We recently had a pressure-treated pine fence erected in Atlanta. It is now time to stain/seal our new fence. I would prefer to use a product that preserves the natural color of the wood as opposed to applying a color. 1) Do you recommend the 100 or 1500 series, and 2) Which tone(s) (color or clear?) would best accomplish the preservation of the natural color while still doing a good job of protecting the wood?
going to get a couple of samples to test color look before ordering the 5 gallon size. Recently installed 2inch horizontal front yard fence. It was fresh redwood and some in blonde color. Noticed the sun have chnaged it's color (tanning) so will have to do it soon to protect the fence. SF/SJ Bay Area of CA Also do you special order request? I'd like to add some gray in it (to eliminate the reddish to a soft warm gray color in brown)
Sorry but we do not do special orders or custom colors. It is not possible to add gray tint into the 1500 Series and the 100 Series grays are not allowed into California so you cannot mix them together.

I live on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. Have a cedar deck and front porch that need a fresh look. Deck is 4 years old, with a stain that has not endured; porch is original on a 20 year old house, It is covered with porch roof. What products would you suggest for our damp climate, rain and long seasons of moisture?
Prep first to remove any old stain with our restoration products. Stain with the TWP 100 Series for this climate.

[quote Yes you need to weather and prep kiln dried wood if applying to the smooth side. The wait is less (1-2 months) and you need to prep the remove the mill glaze. There is more to it then just moisture content of the wood. Use the 100 Series.[/quote]
Thanks for the prompt response. Plan was to apply to the ROUGH side. Does this change the weather time, or more importantly the mill Glaze removal?
You can apply to rough side now. There is no mill glaze on rough sawn wood and you do not need to wait.

I've read good reviews about the quality of the TWP100 as well as the 1500. I like it's color retention(resistance to UV breaking down color).
I'd like to apply it to an outdoor kitchen surface that is Kiln dried 'Tight Knot' Cedar. Plan to apply to rough side. (wood is new)
Concern is the application description seems difficult. Waiting 4-12 months to acclumate, then apply some additional cost cleaner starts to make this seem less attractive.
Does the 4-12 month period still apply if the wood is Kiln Dried?
BTW: Still not clear on benefits of TWP100 vs. 1500. What do you recommend? I live in North Texas, so real hot summers and short winters.

My fence is about 6 months old and see that it is discoloring already. I have a white house with black shutters. What color stain and series do you recommend and do I have to order the stain on-line?
I live in SE Oklahoma and recently had a small porch built onto my home. The porch was built with pressure treated pine that has a "yellow color to it at this time and it is trimmed out with cedar. The siding on my home is a log looking siding that I assume is pine also, it is sealed with a cedar tone stain that has held up well. I also had new fascia boards installed and they are cedar. In addition to the new porch and fascia boards I have an older shed with rough cut cedar siding that needs to be sealed and stained., Which of the TWP products would be best for these applications the 100 or the 1500? I plan on using the restore a deck on all of the surfaces. Thanks for the information.
Use the 100 Series for both. Please read this about new wood: http://www.twpstainhelp.com/prepping-new-wood-for-twp-stains/
