Wood Stain Samples

Ken F.:

Hi, we live in southern Indiana. We have a redwood deck that is 35 years old , and we are sanding with 40 grit sandpaper to remove all the old finish . I'm 65 years old and wife is 62 so we are not very fast we're in to our second week of sanding and may need another week to finish . The first wood we sanded has been rained on and is starting to lose it's red pinkish tint . What do we need to do after we finish sanded before we apply your 1500 product? We are thinking maybe the 1511 Cal. Red . Like I said we're kind of slow and don't know if we can get the second coat on before the first drys , should we try for two coats or put on one and then reapply next year? We do not want this peeling off like the last product we put on it which was Behr weather proofing wood finish. We are hoping to never have to sand again. Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated . Thanks ,Ken

Use the Gemini Restore Kit after the sanding for the final prep. Get some samples from site for colors.

If you cannot do the wet on wet application then just do one coat now and one coat next year only if needed. Best to have full penetration.

I have a 5 year old home with cedar siding with chinking between the planks which gives it a log home look. It was stained with Cabot semi transparent stain (oil) in their chestnut brown. The home is in Colorado at 7500' elevation. The UV is really strong here. The climate is relativley dry, we get very strong winter winds and the temperature can get as low as -20 and as high ass 90. The east and west side of the home is looking very thirsty and the siding is starting to turn a little dark. Will the TWP 1500 work and can you match the tint to the cabot color if we got the color formula? How long would you say the TWP would last in these conditions?

I build outdoor furniture, Swings, Picnic Tables, Chairs by order. Customers are always asking me what to use on there furniture they just bought. I use to recomend Cabot oil stain, but Lowes does not sell it anymore. I want to give them the best product available. Does your product work well on sitting type furniture. Can you help me? Thanks Norman

Yes you can use TWP on exterior wood furniture as long as the wood is prepped correctly.

I bought camp in Western PA with rough cut wood siding. It has been stained at some point with an oilbased stain or linseed oil and needs refreshed. Can I put the TWP1500 over this? Looking at the Black walnut or Dark Oak. I was planning to powerwash and apply. Any suggestions?

You need to remove the old stain first if you want the TWP to perform properly.

I have Western Red Cedar deck and want to know which stain color in the 1500 series will allow the cedar to retain it's natural appearance/color?

Thanks..

All TWP colors will enhance the natural grain of the wood. Not sure what color you want to enhance too so that is why you should test a few samples.

I'm refinishing an older redwood deck and would like a semi transparent stain. It appears that your 100 series is not legal in California. I would like to try a sample of the 1500, is that possible?

Yes just order above.

I am building a square log house in the southern Black Hills of South Dakota, the outside of the logs will be left as they came from the sawmill, the inside will be planed smooth. I would like to stain the outside a darker, kind of like a dark mahogany for UV protection and the inside a more natural color. The logs are pondarosa pine. What color do you recomend and which stain, 1500, or the 100?

Use the 1500 Series and would strongly suggest you get some samples to test. Maybe Rustic, Dark Oak, Natural, Honeytone.

I currently have woman red cedar color durastain semi transparent on my deck. It is about 4 years old. Which of the TWP 1500 series colors would cover the color I currently have?

TWP cannot be applied on top of Wolman. You would need to remove the Wolman first and that would take sanding and or stripping.

I am getting ready to stain a year old PT pine deck for the first time. A citronelle bucket candle got knocked over and the wax got on a fairly large area. Since it is beading the water up I assume cleaning normally will not remove it and the stain will not go through it. Wood sanding remove it? Any other suggestions?

Sanding is probably the only way to get it off.
