TWP 100 Series 1 Gallon

I have a redwood deck that is pretty new (built 7 months ago). We let it weather and are now going to clean and stain. We plan to use the restore-a-deck combo cleaner and brightener.

Question is- if we want to basically just bring out the natural beauty of the original redwood, which TWP stain will best help us accomplish that?[/quote]
Honeytone is the lightest tint. We sell samples for you to test on our site.

That's a vague response, and purchasing samples is exactly what I am trying to do...which is why I asked the question. Do you at least have a recommendation on TWP 100 vs. TWP 1500?

We stained our new deck with TWP 100, Rustic, in October 2012. We need to re-stain with the same color now. Should we plan on applying one coat of the stain or two? Will the Gemini Restore-A-Deck kit remove much of the old stain?

I need some Redwood colored stain for my Redwood deck in Western Oregon (Eugene).

But I can't tell the difference between your 100, 1500, and 200 series on your website??

BTW - It is wet all the time in the winter and gets sun all summer.

Thx

Use the TWP 100 Series for this. As for colors, you can get samples here:

Several years ago I purchased TWP on line and can't remember what color or type I purchased. Do you keep that information about your customers?

I stained a yard swing with TWP116 Rustic two years ago. I need to stain the swing again, but can't find this in the stores in our area. I did find TWP 116 Rustic Oak. Is this the same color?

Yes it should be the same as long as it says 116, not 1516.

I used twp 100 on my redwood deck last year.. I knew the greying would come. This year Ive decided to try the redwood tint. My question is what is the difference in the 102 redwood stain and the 1500 series stain.

Stick with the 100 Series for this. It will penetrate better.

I'm interested in preserving my cedar decking once it greys- can I seal it with the clear 100 series without cleaning so as not to expose the original cedar tone?

You need to prep before applying the TWP.

Somewhere on the website I saw something about "maintenance coats" for TWP 100. Now, of course, I can't find it. I just applied the stain but am wondering when and how (i.e. prep required) to apply "maintenance coats" in the future?

I noticed that your technical info gives a coverage rate of 100-200 square feet per gallon. Does that mean 100-200 sq.ft. per coat -- or is that for the required two coats? I'm doing a deck and railings totaling about 650 sq.ft. and am wondering how much stain to buy. (Deck is weathered and neglected about 25 yrs. old -- not smooth, new wood, so stain will probably really soak in.)

First coat applies at 150-200 sq feet while the second coat applies at 200-300 sq. feet. It averages 100-150 sq. feet for 2 coats. You will nee 6-7 gallons for the two coats.

Have 100 on my deck, applied for two years.
1. My state allows both 100 or 1500, which is better then for a treated wood deck. 2 years old.
2. I notice that 100 says it dries in 4 hrs, 1500 takes all night.. as long as it doesn't freeze or frost it will be ok?
3. best application technique? foam pad, roller, sprayer?
Thanks.

Stay with the 100 Series. Use a exterior stain pad.
