Hi Mo, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear your stain's finishing color didn't look as blue as you expected, and was easily scratchable after your application; that's not the experience we want our customers to have with our products. To fix the scratched areas, we would recommend sanding down the affected areas until smooth, cleaning the surface with a concrete cleaner and degreaser, and allowing it to dry for at least 24 hours before doing your touch-ups. An overall recoat may be needed to uniform your finish and color. To verify that your colors was mixed correctly, we’d suggest checking that the physical color swatch matches the stain dab on your can's lid. If they match, the stain was properly mixed, and the color is correct. And in cases like this, the best solution would be to remove your current stain and reapply a stain in a different color. If the swatch doesn’t match the dab on your can’s lid, the color was incorrectly mixed. And we’d suggest removing your stain and recoating with one tinted to the correct color. If you'd prefer to not remove your current coating, you can recoat with our solid stain instead, as it provides a solid paint-like finish. Please keep in mind that different lighting will affect how a color looks and that our online color palette display and brochure colors may vary slightly from the actual colors due to color variances in monitor settings and the color of your wood, as there is transparency in the coating. Customer satisfaction is important to us. So, please feel free to reach out to our Customer Care team directly if you have any questions or need assistance. We're always happy to help! Have a wonderful day. –Joanna
