    After I perform the gemini clean and brighten to existing deck, do I need to need to stain within 1 week or 2 weeks...or what would be max timeline I can wait before staining. Sometimes the rain pushes staining back till the next weekend.
    Thanks

    We have an old pine deck. We've removed all the paint and primer and did an overall good sand with a floor sander. I needed to go over some of the boards were the paint/primer was really sticking with a belt sander. Now those boards look very new, while others are more gray. Do I need to sand down the gray boards? We intend to order the RAD kit to clean and brighten. If I don't sand the gray boards down more, will the RAD kit help even out the look once we stain?

      The RAD prep kit will remove the gray. No need to sand.

        Thank you! All things considered, I live in Colorado with full sun and snow. I have access to the 100 series, but I have my eye on the honeytone in the 1515. Do you recommend the 100 or 1500? What color in the 100 would be closest to the 1515? Also, will left over stain in the 5 gallon bucket last a few years?

          TWP Stains · 04/08/2019
          TWP 115 Honeytone is the correct stain for this in CO. No, opened containers will not last a few years.

    My deck was stained 3 years ago with TWP 1500 series. I would like to clean and brighten it with Restore a Deck. Is it okay to apply this product without staining?

      If you use the RAD cleaner and brightener than you will need to restain.

    I am going to replace boards on a dock with cedar. I left them outside for 5 months until December and have been in the garage since. I will clean them off as they are graying before staining. Do I stain both top and bottom since will be over water or just the top? How long a drying time before staining?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      TWP Stains · 04/07/2019
      Just the top. After prep, wait 48 hours to stain.

    Every 2 years I have power washed and stained my cedar deck. In 2017, I used the 1500 series. Was thinking of stripping the deck this year instead of just cleaning before staining. Is the RAD stripper safe for cedar? Thanks.

    Do I use the same cleaner and brightener on cedar siding, shakes, and pressure treated lumber?

    When using the RAD Stripper & Brightener will it damage glass (windows) or vinyl siding?

      It will not but rinse well to remove all dirt and soap residue when done.

    My cedar deck was built last summer and has grayed over the winter. I want to brighten it back to its natural color but don’t want to use a pressure washer. I figured on scrubbing it with a brush and sanding it before applying a TWP stain. Should I use the deck cleaner or just the brightener or both?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      TWP Stains · 03/27/2019
      Use both cleaner and brightener but a pressure washer will make this much easier. You have to remove all of the oxidized wood fibers and scrubbing alone will be difficult.

    It has been 1.5 yrs since applying the initial coat (Sept 2017) of TWP 1500 series. I am planning on applying a maintenance coat of the same series and color this spring. I have a couple questions.

    I was told to use the Restore-A-Deck Kit (cleaner & brightener). Is that correct or should I just use a cleaner before applying a maintenance coat?

    Since I am only applying a maintenance coat, I will only need to apply the stain to the horizontal boards, correct?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      TWP Stains · 03/27/2019
      Use both. If verticals are good, just do the horizontals.

    I applied 100 Rustic Oak 2 years ago and I am looking to do 100 Dark Oak this year. Do I need to strip and start over even though I am going darker or can I use this RAD kit? Thanks.

    We stained our fence 4 years ago with the TWP cedar tone stain. It has held up well but needs to be restrained this year. What is the process we need to use to do that if we plan to use the same TWP cedartone color stain?

      Prep with the Gemini Restore Kit prior to reapplying is correct.

    Removing TWP California Redwood, 2 years old. Sounds like cleaner will do.

      Only if you are using the same color and Series. If switching colors or Series, you will need to strip and brighten for the prep.

    Do need to strip off old stain before using cleaner or does the cleaner do that?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      TWP Stains · 01/22/2019
      How to prep varies on what brand and type of sealer you are removing. If not TWP, then you have to strip and or sand to remove. A cleaner will not strip. You do not need to use both a cleaner and stripper. Either or based on what is needed.

    Does the wood need to be dry prior to using Gemini RAD? Our forecast is finally showing a few days of clear weather after about a week of rain. Do I need to let the deck dry before cleaning (in preparation of staining a couple of days later), or can I clean as soon as the rain stops and the standing water goes away? Thanks!
    • We will reply to your comment shortly

      The deck can be damp when you are doing the prep. Does not need to be dry.

    I just received an email from twpstain.com that winter is almost here and fall is good time to treat deck to fresh coat of stain. Do I need to strip the old coat to apply the fresh coat of stain? Same question for Spring?

      You use the pressure washer while using the Gemini Kit.

    I have a new pressure treated retaining wall that was installed 5 months ago. It's not weathered looking but it will absorb water so I believe it's ready to be stained. Do I need to use the deck cleaner or can I just use the brightener?

      You need to remove the mill glaze and that consists of both a cleaner and then a brightener. A brightener alone will not work.

    If used with Gemini kit and TWP 120 how long will it last before having to reapply

      2-3 years is normal for a deck. Longer on vertical wood.
