Best Cabot's Paints & Varnishes

I have just finished 150sqM deck which was in bad condition in places due to full sun exposure. I cleaned it first then 2 coats. Cleaning was… Read more

hardest. I am very happy with the result after 2 weeks. The monarch Deck pad applicator made the job easy. Even cutting in. In future I will give it a clean after 6 months and maybe another coat. Saved a heap by doing it all myself and kept it simple.

Had the floors done a few weeks ago, brand new floors, sanded and coated. After third coat, floor still looks patchy, inconsistency in shine. Some… Read more

areas look like they have not seen much coating, others look quite good. Scratches easy I find. Even the vacuum cleaner (on wheels) resulted in some scratches, which is not what I expected. Not really happy with it to be honest, had expected better from such expensive brand.

Chose this product in satin to rejuvenate tired kitchen benchtops. Followed directions - applying with a short nap roller, and brush for the trims.… Read more

Concerned after first coat when parts of the job looked milky rather than clear. Upon contacting Vinnie (online project support) I was advised to use a hair dryer on it (residual moisture). Anyway, worked a treat. Much improved benchtops after third coat applied. Really like the fact that there is minimal odour associated with it. 1 Litre more than covered it (probably 200 ml left).

Easy to use, put on Pine deck with the Cabot's brush broom, that was perfect for doing two boards at a time. I would.prefer not so much orangey… Read more

colour in the tint, but otherwise good product. Did not get tacky at all like some people say. Because I applied it in Winter, I decided to let the first coat dry overnight, worked well.

The spay can version is terrible, it doesn't give a fine, even spray. Instead it spits and gives drops on the surface. I've had to sand it back once already and after the second spaying there are drops again. Very poor product. Show details

Please read reviews before buying product – I certainly wish I had read these reviews before buying and using. We wanted to change the colour of the legs of our new lounge suite which were… Read more

plain pine. It says on the tin that the grain of the wood still shows through - that seems to be untrue. After two coats - recommended by Bunnings - it was just like putting on two coats of gloss paint. We now have to return to the lounge suite manufacturer to replace the legs to the orginal - which was honestly much better.

Made timber go yellow. Have tried a few Cabot’s product and has yellowed both of the jobs. Show details

Great product – Ww loved this product. We have a deck made with celery top pine and dreaded deck week. A light Karcher, 2 coats with this and beautiful natural finish. Recommended. Took less than a day. Show details

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED – I painted the entire deck (front, back and sides). - 2 coats over 2 days - only a week ago. Today I noticed a little bit of water sitting on the… Read more

back deck so I mopped it. I noticed a little white spot - could it be bird droppings? NO - the paint had scraped off when I ran over it with a mop. A few feet away another white spot. Bird droppings? No - paint had scraped off. I examined random spots and ran over it lightly with a fingernail. Surely after a week it should have cured? NOPE. The fact that I pained it dark blue over white (which was lightly sanded and pressure washed prior to application) just makes it even worse. Im so angry! All that expense and effort for such a disappointing product. I won't be using it again and I will warn everyone else to avoid like the plague.

Very disappointed … – I’ve used many Cabot’s products before and have been very happy - until now. This product comes out of the can a milky white and, even after drying… Read more

it still has a white tint - anything but the clear I was expecting. I’m going to have to strip it off and start again - with another product. Very disappointed.

The worst spray tan for your timber furniture – The oil was supposed to have a natural finish but turned the once beautiful gum furniture orange instead requiring it to be sanded back to bare timber and there's no assistance from cabots Show details
