TWP 1500 Series 5 Gallon

Quoting Peter Pass:

I have a 400 square foot presure treated deck over salt waterthat is 10 years old. I am plnning on 2 coats of TWP 1500 and would like to know how quickly can I start the second application? I will be using a rollor for the first coat and a brush for the second.
The deck has not been treated in + 5 years and is dry. We just completed a thouough cleaning and brightening.

Re:
The TWP must be applied wet-on-wet, that is you will need to apply the second coat before the first one dries out. An air spray gun is the preferred method, if you do not have one, or want to invest in one, then an spray pump can be used instead.

Properly prepared my 1500 square ft deck 2 years ago following instructions using Behr Stain. By early the following spring most of the decks were pealing/flaking . I live in New York State south of Buffalo and get all weather conditions. The pressure treated deck wood has weathered but is structurally sound. What is the recommended stripper and stain that you would apply? The TWP sounds like my best bet. I may even rent a belt sander to do the 1500 sq feet of decking not counting the 400 balusters and deck rails and posts! The verticals did hold up better than the horizontal areas so this will require even more stripping than the decking. Please recommend best approach.

I'm not sure which I'm going to get yet.

Does this require the preciously mentioned prep work including sanding?

1. 2 coats wet on wet.
2. Not when reapplying the TWP on top of TWP, just when switching brands.

Typically is reapplied every 2+ years.

1)I live in new england. The deck is in direct sunlight about 25% of the time. between deck, stairs and railings, i probably have aboud 850sq ft of surface to cover.

How many coats do you recommend?

thank you,

I'm looking to buy TWP 1500 Series for a 9month old weathered cedar deck. I also want the deck to be water sealed. Do I need to purchase a sealer as well, or with the 1500 Series be sufficient?

Just had a new cedar deck built. What color in the 1500 series will make the cedar just look wet?

We are in the process of building our log home and it is almost complete. We are using TWP 1500 for the exterior. (Natural) Can TWP 1500 also be used for the interior vertical wood log wall sides ? We\'d like to go with TWP 1500 Honeytone for the interior but not sure if it can be used on interior wood.

Thanks !

I put a coat of 1500 series stain on my deck. I am noticing some very small bubbles on the serface in some spots. Should I ignore this or try to brush htem out? What causes this situation? The first half of the deck did not have this occurence and dried in about 42 hours. It has been about 24 hours since I did the second half and that is where the bubbles are appearing.

Thank you!

Should I coat the new PT wood along with the old, or wait for it to age some before staining?

It is not possible to match new and old wood with a stain. It will eventually but not the first time you stain the wood.

We had to replace some boards on an older deck. We are using redwood color to blend with previous stain. Should I coat the new PT wood along with the old, or wait for it to age some before staining? I would rather have it look weird temporarily rather than have a permanent difference in color.

Can new 1500 series be used over 500 series that has been discontinued? We are ready to restain, but fearful that this won\'t adhere.

Do you have free samples? I am not sure what color I want.

Will the new 1500 work over the 100 series?

I am going to be quoting re-staining a log home job in Oregon, and they have used TWP twice now but it is only lasting 4-5 years. I plan on pressure washing the home(3900sf), let dry for several days, spray on and brush in. Will this procedure help to make it last longer? I Don\'t know what they have used in the past (color or 100 series) last stained in 2008. Thanks for your advice.

I am preparing to clean and stain my pressure treated wood dock. The dock is over saltwater and of course takes full sun.

1) Is the Restore-a-Deck kit appropriate for pressure treated wood?

2) For this application is the 100 series or 1500 series stain recommended?

3 ) I have already ordered samples of the 1500 series. If it is recommended to use the 100 series, will the color samples of the 1500 series be representative of the color I will see with the 100 series?

4) The dock is approximately 1200 square feet. I plan to apply with a sprayer. Most likely, it will start drying before I complete the first coat. Will it get tacky and can I walk on it to apply the second coat or do I need to let it dry completely before applying the second coat?

Thank you!

Since we have started cleaning the deck today, do you know of a merchant north of Denver, Co. that sells your product. I ask for if I order it today over the internet, it may not arrive until next week.

I would like to return to TWP this season. Great product.
