Wood Stain Samples

Merrilee Curry:

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.

Jerald Smith:

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.

Janice Franklin:

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.

James Fazenbaker:

House is cob-blasted and washed and ready for stain. Keep hearing horror stories of all types of stains except TWP. Was wondering which type "series" of stain to use on the cedar siding?

Use the 1500 Series or the 100 Series for a vertical cedar sided house.

Tammy Shaffer:

I am staining a fence. How do I calculate how much stain to buy?

Length x height x two if doing both sides to get total sq. footage. 100-125 sq. feet per gallon if doing 2 coats. 150-200 sq. feet per gallon if doing one coat.

Charles J cerami:

I have a 5 yr old that I used Behr stain twice . Fifty percent peeled off. we are going to replace about 15 board that are cracked and sand the remaining boards to orginal wood.

Do you have a crack filler ? Also a solution to put on the wood before we stain using TWP 1500?
The problem is we have sun light on the deck most of the day and what stain would you suggest for the best UV protection?

We are thinking about using the Redwood 1502 or the Rustio 1516 What color would you advise for best coverage . Also we have a 1500 sq deck how much stain do you think we need?

Any advice you can give would be appreciated

We previously emailed the Stain Depot but they never replied

Give us a call 908-303-3584 or email

You cannot use a crack filler or any pre application prodcut before applying TWP. The colors you mentioned are both nice. coverage is the same for both colors. You will need about 10-15 gallons for two coats and 1500 Sq. Feet. Stain Depot is not an authorized dealer.

MIRV:

How red is the Rustic 1516. Want to go with a red color for our new redwood deck but maybe not as extreme as Redwood. So liked the description of hte Rustic 1516 but wanted to know how brown it is. Is it mainly red??

Rustic is red with a hint of brown.

Sig:

Thinking I would like to slightly darken the honeytone with pecan. Two questions - will a sample size quantity of the pecan be sufficient to darken the honeytone by a couple of shades?

Then how fast to samples ship and what is the delivery time to Flint MI

No it will not be enough to darken. Shipping to flint is 1-2 days.

Susijo:

We are trying to decide between TWP and Armstrong Clark. Deck is 8 yrs old, not in bad shape but dry/cracks because previous homeowner did not stain/seal it. Eastern PA, south-west sun exposure, snow and ice in winter. Considering a darker brown or gray (house siding is gray with white trim).

Also wondering if samples are available for the Armstrong Clark, if that is preferable over TWP for an older/weathered deck.

If TWP is better, is TWP 100 series acceptable for PA?

You can only use the 1500 for PA.
