We will reply to your comment shortly· 09/21/2023Is the russet 200 and rustic 1516 similar in color? I spoke with a rep yesterday about staining my home and the recommended the 200 for vertical surface over the 1500, but I alreadyhad my heart set on the 1516! Haha

We will reply to your comment shortlyWe are redoing a 50 year old redwood deck. We are planing the boards to get to a smooth surface. It is pretty red but the house is brown, so I would like a color that will match the house. What color do you recommend? 100 or 1500? Do I need to let the wood age after planing? Thanks!

We will reply to your comment shortlyBrowns would be Dark Oak or Black Walnut. Use the 1500 Series.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWe're in the early phases of deciding a color scheme for deck/fence yet to be installed, so we've ordered several samples of the 100 series. Understand that we'll need to wait 4-6 months after install of the deck/fence and then use RAD before staining, but solely for purpose of the testing the samples, will the stains applied to new wood (without the dry time or RAD) be substantially the same as the wood after drying and RAD? We'll be testing our samples on cedar and pine.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe weathered and prepped wood will be slightly darker since the wood will be more absorbent. Also, if the fence is rough-cut wood, it will be much darker than the smooth decking.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have been using your 100 stains on our large deck and pergola for 5-6 years (3 times so far).
But, I also built a large heavy outside table several years ago out of Cedar. I used some natural finishes on it when I built it that don’t last. Also, the wife grew to not care for the natural graying of the Cedar. I am in the process of planing and sanding it down now to get the top level and smooth again along with filling in a couple of knots that have fallen out annd/or got soft after years of weathering.
Are your stains safe for an outdoor deck/picnic table. Maybe the 1500 series??-
We will reply to your comment shortlyDo not use wood filler. It will not stain to blend. As for the TWP, you can use the 100 or the 1500 Series. Only one coat if you sand. Do not sand finer than 60-80 grit. Sanding to fine means you will have to weather and then redo the prep as the stain will not be able to penetrate correctly.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWhat is the wood species that the colors are displayed? Is that pine? I'm applying to douglas fir so I'm trying to get a feel how it will appear.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyPine.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWe 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
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyClean 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 will reply to your comment shortlyWe 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?
-
We will reply to your comment shortly1. The TWP 1500 is not semi-solid but semi-transparent like the 100 Series.
2. 1503 Dark Oak.
The 1500 will not last any longer than the 100 Series on a deck.-
We will reply to your comment shortlyCan you stain over the 100 Series with the 1500 Series?

We will reply to your comment shortlyI 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.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes, you can lighten the Dark Oak for either series by adding the TWP Clear to it.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHello - 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?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe 1520 Pecan is lightly darker than the 120 Pecan.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHi 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!
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThere is not a matching color for Rustic. Best to sample some colors that are close and see how it looks on your wood.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWondering 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?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe only way to know how it will look for certain on your wood is to test a sample.

We will reply to your comment shortlydoes your stain come in quarts? if so where can i order. i just need touch ups

We will reply to your comment shortlyMy 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 will reply to your comment shortlyCharcoal or Cabin Fever.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWhich is darker, Boulder or Thunderstorm? Thanks!

We will reply to your comment shortlyWe 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?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou can wait at this point.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI 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?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou cannot stain the new wood yet. See here.
