We will reply to your comment shortly· 03/26/2020I've narrowed my stain choices down to 2 tones and wanted to test a few planks of siding on my house so I know exactly what it will look like. How difficult is it to remove the color I don't want afterwards?

We will reply to your comment shortlyI'm interested in restaining my cedar T&G house and giving a warm, rich tone to the wood. Which shades do you recommend to achieve a natural look—and/or a tone that lends itself to the contemporary style of the house? The second photo shows the cedar after cleaning it up a bit.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyTry Honeytone, Cedartone, or Pecan.

We will reply to your comment shortlyColors on paper or online are often not a true shade. I have a stain I need to match for a rebuild of my porch. Is there a store where I could see and compare colors without having to buy samples to try?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe only way to match properly is to get samples and test on your wood as all wood will be slightly different in the final color due to the wood type and age of the wood. Seeing a color at a store would be no different than seeing a color on a monitor or brochure, not exact.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyCan you do any matching if a wood sample with the needed color is sent to you?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWe do not color match with TWP. TWP colors of the same series can be mixed on your end to come up with a custom color.

We will reply to your comment shortlyCan the 200 series be used on cedar shingle siding on our house? And, does TWP 203 Cedar Gold and TWP 205 California Cedar have comparable colors in the 100 and 1500 series? I would rather use the 100 or 1500 series but haven't yet found any of the color options to be the best fit for our house so I am looking at the 200 series colors now. Thank you.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe 200 Series is designed for shakes and shingles. That would be the best option. There are not comparable colors in the 100 and 1500.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThank you for your reply. Just to clarify - is the 200 series designed for cedar shingle siding or just roofing shingles? We would like to use the 200 series on our cedar shingle siding on our house.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIt is for all shakes and shingles. It does not matter if roof or siding.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI am building an large farmhouse table for my outdoor patio, Houston TX. Sun exposure most of the day. I am using thick, freshly surfaces/milled planks of new growth cypress for the table top. I want it to age naturally with no added color. I would like to know what would be the best TWP product for maximum water proofing and UV protection?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyTWP comes in tinted colors that will enhance the grain. The stain must be tinted for UV protection as a clear (no tint or added color) cannot provide UV protection. Use the TWP 100 Series in any color that you like.

We will reply to your comment shortlyNew deck, pressure treated pine, built in July, Chapel Hill NC. Not sure whether to try 100 or 1500 series? OK waiting a while longer for more weathering. Plan to clean/brighten with Gemini. Also, have 22 year old railings originally stained with a Cabot semi-transparent gray and never restained - can I recover with 105 Cape Cod Gray? What best to clean/brighten these old railings?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUse the 100 Series for the deck. Prep with the Gemini Restore Kit. See this for new wood tips: https://www.twpstainhelp.com/prepping-new-wood-for-twp-stains/
You will need to remove the Cabot. Use this kit: https://www.twpstain.com/restore-a-deck-stripper-brightener-kit-detail

We will reply to your comment shortlyHello, I live in Piedmont North Carolina (GREENSBORO) where it is hot and super humid in summer. My home is western red cedar with Woodguard finish applied about 6 years ago. I would like to ask what you recommend for prep and re-stain. I was thinking the TWP 200 series?? Am I thinking correctly and how can I purchase samples of the 200? Thank you for your response in advance.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou would need to prep by removing the Woodguard. Use the Restore A Deck Stripper and Brightener Kit.
Stain in with the TWP 1500 for this. Samples are on the website.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI live in the southwest and the sun is really tough on wood finishes here. I have been using Messmer’s and I’m not sure it’s holding up. Which one of your products do you recommend for outdoor wood, vigas, corbels, and beams. Douglas fir.

We will reply to your comment shortlyOur products are for prepping when recoating. Are you planning on reapplying another coat? If so, use the Gemini Restore Kit: https://www.twpstain.com/gemini-s-restore-a-deck-cleaner-and-brightener-kit

We will reply to your comment shortlyHey guys. I have a 20-year old deck & stairs. Please see the attached pictures. I just powerwashed this weekend. Think I'm looking for an oil based semi-solid, but not sure. Would your rustic semi-transparent be enough to cover up what I already have? Or what would you recommend?
Thanks, Jason-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou will need to sand off the red stain and then clean and brighten all the wood with this: https://www.twpstain.com/gemini-s-restore-a-deck-cleaner-and-brightener-kit
Then you can use the TWP Rustic Color.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHave a new treated pine fence installed about 2months ago. Looking for a good stain that will provide protection from weather elements. Not sure what's best.... 1500, 100, or 100 pro series. Also, looking for a natural look/tone. Any suggestions?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyTry the TWP 1500 Series in Honeytone or Natural. See here for photos: https://www.twpstain.com/twp-1500-series-stain-colors-and-photo-albums/

We will reply to your comment shortlyI am building a greenhouse out of treated lumber in Central Oklahoma. Should I use 100 or 1500 series? We are currently having very hot dry weather. How long do I have to wait before staining?

We will reply to your comment shortlyHi, we live in Washinton State and have a cedar fence that was built in April. We are now ready to stain and really want to retain the natural color of the cedar without making it too orange or yellow. I have read a lot of comments here but just can't determine which color would be best - or if maybe we need to mix a color with clear to lessen the orange or yellow tones. Has anyone had any luck with getting a nice natural color by doing this? I'll try to attach a photo of our fence in it's current state. Thanks!

We will reply to your comment shortlyIf you mix clear into a stain 50/50, you will lose UV resistance by half. That means it will fade within a year or so.
See here for photo albums: https://www.twpstain.com/twp-100-series-stain-colors-and-photo-albums/-
We will reply to your comment shortlyOk, thanks. We don't want to compromise the UV protection, so I don't think we'll do the 50/50. By looking at our photos, is there a semi-transparent that you would recommend to get close to that color? I am not sure if we need the 100 or 1500 series in WA?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNicki, what did you end up using for your Fence stain? We are in the same situation with our cedar shingle siding on our house, live in Washington state, and want to minimize the orange and yellow color on the shingles. We would like to go as natural as possible and want to use TWP. Thank you!
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyAll colors will enhance. Honeytone is the lightest tint. Use the 100 Series.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a new redwood deck but want a light, natural/brown tone stain. Really want it to look more like natural cedar. DO not want dark and want to down play red tones. What samples to do suggest I try?

We will reply to your comment shortlyHelp ! I live in GA - I have some wood beams that are about 14 yrs old . The last known stain was 205 Cal Cedar. They have a very reddish tone to them . I just painted my house white and I’m adding some new shutters and wood garage doors that are made from knotty cedar. I’d like to get all the stain colors together in more of a medium rustic brown color - and knock off some of the red under tones. I know cedar naturally goes that way - but that’s the wood this company uses. My question is - how can I strip down the red tones of the older beams , preserving the ruff sawn feel - and get them to more in the brown family? And how can I get my new shutters and garage doors to not go red with every stain I put on them (I’m thinking maybe a primer of some sort? Is that possible?) to get all these woods to look / blend in the same family . And what stains do you recommend ? A mixture maybe?
I’m sttaching pictures of how the beams look now first - and the color I hope to achieve. I really appreciate help! And where can I go buy this in Gainesville Ga? Thank you!-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUse this for prep: https://www.twpstain.com/restore-a-deck-stripper-brightener-kit-detail
Look at TWP 1520 Pecan or 1503 Dark Oak for both the entrance and the shutters. Get some samples to test. You cannot use a primer with TWP stains.

We will reply to your comment shortlyAttached are pictures of existing 20 year rough-sawn cedar channel siding next to the new siding added to a garage. The previous owner said it was last stained 5 years ago with TWP 101 Cedartone. I was wondering from the color, do you believe that is correct and if I use the Gemini kit will it bring the old siding back so that once the new and old are stained at the same time, will they be somewhat close in final color?
Thank You.... -
