PLASTIK Valspar Multicolor One-Coat Exterior Stain and Sealer Solid

I applied solid stain "potato skin" to porch 10 x 30, all railing, steps, ramp decks and garden raised bed gardens. This was this past summer and now after all the snow it looks like the day I finished it. Great stuff. Maybe the folks who had problems should have started with a clean dry surface.

In the process of staining my log cabin home. The wood was sun damaged and the solid seems to be doing a great service for restoring and protecting from any further damage. Does feel like more of a paint Bohan a stain so do test areas first before committing.

I spent a lot of time prepping the surfaces, and definitely followed the application instructions. The stain is easy to apply and looked great for about 6 months. By the end of year one, there's been a lot of flaking and it continues to get worse. I certainly expected better results.

Preped my platform deck by powerwashing last week. Purchased 2 gallons of Solid color stain (Simply Cedar) yesterday and applied. Temp in the 70s and wood was dry. In 4 hours it was dry to touch and even walk on. Looked great! Early this AM it rained and sections of the deck have the stain bubbling up ready to peal.

So my neighbor had me do her deck and she asked me to make sure we didn't have to reduce it for anthor 5 to 6 years well I went with valspar and as you can guess didn't make it a year so know I'm searching for a better stain and sealer and out my money and working again I wouldn't buy this again

I read the customer reviews and response from customer service about how the product will flake away immediately if you apply to heavily or if the service is contaminated before application. I was careful to ensure neither was the case and yet it still flaked off very quickly. I reapplied and had the same problem. Very disappointed in this product.

I bought 3 gallons of Valspar solid stain in light gray last summer, 2021. It went on great and looked nice for the summer. I had prepped my 3 year old deck according to instructions and was happy with the results. BUT after only one winter in NYS my deck is a peeling mess! All that time and money wasted and now I have to figure out how to redo this mess which will cost me more time and money. Valspar is junk and I will never buy it again. Too bad I couldn't give it 0 stars.

I purchased a home last spring with a relatively new (1 year old) 450 sq ft deck that the previous homeowners built. Knowing the importance of proper surface prep, I took all necessary precautions to ensure that the deck was ready, clean of dirt/mildew before staining, even spending the extra money to purchase Valspar deck cleaner/wood prep. The picture shows the surface of the deck damp to show the peeling more clearly. I applied the stain last summer and it looked great. I first noticed localized peeling between snowfalls in the winter, hoping it was just a certain spot. Now the peeling covers all the horizontal surfaces of the deck. This stain did not behave like a stain, but rather just regular paint. The stain did not penetrate the wood which is obvious from the peeling that is taking place. I'm very disappointed that the stain didn't even make it through one winter. I spent a lot of effort, time and money to make my home look good. Now I will have to invest more time and money to fix it.

I bought this last year 2021 but the weather turned cold and snowy. So I waited will this spring to spray it on my deck when it was pressure washed and dry for 2 weeks 2022. Now the stain is coming up on my deck in places. So much for a 10 year warranty

prior to using this product on 10,000 sq ft of barn siding we contacted technical support to ensure that there would be no issues using solid stain on kiln dried yellow pine. Assurance was given that the only issue have been with Redwood and cedar. We proceeded with staining siding prior to installing, it looked amazing until exposed to the sun, now I have knots showing all over the barn.
