We have a deck that is probably 10 years old. We stained it a couple of weeks ago with an oil based Pittsburgh stain, there are flat and shiny spots. 5 days later we had a lot of rain and now we have muddy dog prints we cannot get rid of, we have used cleaner and scrubbed, nothing works. We are going to get a sander and take everything off the floor down to bare wood. Would you suggest using Restore a Deck stripper or cleaner after we get done sanding and then use the brightner? Also, will the stain look lighter after that? We have tried several samples and they are all darker than what we thought. What would you suggest putting back down - Kansas City MO
Clean and brighten after the sanding. do not sand finer than 60-80 grit. Only 1 coat when you sand. Color varies based on prep, age of wood, type of wood, etc.
We currently have 100 series Dark Oak and are looking to change to series 1500 to see if it last longer between applications. 1. Does 1500 last longer since it's semi-solid? 2. What color in the 1500 comes closest to matching the Dark Oak?
I have the 1503 Dark Oak and has used the products to strip and brighten . Was going to do the 103 Dark Oak - and was told it was a little lighter. But looking at these pictures of the colors above it looks much Darker than the 1503. Is there a way to achieve the color of the 1503 by adding clear to the 103 Dark Oak? Or Pecan? I really don't want it to be as dark as this shows.
Hello - your stains are the best ever! Thank you for making such great products. Question: what’s the color difference between 1500 series Pecan and 100 series Pecan?
Hi there, I just got my samples and see now that I need to go with a semi solid. What is the semi solid equivalent of Rustic? Loved the color but need more coverage. Thank you!
Wondering what black walnut 1504 will look like on this "young" fir siding.Guessing it will really darken the grain, but won't be as dark overall as the swatch shows, because of the young bright fir?
My high school agriculture classes/FFA Chapter is building a livestock barn on campus. We are going with a dark brown metal roof, and matching metal brown metal doors with white trim. We have locally sourced 3/4"X8" rough cut Eastern Red Cedar boards to put up as siding. We have the cedar boards strip stacked in our shop out of the sun. We'd like to use your semi-solid product. What color will give us the darkest brown finish. We don't expect it to match the doors...actually we want it a bit lighter.
We stripped TWP stain from old deck boards (we have a mix of new and old boards) using Restore A Deck stripper on Wednesday. Today is Friday and we have not used the Restore A Deck Brightener yet. We are waiting for the TWP Semi-Solid in Seafoam to be back in stock and we then plan on cleaning and brightening the entire deck before staining. Is this a good plan or should we brighten the deck boards we stripped now?
I have an 9 yr old 15' x 27' deck that was previously stained with Behr Cedar Natural tone semi-transparent waterproofing stain and sealer. I need to replace 25% of the boards that are rotting. Should I replace the boards first then wait, strip, brighten and stain? Or strip then replace the bad boards? With a mix of old and new wood should I use TWP 100 (I live in Georgia) or should I use a Semi-solid due to the mix of aged wood?
Does this include the semi solid offering? Which series is semi solid in? Getting ready to strip and stain exterior deck and was planning on using the semi solid stain. Which lasts longer?
Read on one of the questions TWP can not be applied over existing semi transparent stain. Is that just the clear or all products? I have a deck that was added on to another deck that was previously stained with an oil based product.
We have black aluminum balusters mounted to our deck railings. After staining with TWP semi-solid pro series will it be possible to easily wipe off any excess stain that has gotten onto the balusters?
I’m looking at 1501 Cedartone for a new deck made of treated pine. Will the Cedartone be more yellow than the sample pic? We tried 1515 Honeytone which is what our spruce ceiling and cedar posts are finished in, but it is too yellow on the treated pine.
Hi,Would you describe the color difference between the prairie gray andCapeCod gray? Do they both look gray with different undertones? I am looking for a more brown warm gray or griege than a silver cool grey. Thanks for your help.
Julie, I'm looking for the same thing. I saw a cedar sample with Cape Cod gray, and it is more cool (blue undertones) than warm (yellow undertones). The slate gray is what you're looking for, but it only comes in the 200 series. Hope this helps.
