Solrac Luminos LUM1100 - Blanc PROVENAL - Outdoor Water-Based Wood Finish Stain Protector - White Provence 1QT

Top notch color

When I purchased my home, it came with a very old pool and pool deck. It was a reddish color that needed to be repainted. I used Rut oleum's Claret Wine, unfortunately it all peeled off on the deck flooring over the winter. The paint stayed on the lattice and railings. I found out into looking into why this happened was the original "paint" was probably stained and paint will peel off of stain. So, in searching for cranberry stain that hopefully would match the claret wine I found this Luminous Burgandy. At first, I bought a small amount to try and see if it matched well and I was thrilled it did! I scraped and sanded the rest of the other paint that remained on the deck, and I applied this stain. Pictures don't do it justice; it has this beautiful sparkle to it in the sunlight. Nothing crazy, just a hint of gold. I only did a thin layer. Really that was all that was needed. I don't think this stain will come off over winter but if it does, I will edit my review. I have tried scratching it off and it doesn't so I think it will be good. I will have to redo my steps because the paint is starting to come off of them too. You can see in my pictures how well they match. My deck was in really bad shape. I honestly think it's probably 50 years old and I've noticed since staining it doesn't get algae growing on it (and it was a very humid, rainy summer this year). The stain repels water nicely. I think this will add many more years to this old deck's life. The stain is extremely easy to use too. It's very watery so the process goes by fast. It can also be washed out before it dries. I used one small can and 1/3 a large can to stain the whole top. Very happy with this stain and am thinking about trying some of the other colors on other outdoor wood items I have. I highly recommend!

I was very impressed with this product. I couldn't find any colorful stain locally, so had to order something & just hope it would work out. I used one coat, and it is bright and beautiful. It went on easily and I finished my 12x17' deck in about 3 hours painting it on with a 3" brush. I was also pleasantly surprised that it included a stick to stir it with and also gloves. Box says it seals/protects wood, too, so time will tell how it holds up to the desert sun.

Very nice. Worked well and nice color

Loved this stuff! My outdoor bench was a disaster. This was only my second staining project but this stain went on beautifully. After cleaning, de-molding and alot of sanding, I applied a pre stain conditioner. The stain went on smoothly. I couldn't believe it actually had a luminous sheen! The color here is SunSet. The color is a reddish orange with miniscule golden flecks. I did 2 coats. I followed up with 3 coats of Sparurethane in satin. Very happy with the results!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: It truly is a stand out blue stain. It has such an amazing glow that projects amazing in the sun. Thickness: This stain works great in the sprayer and the only reason I took off a star was because I felt it went too quick when applying it. This is most likely due to its lightness. Look: If you want something amazing and ocean blue this is truly a breath taking glow.

Beautiful color and stains well on wood. It does take up a lot of paint when painting wood. The second coat enhances it and has a nice appearance.

I was very excited to use this water based stain because I liked what it said about it. I have had the opportunity to see how it performs and I'm not that happy. Maybe I should have chosen a different brighter color since the lime green I chose is just too light and doesn't really show up. I have used multiple coats but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Used on a pine board bench outside. Plus... it is really hard to get the stain mixed. I stir and stir and stir and it still isn't thoroughly mixed.
