Glenn Davis:

I'm looking to add TWP to my year old cedar fence. Which product would work best, 100 or 1500? Also, I wanted to use clear but see there is no UV protection so I wondering if the clear can be mixed 50/50 with the Honey tone or cedar tone to provide some UV protection. I want to prolong the wood from graying. I have approximately 300 linear ft of 6 ft high shadow box style fence. Can you provide an estimate on how many gallons? Thank You!

To get sq footage of a fence you should multiply length x height x 2 for both sides. Coverage is about 125 sq. feet per gallon for two coats of the TWP. Use the 1500. It would be best to not dilute with clear as that means you are going to lower the UV protection. You can do it but your longevity will be cut in 1/2.

I live in Southgate Michigan by Detroit and was looking for something that would last. Im redoing this deck every year and its been grueling. Also i wanted something with a thicker color. Not a paint but not a transparent light stain.

We do not have thicker colors but darker or richer. You would want the TWP 100 Series.

What is shelf life of the the 1500 series?
I have material left over from last staining about one year ago.

Depends on how it was stored. Please read this:

Please tell me what to do with our decks & railings.
We have a treated wood deck & a 1 yr old connected. What should we do to make it look the same? Also Should we use something different for the rails & spindols?

Use the Gemini Restore Kit if no previous stains on the wood for the prep. Stain with either the 100 or 1500 Series.

I have been using Olympic product for years in Connecticut. Recently ran across this exploring other options.
Which product do you recommend for Comnecticut?
Olympic usually lasts two years.
Deck has Olympic Semi transparent with some residual stain.

Strip off the Olympic and brighten the wood as well. Stain with the TWP 1500 for CT.

I,m being told that you cant use TWP in new york is this true. if i can use TWP what should i use for a new pressure treated pine deck 12 mo old 100 series or 1500

The TWP 1500 Series is allowed in NY, not the 100 Series.

Linda Gribus:

I have a 12yr old treated wood deck. though the years i have used soild stain in cedar. Can I just go over it with TWP or can I strip it first? Linda

You cannot apply TWP on top of a solid stain. You would need to sand off the solid stain as solid stains do not strip off effectively.
