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.
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/

I have a 1000 sq ft pt deck in Massachusetts. I recently finished sanding off the solid stain from the previous owner. Is it too late in the season for me to clean and stain now? Should I wait until spring? I was planning on using the 1500 redwood.
Thanks
Bes to wait to Spring. Prep first with the Gemini Restore Kit then stain.

I have a cedar shake roof to restore. We will be repairing with new shakes in the damaged areas only. Then clean and re-stain. I'd like the Dark Oak 103 stain. Will this work for our project? Having new and old shakes on the same roof. What process and products would you recommend for the restoration of the roof?
tks/les
You can use the TWP 100 Series. Make sure to clean and brighten for the prep.

I have a new portion added to our redwood deck. The other two levels are weathered and we are going to clean and re-stain them as well. We're in Southern Montana; should we look at TWP 100 or 1500? And do it all later next year, waiting 8-12 months?
Use the 100 Series. You can do all next Spring or Summer.

Have a log home w/ Pecan Woodguard stain; have a massive amt of deck and don't want the color to compete w/ the color of the logs; maybe a dk oak or blk walnut. Deck is mostly cedar w/ some cca. Is 1500 series the best? Does this stain get slippery when wet? Part of deck is covered. We live in Kansas w/ extreme weather. Suggestions? thanks in advance.
Use the 100 Series for this. TWP is a penetrating stain so no it does not get slippery when wet.

Looking at purchasing stain for PTW pine with floorboards having weathered with some graying and bleaching out with most of the stain worn off. I live in NW PA. I am not sure which stain to purchase, 100 or 1500. The deck is on the west side of the house with full sun.
Also, looking for a medium brown semi-transparent stain that is not too much on the tranparent side and would help cover the floorboards that have weathered. The vertical surfaces are in pretty good shape. I am wondering what the pecan and rustic stains are like? Presently I have a redwood stain that I have to remove. The evenings have been getting in the low 40's lately and am wondering if the stain will dry okay also?
Thanks, Rick
You wil nee the 1500 Series for PA. Look at the Pecan and the Dark Oak. The Rustic is more if a red color. Prep well first so the weathered and of stain is removed. Temps are still good for staining.

I purchased erroneously the twp 100 I did not know that it did not have uv protection, in other words, I did not understand the allowing the wood to gray = no uv protection. So I was told by the company that sold it to me to mix 1:1 the twp 100 with the twp 101 and that will afford the uv protection that I am looking for. Is that a true statement? I would think that adding these two products would dilute the amount of uv protection thus not doing the job the 101 would do in the first place. Thanks for your help with this matter.
It would dilute the protection in half but will definitely give you protection from graying. You will be fine for a couple of years.
