Wood Stain Samples

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

I already asked about promo codes, but the other question is, we have a large porch in VT with old paint 50% fallen off. We will use a pressure washer to remove the paint, and your Safe Strip product. Is TWP 1500 rustic the right product once we have removed the paint?

Once all the old coating is removed you can use any of the TWP colors. We do not have any promo codes at the moment.

Juanita Jo:

Have a large multi-layer old (some parts 25 years) deck looking to stain/protect but want a subtle color. Boards have greyed and we have brightened. What color TWP do you recommend and do you recommend 100 or 1500 series? Am in rural central Virginia. Full to partial sun.

Use the TWP 120 Pecan for this.

Tom Zundel:

Can I get a swatch sample?

Only small bottles.

We had our wood fence painted in Sept2008
The painters estimate said he used
TWP color Cedartone Natural with Rustic
We had to replace a section of the fence do to storm damage and would like to match the previous color and the color of the rest of the fence. can you help

No such thing as Cedartone Natural with Rustic. They are two different colors. He may have mixed them together himself.

I have a home in NC built in the 1800's. The covered north facing porch floor was replaced in the 1980's. I have sanded off the 3 layers of paint. Now want to stain it with a dark stain that will show the natural wood grain. It is a historic home and I want to do all I can to protect it. It sees a lot of traffic but little sun. No problems with mold or graying up to this point. Since sanding it, it looks brand new! Which stain would best protect the deck for another 100 years? For maintenance, I prefer something that I can simply restain every few years.

Look at the 1503 Dark Oak.

Barry Fouts:

The colors labeled "stormshield"....what's different?
I want samples for a PT deck sticking out into the Atlantic....I could use stormshield if that refers to protection level.

Storm Shield is a different product. Use the TWP 100 or 1500.
