Behr stains are the new way to go

a month ago
Initially what caught my attention to using the semi-transparent stains were the color options. the color I had envisioned for my project was one behr had in their collection called forest and it's a vibrant green while still remaining a natural appearing color. Upon using the product I was immediately impressed by the texture. Since it's not an oil or water based, it is acrylic. unlike typical stains bears product has a viscous watery texture and almost no odor whatsoever. I was able to blend out and spread even thin coats of this product without any smearing or without it drying too quickly on me. I had a very reasonable amount of time to blend the product out before wiping off any excess. but even that was not necessary because the product absorbs perfectly onto a well prepped wood. The color payout is almost identical to what I saw on the packaging. after two coats the Sheen and finish that the stain leaves is so gorgeous and almost eggshell like. I was very very happy with the results I will be using this product again for any staining projects I have.

Smooth application and the deck looks great!

a month ago
Recently used this stain & sealer on our deck and very pleased with results. Preparation is key - light pressure wash, let it dry for a full 2 days, and then swept to remove any dust right before the first application. The stain soaked evenly into the pressure treated wood and left a very nice tint while allowing the wood grain to show through.Very happy with how it looks now.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Great product for our old deck

2 months ago
Easy and quick application, gave our old 1200sqft deck a much needed facelift, I like the penetrating oil as it’ll never peal or crack, and every few years give it a re-coat to keep it fresh looking.

Semi transparent cedar natural tone stain

2 months ago
I live on an acreage and I use gallons and gallons and gallons of the semi transparent cedar natural tone stain for all of my arena and fence rails. It looks absolutely stunningly amazing, and I only do refreshes every three years, but it always looks good. I love this product.

Yes, I recommend this product.
