Cabot140.0019473.007 Gold Finish Low VOC Stain, Gallon, Moonlit Mahogany, Low VOC Moonlit Mahogany

Although I bought it for another project, I picked up one of my grandfather's old hand-made wood toolboxes. The toolbox is at least 50yrs old and dilapidated made of scrap wood. I could hear him say in my head, "Not that piece of junk." But to me this is a sentimental object. I used Cabot Moonlit Mahogany on all the edges and used rugged brush strokes to fan the dark stain out from the edges. Then Used Cabot Fireside Cherry stain over-all. The toolbox is now a beautiful piece of junk and still very useful.

I had some untreated wood around my pool on the deck that I sanded back to good finished wood then used this Cabot fireside cherry stain on w two coats and it looks awesome.

After 3 years, I used a 220 grit pad and brush sanded the surface just to rough it up. Brushed on and will give it another three years before I do it again. I got the best price on Amazon.

I purchased this brand because it was highly recommended by several professionals, and it was amazing. First, after preparing the wood with a power washer, it went on easily -- but looked very uneven. After a second coat it was dark and very shiny. I wasn't expecting it to be so shiny and figured it would fade eventually. It is very water-repellent, which is good and bad. I've attached a picture of what it looks like a week after we had rain. As you can see, the rain puddles and forms spots that can only be removed by mopping -- not exactly maintenance-free. Even on the few places where my sprinklers hit, I have to go out daily and squeegee or mop up later --

Works well on my deck.

not a satin finish as it is on label - very shinny finish! asked for a refund because of the false description they are making it impossible for me to get a refund!

The media could not be loaded. The price is bit high. Looks great though.

First of all, make sure you know this is the small size can, and not a large normal size! Secondly, we used this stain once with great results. However the deck was VERY slippery when it was icy out. We decided to redo the deck this year and this time add the traction silcion (like sand) to the paint to give it more traction. However, this second time was a disaster as it would not dry, even after 3 days of warm weather. When it rained on day 4 the deck stain became splotchy and crumbling and peeling... just a disaster. We redid the deck again after that, thinking it was a fluke and the same thing happened AGAIN! Not sure what is going on, but I think our next attempt will be have to be with a different brand.

So I thought I was buying a gallon but instead it was 1 quart. the price of the quart was the same as a gallon. I got charged 4 times as much. what a top off
