Wood Stain Samples

Tony Gran:

Do you have any brochures that show the color of your products? The color isn't right on my computer screen and I would prefer to not spend $8 on a sample that won't match. The colors are close.

The colors in a brochures are the same as the computer, so it would not offer any help. The best to test is samples so you can see the color on your wood. All wood will differentiate with the colors since it is based on age of wood, type of wood and how the wood is prepped.

1100 sqft deck. Assume I will need 2 x 5gallon containers. Will the colors of both be exact or will I need to mix the two together best I can to ensure no color variation?

It is always best to mix together, but we test to make sure that all is exact same color prior to pouring into the pails. Product does settle some at the bottom, so make sure to stir well first.

What are the basic differences between the 100 and 1500 series. (I'm not referring to color differences, if there are any.)

Thank you

I had my deck rebuilt and used existing redwood with new redwood. The existing redwood has still a little remnance of an old green stain . it is mostly gone.When wet it is visible, when dry it look like the new redwood What product and color would you recommend.

See here about new wood:

If the green is internal, you cannot hide or mask it fully. a darker color would probably be better then a lighter color. Look at Pecan, Dark Oak, etc in the 1500 Series.

if staining with your 100 series could the deck be walked upon in bare feet without be hot to the touch? thank you WJR

Depends on the sun, temp, and color you choose, but rarely is it hot to the touch as it is a penetrating stain.

We have a new deck of 5/4 pine that has now been down 3 months in central Alabama and located lakeside. High humidity, high temps and deck is half in full sun. Is the 1500 series my best option?

Yes it is.

Why can't you custom color to my existing stain color?

TWP is not a tintable base and you cannot add regular paint tint to it as it will not mix and suspend in the formula properly. It only comes in the stock colors.

Colors of the same series can be mixed together to achieve a custom color.

Why can't you custom color to my existing stain color?

I have previously used Superdeck cedar colored sealer/stain (transparent I think). But, it comes out too dark. I want the color of the redwood deck to show through, what color would you suggest I use?

Start by fully removing the SuperDeck with our Restore A Deck stripper kit. Try the TWP 1511 California Redwood or 1515 Honeytone.
