Wood Stain Samples

I have a 15 x 20 new PT Southern Yellow Pine extension to my original deck which was 6 years old in North Carolina. I have cleaned and brightened the old portion of the deck and am choosing between the 1500 Dark Oak or Black Walnut OR the 100 Cape Cod Grey because I have dark chocolate furniture that will be placed on it. Would any of these colors pose a problem in showing the difference in age of the two deck portions? I can't find any customer pictures of the Black Walnut or Cape Cod Grey online. Can you help with that?

Steve, I would use the 1500 Series for this deck and boathouse in Texas. Make sure to prep first with the Gemini Restore Kit first.

I have a pressure treated pine deck and boat house that has "seasoned" for two years. I am thinking of using TWP 100 Series or TWP 1500 Series.

Which do you recommend? This is in Texas
East of Dallas. Lots of heat, humidity and direct sun.

The wood should not be gray. Best to use the Gemini Restore Kit for the proper prep.

Hi,

- Used Timber Ox Green in Russet color 2 years ago. Very disappointed as color faded very badly on a deck that gets 2 - 4 hours of sun/day.

- Used Olympic Premium deck cleaner yesterday and pressure washed. Deck looks uniformly (very)gray now . Would I be ready to go with TWP 1500?

Thanks,

Yes you can use TWP in Colorado. For the prep you should remove the old stains first by using a stripper or sanding.

hi - we have a nearly 15 year old deck and have tried various stains -- believe it is redwood. Direct sun -- south facing in Durango Colorado. Is TWP allowed in Colorado and with the house cedar stained would you recommend Cedartone? Last stain has been absorbed in most places - assume we would sand and redo. thanks Pat

150-200 s. feet for 1 coat.
100 s. feet for two coats wet on wet.

TWP 100 cannot be shipped to IN. The 1500 can. Clears will not give you UV protection from graying.

what is the formula for determining amount of stain you will need for a wooden deck? I think I'm going to use the clear TWP 100 (Indiana).

Brad, try the TWP 1500 for this.

John, at this point I would use the Restore A Deck Stripper with a pressure washer to remove the buildup of TWP. Brighten when done. This way the TWP Dark Oak will penetrate better and look uniform.

I have always used TWP100, 3-4 times now, each getting about 2 years. Top of railing shows little stain now. 100% direct sun. Should I sand it before applying another coat? Should I clean it or simply put another coat on. I have been using cedar tone, but I want to switch to the dark oak, any issues?
thanks

I am in north-central Alabama (hot and humid) with a combination of some new and some two-year-old pressure treated pine and western red cedar. Some of the old wood has failed Flood brand stain that will be stripped before new stain is applied. Which TWP stain would be best to use? Thanks.

CAN YOU SEND ME A PHONE NUMBER TO CALL YOU TOMORROW I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS BEFORE I ORDER...THANK YOU

Can the TWP 1500 series stain be used on rough Douglas Fir previously stained with Olypic oil stain?

Hi.

I am in the proces of re-staining a cedar deck. About 600 square feet in Kansas, partial summer sun, full winter sun. I will be stripping SW Deckscapes Oil based stain with the Restore-A-Deck stipper and brightner and reapplying TWP 100 in eitehr cedar or redwood.

My question is would I treat this asa first time application of the TWP, meaning only 1 coat, or can I do a wet on wet two coats on the floor?

Any other advice you'd give?

Thanks. Jeff

Hi, the Cedartone and Cal Red colors for TWP 1500 look almost identical to me. What is the difference? I'm putting this on a new redwood deck and would like it to be as natural looking as possible, not too red. Which would you recommend? Thanks.
