AI Review Summary Based on 75 reviews

Customers frequently report excellent performance and water resistance for Cuprinol products, particularly on sheds and fences over multiple years. Many praise the color range and durability, with some noting easy application and good coverage. However, a substantial number of reviews highlight serious issues including extremely poor adhesion, paint washing off within weeks, significant color mismatches between tin and applied finish, and products being too thin or watery. This indicates inconsistent quality control or formulation problems affecting user experience.

Cuprinol Non Slip Decking Stain-buyer beware

Cuprinol Non Slip Decking Stain Yes its non slip but everything sticks to it Impossible to clean I had previously used oil to protect my deck and after 16 years decided to switch to a non slip paint I sanded my deck thoroughly and applied 3 coats of this stain over a 4 5 days period Did not walk on it for about 5 days and the minute we moved a patio chair the pain chipped Our dog is old and the deck is chipped everywhere from him walking on it Even the handrails are chipping I spoke to cuprinol customer service who told me that the product is not suitable for a deck that has previously been oiled even if sanded as you never get all the oil out of the wood This is not stated on the tin and the salesman who sold it to me never mentioned it The product is actually non slip but everything sticks to it Dog hair fluff It never looks clean I m so disappointed as it s not a cheap product It s also a lot of work to treat a deck and the result is shabby Cuprinol advised me to sand the the whole thing again on and only use oil As I used a black stain it will be nearly impossible to get it all off I was offered a discount on the oil but I will never buy a cuprinol product again Update I just used the left over stain on a small decking area that had been treated with Fencelife a year ago Same story the minute I walked on it the stain came off

Does well

We have used Cuprinol decking oil some years ago as well as recently - Put loads brush it in well We did this left it rather wet to soak in as we only got chance at it once Have to say it did very well again We used more than twice the guided amount again yet our decking woods were very dried out in dire need I would eventually rather choose a nice large stone aggregate with huge no need to cement paving stones though the decking was already with the property upon purchase

I experienced a slight challenge with

I experienced a slight challenge with the coverage of the Shades white daisy paint and had to contact customer service I was thoroughly impressed with their handling of the situation they were absolutely fantastic and resolved everything Despite this minor hiccup I remain a loyal customer We ve used plenty of this brand s products on our glamping cabins both inside and out with fantastic results Although this set me back a day I still wholeheartedly recommend the product
