    We stained our deck last year with TWP 100 Series stain. The deck butts up next to our house. I have a couple of questions.
    1. Home has smooth pine siding. Haven't stained it since we owned it (3 years) and we don't know previous owners, or what the prior stain was. It is transparent, and likely hasn't been stained in over 7 years. Will we need to strip completely, or can we test it first for compatibility with staining directly after cleaning?
    2. If we strip, I assume the runoff will also strip stain on the deck? Whats the best way to prevent this ancillary damage?
    Thanks!

    Is TWP 1500 a matte or satin finish when it dries?

    TWP is not supposed to be shiny at all.

    What product would you recommend to use to clean up weathered and discolored logs prior to staining them with the TWP 1500? I have used TWP in the past but it has been several years. I live in the Monterey Bay region of central CA about 4 miles from the ocean.

    Prep with the Gemini Restore Kit and pressure washing to restore the wood before applying the TWP 1500.

    I plan to treat my log cabin and deck.
    Both are located in northern Wisconsin.
    According to this page, you recommend TWP 1500 for log homes. Can I also use 1500 for the surrounding deck?

    Also, just to be clear, TWP 1500 and TWP 100 are oil based and don't create a film on top of the log, rather, they soak into the wood, correct?[/quote]
    Yes they are both penetrating oil based stains. You can use the 1500 for both the cabin and the deck.[/quote]

    Is 1500 the recommended product for decks in northern Wisconsin? I can definitely use different products for the cabin and deck if it would last longer.

    You can use either for the deck. Both 1500 and 100 will last about the same for a horizontal surface.

    Hi I need to restrain my log house ,it's been a few years since the last time. We used sickins stain ( clear) last time , can your product be applied over old stain ? The house will be power washed before , will we have to sand the house also ?
    Please advise
    Thank you.

    You cannot apply TWP over a stain of a different brand. Best to remove the Sikkens first.
