CabotStain,

Easy to apply with a small pump sprayer. Protects for about one season. I have used it on decks for many years. I also use it to prolong the life of landscape timber such as railroad ties.

I coated a bench, that my son made, with this stuff, and it had no effect. So, i gave it a few more coats. Still no effect. I gave it several more coats, literally drenching the little bench, each day, until I had used the whole jug on it. Still, the wood just soaks up the rain, and the wood is splitting and warping. This stuff is worthless.
