need help with twp color to choose. I have a mahogany porch and want to keep the natural color and wood grain. I tried a sample of twp natural and it seems to be too dark. Any suggestions? I understand tha clear does not give the UV and appearance protection as the color stains. Thank you
The lightest tint is the Honeytone but it will enhance/darken the grain of the wood as well. It is impossible to have UV protection with a clear.

I have used Cabots Deck Stain and it gives the wood a nice rich color, but was not as pleased with its durability. I have also used TWP101 Cedartone and it absorbed well but am not at all pleased with the color. Is masks the wood tone and is very flat. I assume this is due to the pigment. It I were to switch to Natural 1530 would I get a richer look, like you get when you add linseed oil to a wood? Does 1530 have any pigments? Am I giving up UV protection with 1530?
TWP 101 and TWP 1530 are very close in color. None of the TWP colors will mask the grain but highlight the grain. All are flat with no sheen. Please read these articles for better explanation on the colors: http://www.twpstainhelp.com/tips/need-help/twp-color-tips/

Are custom colors available? I am looking for a very red stain to go over a chocolate brown stain that is currently on my cedar home. Any suggestions? I am looking for a Cape Cod red, kind of like dried blood (sorry for the reference but the color is perfect). I thought a bright red over the brown might just give me the color I want. What do you think? Thanks, Eva Shaw
We are interested in learning more about your product for an outdoor furniture application. Do any of your products provide any type of gloss or more of a matte finish? If not, do you recommend any products that can be applied on top of TWP if that look is desired? Does TWP provide protection from food and beverage spilling in addition to weather/UV protection? Interested in cape cod gray, prairie gray, natural and clear. Thanks.
TWP has no shine and a gloss product cannot be added on top. This would probably not work for this scenario.
We built a new deck with kiln pressure treated wood. Do we need to wait before staining or can we stain it immediately?
Also, is there a dealer in the NW Atlanta area to purchase the TWP stain? Your product has been highly recommended by a person whose neighbor used TWP and their deck looks great after a number of years.
Thank you!

Kiln dried should season a month and prepped first with the Gemini Restore Kit. Stain with only 1 coat of the 100 stain. We are an online dealer.
28 year old cedar deck. Rebuilt deck floor 6 months ago with treated pine, nothing applied. Handrails still original. Now will clean rails. Will TWP 1500 be suitable for both rails and deck.

I'm looking for a product to use on painted wood carvings from white pine. I would need the clear, but I'm not sure which would be better, the TWP 100 or 1500. Which would you suggest and why? I want to protect from the weather and if possible insect infestation. It would've for outside use

Question about color - I used Behr transparent weatherproofing stain (color -2 gallons Natural mixed with 1 qt Cedar Naturaltone) and really like the color. How does the semi-transparent colors compare to transparent? How do these colors compare to Behr stain colors?
TWP colors are different then Behr. It will not look the same as your mixture.
