only has a few smaller areas where the stain came off from where i dragged equipment, cender blocks etc over it on a regular basis. I am am about to take everything off the trailer to clean and stain again for next season. All in all this is definitely a good quality stain and i use a lot of different stain products in my business. This was the firt time using this product and definitely wont be the last 👍

The manufacturer refers to this both as a paint and as a stain. I am using the solid version in white, and to me it seems to be a thin paint. It is a bit thinner than quality paint, so it tends to run on vertical surfaces. Its thinness means I needed to use two coats for decent coverage, although the wood had an existing coat of white Sherwin Williams latex stain applied 4 years ago. As a stain, the resulting finish is flat rather than semi gloss or gloss, and a flat stain finish was my goal. This was my first time buying paint/stain in a gallon jug instead of a metal can, and I found mixing to be a challenge. A paint can shaker will not work, and the jug opening is too small to use a mixer of paint stick, I had to settle for hand shaking, so it is likely that the first pour will be thinner than the rest. Nowhere on the container is there any information about how long to wait to apply a second coat, or even if a second coat is recommended. But I needed to recoat to get decent coverage, so I guessed at 6 hours. The initial coat was dry to touch in an hour, but the second coat still has wet patches three hours later. It has just begun to rain (despite not being forecast), so I am hoping it is rain resistant despite not being totally dry.
