Do not use on TEAK

10 days ago
Someone I know got recommended the Premium clear waterbased waterproofer for their teak patio set and it did not dry correctly. Apparently teak has too much oil in it and will push the waterproofer off. Always test products in an inconspicuous place first!!!

Yes, I recommend this product.

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!

2 months 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.
