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?
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.
I just replaced all deck rails and flooring on my deck with 2x6 cedar. IMO question is how long do I need to wait to stain it and is there a moisture content spec I should be working towards. I own a moisture meter I use for wood working so should be able to accurately measure status. The deck is small and serves as a walkway into the house and a small area for grilling and sitting. I plan on using a solid stain and have order a sample of Cape cod gray to see if it matches the house or at least blends with the current house color.
I recently built a new redwood fence and let it age for a year before I cleaned and brightened it. I just applied the 1500 Natural color thinking this would be the best option as I wanted to highlight the "natural" color of the redwood or maybe make it a little golden red as it says in the description "golden". The actual color is basically just brown. Neither my wife or I like the brown color much and would like a red redwood look without it being too dark. Please recommend before I purchase more. thanks for your help!
I will soon be installing kiln dried Douglas Fir vertical grain flooring on a covered porch. Normally, porch flooring is prepped by coating the wood prior to installation to help prevent drawing moisture from underneath the floor. However, I've read that TWP products should not be applied for several months to allow the wood to "adjust" or dry out. What is your recommendation? Should I apply a coat of the TWP 100 product prior to construction or should I use a waterproofing product such as Thompsons Water Seal prior to construction? Painting the underneath side of the porch after construction is not an option. Thanks.
Thom, you should remove the Olympic first with the Restore A Deck Stain Stripper and a light pressure washing. Brighten when done. Once prepped and no old stain is left then you can apply the TWP 100 or 1500.
I have been using Olympic semi transparent stain on my cedar deck but it fades too quickly. After washing and drying my deck, which of your products can be applied over my old cedar deck? Thanks.
We have a 20 year old deck that we have always used CWF cedar tone on;CWF appears to have been bought out by Flood and the color is now much lighter. We are looking for a product we can put on without completely stripping the wood. Are any of your products appropriate?
Hi, I would like to stain over Wolman DuraStain (terracotta color), which doesn't adhere very well. Deck is 6 years old, pressure treated pine, in Central New York, under snow 4 months, semi-shaded otherwise. Wood is in great shape. Hoping to get away with doing horizontal surfaces without sanding, as balustrades and posts are holding up well. Will 1500 (rustic) work for me?
