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

What happens here

The reviewer continues to praise Arborcoat's ease of application, noting that it performs well whether sprayed (using a 515 tip), rolled, or brushed. He also highlights its low overspray when applied with a sprayer, which reduces cleanup and prevents accidental paint drift onto surrounding areas. He shares a personal anecdote about how difficult the semi-solid stain was to remove from his hands after a long day of painting, illustrating its strong adherence—a scientific indicator, he jokingly suggests, of its durability on substrates. He notes that the product does not remain tacky, unlike some oil-based alternatives, which can attract dust and footprints.

Goal: Illustrate the user-friendliness of Arborcoat across various application methods and its quick, non-tacky drying properties.

also so another thing i do like about the arbor coat is the ease of application so i've actually sprayed it through an airless sprayer i've rolled it and i've brushed it in all three applications that i've done uh it actually functions and works very very well and when it's spraying we typically spray and back brush when i was spraying it i was spraying it with a smaller tip like a five uh i think it was a 515 tip the last time i was spraying it and we were back brushing it and it sprayed back bro back brushed very well and penetrated you know into the surface area where we're doing a um house with it and then i was using it on a fence and the penetration was excellent it sprayed well there wasn't a lot of over over spray a lot of times you'll get cheap products with not very high solid contents content and when you're spraying them you'll get a lot of um overspray in the air a lot of fallout on the ground so there wasn't an excessive amount of overspray when spraying the product so you definitely can spray it you definitely can brush it and you definitely can roll it so i'll talk a little bit about um the arbor coat itself in arborico once again it's a wa the product i've been using it's a waterborne product it's a modified acrylic resin that cleans up with soap and water and it also has gen x technology and you're going to see that on the can and i'm sure a lot of people are going to say well what the heck is gen x um technology and and gen x technology is benjamin moore created their own color colorants using the gen x technology and what that does is they have zero voc products and a lot of cheap generic tents or colorants that go into paint they'll add them in they're not zero vlc so now you're adding vocs to the product so in order to keep their products at zero vlc levels they created uh gen x technology and these colorants do not have any vlcs in them so there's zero voc and these colors also remarkably resist fading so they they hold their color extremely well so you know if you want your colors to still look true you know two years from now indoors you know you definitely want to use benjamin products with gen x technology another thing about gen x
