Cabot Australian Timber Oil Stain Test | Deck painting

[@jason84]

Thanks! Helped me pick the color for my unfinished cedar posts. Mahogany Flame!

[@deryadingus2872]

Can you share a picture of your deck with Mahogany Flame?

[@davymyboy7966]

Why not sho the 2nd and 3rd paints on the weathered board?

[@yushikuang7877]

I use Honey Teck and I really like it when applied but after one winter, the color faded so much than it looks almost like the treated brown lumber you buy at your renovation store. It cover well the old green treated lumber also. The second year, I tried the Jarreg Brown and it was quite dark brown and it accentuate the wood node or default as it stain darker in those place. After a winter, it looks like cedar color and much more uniform. I will probably applied every 2 years ...it’s quite expensive per gallon but the only fact it doesn’t required any sanding, it’s great. If one day, I’m am done with it...we will switch to composite.

[@jeffclark5024]

I have a very old entry way deck that I just coated with the Australian timber oil. The old wood really soaked it up. Used way more than I thought it was going to take. It does look nice and hopefully will extend its life a few more years

[@MrStukov]

Sounds great! Hope it will lasts long.

[@fxdwings]

Cabot doesn't last long and their customer service is garbage

[@jeffclark5024]

@@fxdwings still holding up good so far, what’s better? What do you recommend? The entry deck I did literally is about shot, so I don’t really care just wanted to make it look better and it did that

But what would the other colors look like over weathered wood?

[@dabigdikdangler]

I wish I had watched this BEFORE I bought the Mahogany Flame spray varnish. I used it on two wicker baskets and now they look too orange. So that will be another 15 bucks spent on a darker color to cover it.

[@jcardosa02]

love the music

[@bido8176]

Jarrah Brown is significantly lighter now that it used to me. Its almost like Mahogany Flame just not as orange color.

[@coppulor6500]

Agreed. Its far too red now and very close to mahogany flame. Very annoying. I'm going to try mixing their walnut with jarrah to see if I can get a wine ish colored brown

[@myonlinetv5925]

Thanks for the video. I used Cabot's oil based 'Deck and Exterior Stain'. I got the results that I wanted(which I never got before) after 2 coats. Was AUD $89.90/4 litres. I got it tinted to get the darker colour. 🙏🙏

I'm glad you did it!

April 29, 2021: BEWARE! I have used Cabot (Cordovan Brown: solid stain and other products) for 15-years with no problems. I decided to do some touch-up and bought a gallon. The color was WAY off and didn't match at all. I contacted Cabot and they said "we changed the formula." They would not give me the old mixing formula ... so, I would have to re-stain 250 feet of heavy redwood fence and 300 sq feet of deck. This "change of formula" is a tactic to sell more product. Nicely, Home Depot was able to exactly match my color (Behr) so I'm going with that product. I'm no longer a "loyal Cabot customer!"

[@kellie5434]

Cabot has a VOC formula with a blue top on can, everyone says it's not like the regular top can...maybe it was the blue top u bought?

[@ElectrologyNow]

@@kellie5434 I wish that were the case, and thanks for your kind comment. (The stain you're talking about is a clear stain, and I have used it for redwood.) Actually, I was in contact with Cabot. They said they "changed the color formula" and they would not give me the formula for the "old color." Basically, “screw you!” Amazingly, I went to Home Depot with a color sample from a tiny piece of the deck ... and, they matched the color exactly ... mixed up their Behr Solid Acrylic Stain and I found it to be a perfect match and a high-quality product. Cabot is "off my good guy list" forever. They were no help and couldn't care less about their very loyal customer (for more than 15 years).

[@SunandSnowGardening]

I had a similar experience with Cabot Bark. Bought some from Lowes in semi-transparent and it went on like a dark-brown/purple solid stain. No relation whatsoever to the original color.

[@shawnsponds]

I got cordovan brown today to stain my exterior shutters on new pine wood, it is difficult to see a difference in before and after! Highly not recommended!!!

[@ddreday]

Should have used your samples on the weathered deck board also so we can get a better comparison like you did on the honey teak over the weathered deck board, not just the treated wood.

[@MrStukov]

Completely agreed, it was my flaw. I am still have this paints so will update video with more complete test soon. Sorry.

[@ddreday]

@@MrStukov I have used the oak sun drenched Cabot gold on my deck I believe it’s treated and also the moonlit mahogany on cedar 2x4 and cedar tone timber 6x6. They are really good products

[@jcardosa02]

@@ddreday thanks i was just considering the sun drentched one as i am looking for a brown wood stain with yellow tones. does it look warm yellow brown?

[@ddreday]

@@jcardosa02 it has some color but not dark brown it’s like the product looks but it has a nice shine after you apply 2 coats. Looks like hardwood illusion, it’s been 2 years and I’m applying another cost this year with out sanding it and see how it looks. But I live in Chicago with a deck on the second floor. The top is weathered but underneath where I also applied it looks new still. So I think it just needs a yearly maintenance of one coat I’m not sure but I’m going to use the same one and depending on my siding which is t11 siding I might go with it also and maybe go with sunlit or mahogany flame for the deck so it can match the trim on my windows.

[@davidrudland1015]

are the square bits of timber treated?

[@MrStukov]

yes this is leftover peaces of ac2 treated fir pickets

[@daarkke]

Is this an Australian product?

[@timrick2]

How is that a test?? You did color samples!!!

[@MrStukov]

Exactly, this is not durability it's appearance test.

[@amc31b]

Where did you get those small cans?

My local Menards have 1/2 pint samples of all cabot stains. www.menards.com/main/paint/exterior-paint-stain/exterior-wood-stains/wood-toners-transparent-stains/cabot-reg-australian-timber-oil-reg-exterior-wood-stain/140-0003458-003/p-4364363663390947.htm

[@kidiraq8381]

I was just recommended to use Cobot for the deck part of a dock I’m putting in. The railing and frame will be black metal, but for the life of me I cannot figure out a color that shows the grain and looks good for this type of project?! Thank you for the video though!

[@MrStukov]

Before you buy stain for the whole deck you can get a small test can of the stain, they selling it about $4 for the color. May be it help you with decision.

Hi!

[@shawnsponds]

My experience with pine was not good at all, o chose a dark stain and it was like water …

[@MrStukov]

With which deck stain you ended up?

[@irinagolovina8068]

👍

[@sjbb838]

If you put any one of these products on a different wood such as redwood pickets or planks the color will be a couple shades darker.he is using it on light wood so don’t be fooled. if you’re using any other color of wood besides light wood it will be a darker shade.

[@BrentDaughertyMe]

Yep. I used Jarrah Brown on Doug Fir and it was a nice brown, but on Redwood it is a very dark brown. I think I'll try the honey teak on the redwood to look more like cedar.

Cabot is garbage. Used on red mehogany and failed. Cabot asked how many coats I did. Told them 2 and they said that's why it failed because it's a 1 coat product. Stay away from Cabot .
