Wood Stain Samples

IS RUSTIC 1516, DARK 1503 OR BLACK OAK 1504 BEST FOR A 10 YEAR OLD DECK NOW COVERED IN SOME AREAS BY A DARK CHESTNUT " ONE TIME " WOOD PROTECTION STAIN? I DESIRE THE DARKER COLOR, HOWEVER, AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE COLOR OF THE NEW TWP 1500 DARK STAIN OVER IT ONCE CLEANED?? THANKS, WGJ

Dick, colors vary so it would be best to get a sample or two to test first. Please read this about staining new wood:

I have a new pressure treated pine deck and need your recommendation on the recommended product.
I am looking at the redwood 1502 color - How will it look with pressure treated pine. How long is the estimate time it will last on a covered boathouse(sides exposed). deck wood is smooth.

Storm Shield is water based while the TWP 1500 is oil based. I would stick with the 1500.

what are the differences in Storm shield and the 1500 series

any of the TWP colors will enhance. I would look at Redwood, California Redwood, Natural, etc. Spindles can be applied with a sprayer then back brushed or done with a brush.

I have a 20 year old redwood deck that I just completed cleaning and now want to stain. The redwood color has faded. I want to bring the original redwood color back. What can you recommend? I have a large deck, approx. 1000sf. Also, what is best way to apply stain to 1x1 slats in railing?

I am not sure what your question is.

i used behr wook deck stain redwood semi-transparent i think not sure if it was semi or transparebt

TWP suggests waiting 4-12 months for new wood to weather. You can remove any graying with the Restore-A-Deck kit.

Just finished cedar deck in WA state, considering staining with TWP 1500. Would you suggest staining now or waiting until next spring? Concerned about graying if we wait.

I would use the TWP 1500 Series.

I live in western NY and have a new pressure treated pine deck built last fall. I am now ready to stain it. The deck is about 2ft - 3ft above ground level and has full southern sun exposure (of course in Buffalo that\'s irrelevant in the winter!). Is the 1500 series or storm shield the better choice?

Best to apply wet on wet for an even application. TWP can be sprayed, brushed, or a stain pad can be used to apply. Do not puddle and apply evenly. Thicker is not better.

I am considering buying the TWP 1500 series to my new deck. Is there a somewhere on your website information about how to apply your product? Any \"Tips\" for first time users, etc.?

No it does not.

Does 1500 come in Prarie Gray?

Either would be fine. The 1500 would give a little better color retention.

I applied series 100 (115 honeytone) to a new cedar deck two years ago and it now needs re-coating. After cleaning, but not stripping, do you recommend that I use series 100 again or the 1500 series?

I stain my deck 3 yrs ago with a Behr Premium weather proofing stain with a 6 years life. After the first year wherever UV rays hit the deck the stain pealed and flaked. I have pressure washed the deck and the top deck is mostly free of old stain but the lower is mostly covered with old stain. To use your products does all the old stain have to be removed for it to perform and look good? current color is redwood.
