Defy Extreme Wood Stain Review 2022 This is an updated review of our original Defy Extreme Wood Stain.  See Here for First Review: Defy Extreme Stain Review Note: Defy Extreme Stain had a label change in 2019.

THOMPSONS WATERSEAL STAIN & SEALER REVIEW 2022 We would love to hear from you if you have used THOMPSONS WATERSEAL STAIN & SEALER. Please post a rating in the Consumer Star Ratings below. Thompson’s WaterSeal has clearly not been a consumer favorite with deck stains or sealers. Mainly as it does not offer any UV protection and it grays in a few months. The Transparent and Semi-Transparent versions are prone to premature peeling and wearing after about 1 year. Thompsons has 4 different labels for the same stain. They change the name based on the store that carries it but it is the exact same product. Lowes: THOMPSON’S® WATERSEAL® SIGNATURE SERIES – STAIN & SEALER Menards: THOMPSON’S® WATERSEAL® TOTAL ALL-IN-ONE STAIN AND SEALER…

Pittsburgh Paramount Exterior Stain Semi-Transparent Review The Pittsburgh Paramount Stain was introduced in Menards in the last couple of years. The product is actually the exact same thing as the Olympic ELITE Advanced Stain + Sealant in One (Lowes) and the PPG Timeless, just relabeled for Menards use. They have two versions of the stain at a different price point. The Paramount and the Ultra. Pittsburgh tried to discern the two by saying one will last longer but in reality, neither of these stains will last more than 1-2 years. This is their acrylic water-based version.
