Maximum 1 gal Canyon Brown Transparent Wood Stain & Sealer in One

Staining and sealing a deck is quite a process. And if you watch the Youtube videos, you get panicked. They act like every drop, smear, uneven stroke is going to be the end of the world. Well my son and I tossed this stain on using the absolute cheapest brushes and cheapest roller. We did not powerwash the deck before hand. We sanded away a couple areas which were kind of green and moldy, and then we went at it. The deck hadn't been treated for ten years. But this product goes on so easy and even kind of fun. Yes it is liquidy so it drips about. We had some cardboard etc. But we were not being super cautious. The results however look like we really tried. Not one line appears from the roller, and we didn't even roll with the grain every time. Not one drip or brush funkiness appears either. It just looks nice. Now there are a couple spots that need work only because on our decent sized deck we went with just one gallon. Shockingly the product covered it. Took my son and I about four hours to apply (mostly because those railings take time, especially when the wood is as dry as ours was) --- But when we got to the bottom of the gallon, there were little spots toward the end that could have used just a bit more. If only they sold quarts. Still, we are going with this. Job done. Great results. Already survived a couple rainy days. Very happy with this purchase. And ignore those persnikkity overly fanatical youtubers. You got this.

My front porch floor looks great. This is waterproof and great quality. I am glad I used this. Double coat made my porch look good again. Thank you. And it is quick to dry.

Great stain/sealant

Easy to apply. I applied to never before stained pressure treated pine. Used a thick nap roller to apply and a brush to smooth and get into the crack between boards. Went on even. Color was a good match for what the previous homeowner had on the rest of the deck. The next day, water was beading on the newly stained boards. We’ll see about durability over the years. I think the price was good for what i got. One gallon was enough for the deck boards, steps, and railing top caps. I would purchase again if durability is proven.

This product does not last like they say it does. I purchased 5 of the 5 gallon buckets totaling more than $1000 bucks along with the brushes recommended to use for it. I prepped and followed instructions and my deck is peeling horrible in less than a year. Worst part is there is no warranty or help from Amazon to offer not even half the credit for the product that does not work. Been a customer of Amazon for years now and buy nearly everything from the site and they didn’t care nor offered a solution. Very disappointing.

Nice and easy to apply with a short hair roller. I laid on two coats on Baltic Birch plywood as a barrier to outdoor exposure and water. I’m somewhat disappointed that after a year it didn’t age or patina well as it allowed surface mold in and to blacken. That’s more climate I believe than product. Regardless, it’s holding up pretty good.

This is a great stain and sealer to use. I had my deck cleaned but waited too long in the season to get it sealed by an expert. I'm doing this myself and it is not difficult. The only thing I wish was that my cans were dented a lot in transit. These would have to have been thrown without regard to the cautionary fragile statements on the box to get so dented. Luckily, it was received without opening by accident, so the way the manufacturer packed them is to be commended.

The varnish created a beautiful result, BUT I had to saw off the heavy duty plastic ring. Awful.
