Solid finish stain

It was of good quality and went on the wood very easily and smoothly. It was a good price.

Zero customer service from manufacturer.

14 days ago
Just to update my previous entry of how poor the product is - the manufacturer does not respond to email complaints or requests for refunds, even with photographic proof. This is a very expensive mistake and the small savings is not worth it.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Lasted five months - terrible product avoid.

I would give this a zero if it was possible. We live inland in NS and used this deck stain Fall of 2025. In less than 5 months its all started to peel and come off with just one winter. I know everyone will say did you follow the instructions - Yes. Did you prep the deck as per the tin - as best we could yes. Its come off of railings and the deck itself. It was a big decision to go with the Redwood - but deeply regret it now as the task to remove is just far too costly. If you have a brand new deck in a perfect weather region it may be ok. The photos were taken just after rain that is why the wood looks damp It became exposed as the product is coming off so much.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Finish product will last under 3 months!

I applied this stain last year to my deck. I followed all instructions on the prep of my deck before application, use of a wood stripper to remove previous finish, wood conditioner before using stain. 2 days of prep then I applied the stain that looked great for about three months when pealing started to happen. All that for 3 months? My deck looks worse now than it ever did after the winter season. Save your money and time, this product is garbage, I wouldn’t use it if they gave it to me for free!

Q: What is the difference between the Premier Exterior Solid Stain and the Premier Active Solid Stain?

5 years ago
2 Answers
  • A: hello Mike, Premier Active has two features that makes it superior to Premier. Low temperature application, it can dry in as low as 5c in a 24h period. Compared to 15c for Premier. Colour retention, so Premier Active will keep the colour pigmentation longer than Premier. thanks!

Q: is it possible to tint this in dark walnut color?

2 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hello bpasquill, Yes, our Premier Tintable Exterior wood stain in the semi-transparent finish can be tinted to a dark walnut colour. We actually have about 30 colours you may choose from. I would advise that you ask the expert at the paint counter to help pick the correct product as you may need a deep base (in store item 048-5905-6) depending on your colour choice. Good luck with your project.

Q: is this varnish? can i apply this on wallpaper to make it water proof?

3 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: Thank you for your question lifemyst. As this product is ideally used for exterior wood projects it is not recommended to apply over a wallpape. Additionally, it would not make it waterproof. We wish you much success in your project and should have any questions regarding any additional projects please contact us at 1-866-PAINT99 or by email at premier@ucppaint.com and we would be happy to further assist you.

Q: Do I need to use a sealant after staining wood deck with this product or is this sufficient to resist moisture? 

3 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: Good day Michymee1, when it comes to Premier Premixed Exterior Wood Stain - a sealant is not necessary as the product is weather repellent, the formulation also helps combat mildew and dirt. If you have any additional questions please feel free to contact us at our toll free number 1.866.PAINT99 or visit your local Canadian Tire at the paint counter for further assistance.
