Tucker, The 100 Series would be best for Texas. Please read this about new wood:

I was going to get Sikkens, but after reading some reviews, I'd like to try TWP for my new cedar deck. I want to get the 100 series and live in Austin, Texas. Will that work? I was going to try a sample of the Natural and the Cedartone, then I'd order a 5 gal. container. Also, can I treat the deck now, or do you recommend holding off for 5-6 months to make sure it absorbs properly?

Hard to tell precise color on the computer screen -- comparing the TWP 1500 Rustic and Cedartone. It looks like the Rustic has a slight reddish tone to it and the Cedartone is a brownish tone (no red) - is this correct? Our last color was Teak, but from another manufacturer. We prefer the brown tone, but Dark Oak is too brown.

Pecan in both series is an orangy/brown color. There is not a medium brown. Dark Oak is a dark brown. This may help:

I would like to get a nice brown deck stain without the orange tint. I ordered a sample of the Pecan 1520 and applied it on my deck. It appears to have an orange tint to it, in which it is more orange than I would prefer. Is the pecan in the 100 series (Pecan 120) a better option for a stain that is brown with less of an orange tint, or would it be similar to the Pecan 1520? Or is there a better option for a brown deck stain without an orange tint? I am looking for a stain similar to the pecan color, but more of a nice brown oak look to it.

Yes you can use an airless. Any tip will work but we like wider fans for application.

Can I use an airless sprayer for the 1500 series?

Can you recommend the proper tip size (.011, .013, .015) for spraying the 1500 series stain?

SLNorman, Cedartone 1501 is darker then the 1520 Pecan. Yes only 1500 Series in Cali.

In the TWP 1500 Series, which color is considered "darker" the Cedartone or the Pecan?

The Pecan is beautiful in the 100 series, but appears more golden in the 1500 series.

Also, live in Northern CA (San Jose) and have brand new redwood deck, because of restrictions am I limited to the 1500 series?

Thank you,
Susan

Mark P, for GA I would look at the 1500 or the 100. They last about the same.

Why there are no TWP200 samples offered?
Can I stain a 10 years old treated pine deck in Georgia with TWP1500, or which stain series will work best (and longest)?

I have a large deck made from Port Orford ceder and a covered porch made from western red ceder. live in eastern wa. not sure which product to use

Sample credits are credited after the order for a 5 gallon is placed. Just enter your sample order into the comment areas during checkout. When we process the order, we issue the credit.

I purchased 4 samples and then decided to purchase a 5 gallon container. According to the program I should get up to $15 of the sample cost applied to my order but the price reduction is not available to me.

Bret, please read:

TWP 1515 is the lightest tint.

I have a new southern yellow pine deck, i really like the way it looks wet, which twp1500 color would best match that look? I'm thinking natural or maybe honeytone. Also, as I understand I will need to clean the deck of the mill coating(?) before staining, do I also need to brighten?
