Arborcoat Stain Review. Should You Buy This Stain from Benjamin Moore?

What happens here

The reviewer highlights several positive aspects of Benjamin Moore Arborcoat. Firstly, its superior coverage: he notes that it covers better than any other stain he has used, thanks to its high solids content (about 38% for solid color stain). He has successfully used it to cover surfaces from white to black. Secondly, its ability to minimize lap marks, brush strokes, and roller marks, a common challenge with many stains. He specifically mentions using the semi-solid on a redwood deck with excellent results, praising its ease of application without visible marks. Lastly, its strong adhesion, which is crucial for durability, particularly when applied to properly prepared wood surfaces.

Goal: Detail the product's excellent coverage, ease of application, and strong adhesion.

one of them is the coverage of all the stains i've ever used i don't think any stain actually covers better uh than arbor coat it's it's absolutely amazing it's a their solid color stain is a very um high solids product is about 38 solid so it does cover extremely well and i've used it from colors white and i've used it all the way to colors black and the black covered absolutely amazing was extremely impressed with uh the product itself so it does cover very well and that's one of the main things that i like about it another positive thing i want to say about the arbor coat and one of the things i do really like about it is its ability to avoid lap marks brush strokes or roller marks and there's that's one of the things with semi-transparent stains and semi-solid stains and even solid color stains that's it's very difficult to not get lap marks or roller marks and you're always trying to find logical start and stop points and you're trying to lay it out i gotta say of all the stains i've ever used arbor coat is one of the better stains when it comes to avoiding brush strokes lap marks or even roller marks so that's another really positive thing that i do like and i've used the semi-solid and i was i'm brushing that on a redwood deck and it brushed out really well and it was very very easy to avoid brush strokes or lap marks so another thing i did like about the uh arbor coach you was using a solid color stain on a redwood deck that we were sanding down and we were getting most of the stain off so we're down to bare wood and when we're applying the stain it did penetrate very well and i'll talk a little bit about you know some of the things you need to do to get good penetration because prep work is you know eighty percent of the failures when it comes to paints or stains are typically related to a lack of um a preparation so you definitely want to preparate the surface or prep prep the surface very well but when we were back brushing the product in it was getting really good penetration and really good adhesion and the adhesion quality is another thing i really like about the arbor coat it adheres very very well all right so i'll talk a little bit about the adhesion qualities and i noticed that um the the products the semi solids and the solid cutter stains have amazing penetration and adhesion for a waterborne product and just a simple little thing i know it's this is not very scientific or anything but you know how well does it adhere to your skin you…
