Cabot Samuel 1801-05 QT- White Base- 100 Percent Acrylic- Solid Color Decking Stain

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this stain solid for a project and the next project. I thought I would try a different brand of stain And that was a mistake should have stuck with Cabot solid stain for the best results

Long lasting paint and stain, we have been using this product for years and there is minimal peeling on the deck chairrails, railings, and floor. We live in Wisconsin where the climate can reach 40 degrees Fahrenheit below zero, or 90+ degrees. The main traffic areas are a bit rough.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just stained my cedar sided house and chose gray, just hoping that it would cover over the darker cedar color that I had been putting on it that last 10 years and to my joy it covered perfectly

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this 1 year ago and love it. It has held up beautifully. We tried it for the trim edging of the deck. Since it held up so well, we're doing the whole deck.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried other stains. A builder told me about Cabot. I have never used anything else for any of my building projects decks, etc. that I've had and built.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am on my fourth year purchasing this item. It remains well protected throughout the year. The wood looks new! My patio is beautiful with cordovan brown floor and vary white spindles.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I built a lake dock with drop in cedar panels. To get a good redwood color I painted the cedar planks with Cabot acrylic soli stain and sealer. What a home run. The panels are beautiful and most importantly my wife is ecstatic with the finish. The coverage was very good and it very easy to do. At age 80. Could not be happier. The acrylic had no VOC or odor. What a fine product. Looks better than my neighbors docks who used trex.

Used on our deck about 3 years ago I was hesitant to use initially, and for good reason it peeled. We have just stripped sanded and brightened our large deck floor, but I used on our steps and rails too. Not sure what we will do with those yet not as easy to strip and sand. Also used on Adirondack chairs and table. We are so disappointed!

Extremely disappointed in this product. We spent a lot of time cleaning and prepping our deck per the instructions, then painted the stain. It took several hours across a few days to paint. Less than three months later, the stain is peeling up in random spots, including areas that have only been touched by rain.

I've been using this product for 10 years. Why? Because the previous homeowner used it and I didnt want to take it all off my huge deck with many railings. We live in Chicagoland so snow does sit on the deck for several weeks of the year. Every summer it is peeling off all over the deck and we have to scrape, powerwash and repeat. It's fine on vertical surfaces. It looks just like PAINT, not stain. Water does not bead up on it. There are just huge puddles of water on the deck after a rain.
