We will reply to your comment shortlyI have sprinkler water stains on 2 year old cedar fence. I will stain shortly for first time. Any advice on removing these water stains before applying TWP? Thank you.

We will reply to your comment shortlyThose stains look deep into the wood grain. Use the kit following the directions but when it comes to the brightener, leave it on and do not rinse. Really saturate those water spots with the brightener.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyCan I stain on top of brightener without rinsing at all, or are you saying leave it on an extended time before rinsing? Thank you for your help. I am sending 2 more pictures of similar stains. same advice on these?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyAfter the brightener dries you can stain about 48 hours late. Just apply and let it dry into the wood. Do same for all wood.

We will reply to your comment shortlyOk, our cedar deck has had 4 months to cure from mill glaze. I have a window of 7 days of 70 degree weather to prep with the cleaner, dry and apply the twp cedartone 101.
Will the stainless cable or nuts/washers react to the cleaner if oversprayed or dripped on? Will two or three days of dry time be enough before applying stain? Thanks for your help or idea's as we want to do it right the first time!!-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe cables should be okay but always test spot first to be certain. 2-3 days of drying after prep will work.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have to divide my deck staining project into two portions. I don't have questions about the TWP100, but do about the Gemini kit. If I clean/brighten one portion and then stain; what happens if i get the Gemini products on the newly stained deck while cleaning the other portion?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIt will not harm newly applied stain.

We will reply to your comment shortlyDo we need to cover our house with plastic so that house paint is not stripped on our front porch before using Restore A Deck? What about plants around porch? Thanks
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe Gemini Restore Kit is not a stripper and will not remove paint.

We will reply to your comment shortlyhave a pier on Chesapeake Bay that needs to be redone - sanding off a bad stain job and replace with semi transparent stain. Im told oil based is best. Im in Maryland and dont want to redo every year. I get lots of wind, water and sun all year. I guess no TWP 100 for me? Whats the difference between and which would you choose.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyHello, only the TWP 1500 is allowed in MD. After the sanding, make sure to clean and brighten the wood with the Gemini Restore Kit. Wait 48 hours after that for staining.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlySo it would appear that there’s a difference in the chemicals between the 100 to 200 and the 1500 series. Is the 1500 oil based sorry I can’t look it up the moment but I’m told that oil based is the best for longevity and the heavy weather areas
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe 200, 100, and 1500 Series are all oil-based stains.

We will reply to your comment shortlyLast summer I meticulously sanded my deck, cleaned and brightened it, and applied TWP 1516 Rustic stain. Now that the snow has melted, I want to be sure that I don't inadvertently ruin last year's work. Do I need to apply a new coat of TWP each year? Do I need to clean and brighten it each year? What is the ideal maintenance routine to follow without overdoing it or under-doing it?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyEvery 2-3 years for reapplying is normal. See this for more info: https://www.twpstainhelp.com/applying-a-maintenance-coat-of-twp/

We will reply to your comment shortlyDo i need this product for a new bamboo fence?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe TWP 100, 1500, and 200 Series that we sell cannot be applied to bamboo. Just an FYI.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a pressure treated deck that was stained with TWP 5 years ago. I'll be reapplying with the same product this spring. Can I use a pressure washer to clean the deck?
I was looking at the application procedures and noticed 1-2 coats needed. How can I tell if a second coat is required? how long between applying first and second coat-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes, you can pressure wash but you will need to use the Gemini Kit as well.
TWP is applied 2 coats wet on wet. The first coat is applied lightly and another light second coat is applied within 20-60 minutes of the first coat. Apply only as much as the wood can absorb.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI need to restain a 12 year old pine log home in North Carolina, always stained with Wolmans F&P oil based semi transparent. Last stained 5 years ago at which time the home was chemically stripped using a Wolman product which included heavy brushing. Could I use TWP 1500 semi transparent and how would I properly prep the logs. The house is in pretty good shape, but the Wolmans has faded. Thank you.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou would need to remove the Wolmans. Use the Restore A Deck Stripper and Brightener kit for this. Apply and pressure wash off. Once removed, you can use the TWP 1500 Series.

-
We will reply to your comment shortlyhow long do you need to wait after cleaning to stain? Alternatively is there a period of time you would not want to exceed before applying stain?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyStain about 48 hours after prep. Stain within 2 weeks of prep. Window is 2-14 days.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI need to clean mildew off my cedar deck that was stained with 100 Series in the Spring. What's the best cleaning solution to use without having to apply another coat of stain again?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyTry dish soap and warm water. Lightly agitate with a soft bristle car wash brush.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a two month old deck that the cedar hand rails are already starting to show tiny mildew/mold spots. How should a prep? Can I just sand and then use a 1:5 bleach solution?

Installed pressure treated knotty pine just in August. I am waiting 4 months before staining. Should I just pressure wash before staining? Deck will not be very dirty at all. Do I need this product or something else?
You need the Gemini Kit as well to prep new wood:

For the restore kit, should we be using a measuring cup used for dry ingredients or liquid to get the correct 6oz per gallon? Im probably overthinking this, Thanks though.
It is measured by volume, not weight, so just use a measuring cup. -
