An awesome product to work with!
I refinished a door for the very first time. Stripped 3 layers of paint and sanded repeatedly. This stain was awesome to work with and made my project look very fine. Easy to apply and great online instruction. I also used a topcoat from General Finishes and am quite pleased with both products.

Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2023
Expensive but worth it! We used this on our pine wood garden beds we built and totally changed the look and made it so much more vibrant giving us the classy rustic look we desired. This stain did not have a strong odor and went on smoothly and beautifully!
