Wood Stain Samples

I have a PT pine dock that is 4 years old now sitting in strong Florida sunshine and has never been treated. I like natural wood tones and don't want to cover it up. I also like the silvery grey dried wood look as it is typically less hot in the sun to walk on barefoot than darker wood tones. I am purchasing a sample of your honey tone, clear, and cape cod gray all in 100 for Florida. I intend to mix the grey with clear in varying amounts and make test samples. Is it safe to assume a 50/50 mix would be half as UV protective? Any words of wisdom for mixing?

Is the Rustic Oak 116 the same color and formula as the old Rustic? Why did you change the name?

The 116 is called Rustic or Rustic Oak. Same thing.

Is twp 100 cedartone 101 the same color stain as twp 100 cedartone natural.

Cedartone Natural 101 and Cedartone 101 is the same thing. There is no Cedartone "100".

Okay to apply 1515 in full sun, heat? Want to put it on rough sawn 4-board horse fence (1x6). New boards require only 1 coat for starters, correct?

You can put on isn sun but be careful of days above 90 as it will dry faster. Rough sawn wood is very absorbent so you may need the two coats applied wet on wet.

I have tried sample color pecan 1520 and 120 on some treated pine wood that was left over from the building of my new deck. In my state 120 is allowed and suggested by several individuals. My wife and I like the 1520 stain better because it is slightly darker. It this stain an acceptable stain for new wood or do you also suggest the 120 instead?

You can use the 1500 Series as long as you follow the directions for new wood:

I have one board on a new deck, made from treated pine, that is oozing pine sap. Can I still use a semitransparent stain on it when I stain the deck in 3 months? I plan to use Turpentine to clean the board at this time.

Yes you can still stain it.

I stripped my large side deck and it was suggested I use oak trying to get close to my older decks (in the front and downstairs) med golden brown tone. (Flood cwf uv5 natural many times)
The oak is muddy reddish brown! One coat. If I put a coat of natural over the oak in the summer will this help neutralize this awful color?
I really do not want to strip the deck again.
There was no other color that seemed to work.
Any suggestions

I understand that since I live in New York State I can only order this series. The 100 Series is not allowed to be shipped to this State. Is that correct?

Only the 1500 is allowed in NY.
