I see there is no natural color option for the 100 series. However I see a "clear" sample option. What is the difference between natural & clear> and is there a Natural option for the 100 series? I have a deck previously stained with a natural color and would like to maintain that look.
Clear has no color and will not prevent graying. TWP 1530 Natural is tinted and is the same color as the TWP 101 Cedartone Natural. FYI, Honeytone is the lightest tint in both series.
Hi, I see you TWP100 only covers 100-200 square ft. This seems very small considering a gallon of typical stain covers 300-400 feet. Are these numbers correct? I have a 70' x 4' dock and your online calculator says I need 3 gallons for 280 feet. I figured 2 gallons would be more than enough but now I'm no longer sure.
TWP covers about 150-200 sq. feet for the first coat and 200-300 for the second coat. Coverage will vary based on the type of wood, age of wood, and application method. Our coverage rates are the same as other brands, we are just more honest about them. For your 280 sq. feet and two coats, you will need about 3 gallons.

Needing to stain a (new) 1 yr old covered deck. this will be the initial application. Looking for recommendation on using the 100 or 1500 series for this application. Also, located in KC, MO and was wondering if there were any dealers close to me.
Use the 100 Series and prep first with the Gemini Restore Kit. We ship online from our store.
I see the 100 Series'Clear'color listed on the sample sheet. I did not see it as a selection color under the 5 gallon purchase page. Is it available in 5 gal containers and if so how do I order it? Thanks
Yes it is available. It is in the drop down color choices:

Does the 100 and 1500 Clear sealant provide UV protection equivalent to your stains?
What is the difference between the 100 and the 1500 Clear products. Which should I chose? I'm looking for a product that provides superior uv protection against graying of a new deck that gets direct southern facing sunlight throughout the year. Which do you recommend or should I use the natural 1530 to get superior uv protection, as well as waterproofing? Thank you.
Clear does not provide UV protection. It must be tinted for UV protection. Read this article for more details: http://www.twpstainhelp.com/twp-1500-colors-explained/

I have a soft wood deck previously stained with Sikkens Cetol. Deck and steps are 860 square feet. I have stripped 1/2 the area of old stain. I live in Ohio. I am looking for a stain and sealer that is close to teak in color. Please recommend stripper and cleaner for remaining deck surface and stain.
Do your have the "shiny" sikkens version? Looks like a polyurethane? If so you cannot strip this effectively. You will need to sand it off. If you have the other version called "SRD" then that should strip with the Restore A deck Stain Stripper and pressure ashing. Use the brightener after. TWP does not have a teak color. Closest would be Rustic. We have samples to test from our site.

I am interested in the 1500 clear as we would like to protect a deck and house siding but maintaining the current color. We live in California. Still ok to stain or too late in the season? We have power washed the deck and siding of the house. Any additional prep required? If too late in the season, any other recommendations to get through the winter? Thank you.
The clear will not provide UV protection from graying. You will need to pick one of the semi-transparent color to achieve UV protection. The wood must be clean and free of any old coatings, oxidation/graying, dirt, etc. If your prep has achieved this then you should be good to apply the TWP stain. As for weather, temperature for application should be 50+ degrees and wood needs to be dry.

Dear Sirs, Considering TWP as a preservative oon natural wood log cabins, that are 180 years old. Of course we are concerned about maintaining there natural color and and the aged appearance. Your experience would be helpful. Thanks, Billy Dorsey
You do not want to change the appearance but protect? You are okay with the natural graying? If so then you would want the 1500 Clear.

Hi, I'm near San Francisco CA with a redwood deck. No rain yet, maybe 3 weeks away. After powerwashing are we still OK to refinish this year? Also colors - do the on-line samples reflect any base color coverage, or a texture over a white base? Thanks.
You are okay to stain. Samples on screen on on wood. See here as well for more details: http://www.twpstainhelp.com/tips/need-help/twp-color-tips/
