Great way to try TWP colors before investing in a larger quantity!

We will reply to your comment shortly· 10/03/2019I 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 shortlyUse the 100 Series. See here about new wood: https://www.twpstainhelp.com/prepping-new-wood-for-twp-stains/

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.

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 shortlyTry Honeytone.

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!-

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.... -

We will reply to your comment shortlyStained the hand hewn pine siding on the house with TWP304 (black walnut). Now that all the PT is dried out (rails/deck) it is time to stain and since 304 is discontinued, how close in color is 1504? It looks a lot darker. Would 1503 (dark oak) be a lighter or better match? Thank you.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe TWP 1500 cannot be applied over the 300 Series. and the colors are not the same. The 300 Series is not discontinued, we just do not sell it on this website.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI wasn't going to apply 1504 over 304. The deck/railings have not been stained and per the information on this site, the 1500 series seems to be the way to go for deck/railings. My question is what color of 1500 stain more closely match 304 stain? The 1504 looks much darker.
Thanks-
We will reply to your comment shortlyClosely but darker. Colors are not the same between series.

We will reply to your comment shortlyOur deck is made of yellow pine. It was built 9 months ago so I think it is time to stain. Would the Honey Tone or the Natural look more like a clear coat? That is really the look we want. We don’t really want a color on it. Can you shop to Indy?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou must have color if you want UV protection. See our photo albums for help deciding: https://www.twpstain.com/twp-1500-series-stain-colors-and-photo-albums/
The TWP 1500 is allowed in IN.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI live in North Carolina, deck got installed last week. How long should I wait to stain, considering winter? I’m looking more towards 1501.

Do in Spring.-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThanks for the reply. Meanwhile do I need to apply anything to protect against mold or mildew? Reason I’m asking is this is my second deck installed. First deck was installed by builder last year summer and during last winter, it was cover with mold and it got worst and ended up replacing complete deck.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyLeave alone as you need to let the wood weather. You can clean off any mildew in the Spring if it happens.

We will reply to your comment shortlydo you have any experience with incense cedar? the incense cedar is harder and hence it is not that absorbent so we observe. thinking about using redwood 1502.

We will reply to your comment shortlyTreat it like a hardwood. Just one coat of the TWP.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI've received samples, tried them all, have finally picked one, and am ready to order. However, I've gone all the way through the order process (except for pushing the final "pay now" button) and can't find any way to get the $15 credit for money spent on samples promised on your website. How do I proceed? Thanks.
