Wood Stain Samples

gale keithline:

My house has three decks. The decks have quite a few log accents. We will be restaining the logs, decks, and fascia. I have used SuperDeck in the past with poor results. Here are the SuperDeck products:
Log Home Oil DB7300 - Autumn Brown (log accents)
Transparent Stain DB1907 - Canyon Brown (deck floors)
I'd like to transition to TWP, but don't know which product would work best here in Colorado. For the logs the color nearest is your "Rustic" (1516) and for the log decking the color is the "Dark Oak" 1503.

Please let me know which product I should use and I'll order samples.

Thanks

Use the 100 Series. Make sure you prep by removing the Super Deck stain before applying the TWP.

We are refinishing a dock in southern Missouri. It has a swim deck and would like to use the Honeytone to keep a lighter appearance. Should we use the 100 or 1500 series? Any other recommendations?

Either would be fine for your area. The 115 Honeytone is slightly lighter than the 1515 Honeytone.

How long does it take to receive a sample? Need it fast.

Depends on the state you live in?

i have a 20 year old deck, stained several times over (full sun), I tried to strip as best as I could but still a mess (some of the old coloring did not get off); would something like TWP 1500 cover it? I was thinking of going with black walnut 1504 (closest color to old)

TWP is not a covering stain. It is best to remove the old coatings as much as possible. Shoot for 95% or more. The TWP needs to penetrate into the wood grain for maximum results.

JEFF HUNTER:

If you stain a new deck with regular stain. Can you go over that with TWP clear and will it hold the stain color and still waterproof?

No you cannot apply the TWP clear over a regular stain of a different brand and there would be no point to use it over a TWP color.

Sorry, but not yet to Canada.

I have a 20 year old treated wood deck that is in full weather(no cover) - What kind of stain do I need? it is grey and weathered in pretty good shape. We have replaced 2 new boards.

Prep with the Gemini Restore Kit first and use either the 100 or 1500 Series.

Can you make a custom color to match color of my house. Could give you the formula (Sherwin Williams custom color).

We do not custom color the TWP.

I see there is no natural color option for the 100 series. However I see a "clear" sample option. What is the difference between natural & clear> and is there a Natural option for the 100 series? I have a deck previously stained with a natural color and would like to maintain that look.

Clear has no color and will not prevent graying. TWP 1530 Natural is tinted and is the same color as the TWP 101 Cedartone Natural. FYI, Honeytone is the lightest tint in both series.

Hi, I see you TWP100 only covers 100-200 square ft. This seems very small considering a gallon of typical stain covers 300-400 feet. Are these numbers correct? I have a 70' x 4' dock and your online calculator says I need 3 gallons for 280 feet. I figured 2 gallons would be more than enough but now I'm no longer sure.

TWP covers about 150-200 sq. feet for the first coat and 200-300 for the second coat. Coverage will vary based on the type of wood, age of wood, and application method. Our coverage rates are the same as other brands, we are just more honest about them. For your 280 sq. feet and two coats, you will need about 3 gallons.
