Wood Stain Samples

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.

TWP Covers about 150-200 square feet per gallon on a new fence.

I ahve a new Wester Red Cedar fence that needs to be treated. The fencing material is rough on one side and smooth on the other. What coverage can I expect with TWP 100 and 1500?
