We will reply to your comment shortlyI live in Kansas. I built a new cedar deck three years ago and, after allowing it to weather for 8 months, I stained it with Flood CWF-UV clear. That stain peeled off and/or faded which I re-applied last year. It has done the same this year and so I am contemplating switching to TWP. I am going to power wash the deck surface and rail tops first and my question is: will the TWP last for more than one season? if I use the clear, will it darken the cedar wood to a rich, dark finish or should I use a tinted color?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou will need to strip off the Flood fully first. TWP typically last 2-3 years on a deck. Clear will not provide UV protection so it must be tinted.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWe just installed a new porch using cedar pillars and posts. Can we treat this with TWP right away since the cedar is not smooth, or do we need to let it weather for several months? Thanks for your help.

We will reply to your comment shortlyIf rough sawn wood, you can do right away.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHi;
I live in colorado springs (6800 ft elevation and alot of sun) and
just installed box steps for my backyard door (like a small deck.)
total coverage 108 sf.
I used red pressure treated pine from HDepot about 2 mnths ago and it's drying out fast.
Which product do you suggest to bring out the red and protect from UV.
We get some rain and alot of snow but it melts and dries out quickly.

Use the 100 Series.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI am staining a 4yr old cedar deck which I recently power washed. I am having trouble finding the TWP100. Would 1500 be a good substitute?

We will reply to your comment shortlyUsed Honeytone 115 on my deck support posts in September 2018. How do i know when to reapply? Also, Is there a window/door caulk that you recommend for series 100 dark oak?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyReapply when it starts to fade. Any caulk will work, does not matter the brand.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI’m having a tongue and groove pine ceiling installed on my porch...wondering which stain i should get(100, 200, or 1500) and how i should prep the wood

We will reply to your comment shortlyUse the 1500. See this about new wood: https://www.twpstainhelp.com/prepping-new-wood-for-twp-stains/

We will reply to your comment shortlyWhat is the difference between the 100 series and the 1500 series? We just installed a new deck and live in Kentucky. After letting the deck weather for 4-12 months, should we use the 100 series or the 1500 series for our deck?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUse the 100 Series. Main difference is VOC compliancy for certain states,
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyDo I need to let tough sewn cedar weather 4-12 months, I don’t want it to gray...
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNo. You can stain rough sawn right away as long as it is clean and dry.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI just installed 8x8” rough sawn cedar posts on our porches, what would be the best way to seal them? I would like to keep the natural color of the cedar.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyAny of the TWP 100 or 1500 colors will work. The color choice is your preference. You can see some photos on this link: https://www.twpstain.com/twp-100-series-stain-colors-and-photo-albums/
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWould the cedar gray if I used clear since it does not have UV protection?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes. Must be tinted if you want UV protection.

-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIs this product a clear sealer to seal a deck before applying a final stain or semi - transparent stain …??
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNo, this is a semi-transparent stain. You cannot apply a sealer first and then stain over it. No need as well.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHelp!!! We started staining our deck with the 2 gallons we were told we needed to get the job done. Unfortunately, both we and the sales rep grossly underestimated how dry the wood on the deck was. So, now we have run out of stain with only about 3/4 of the deck getting a first coat, and nobody is open for several days near us that carries your product. Are we going to need to clean and treat the deck again, then start the whole process over once we are able to buy more stain? Or can we finish staining the remaining part of the untreated deck and do a second coat on the whole thing? Please advise as I am unsure what to do at this point. Thanks!
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyFor the best results and most uniform appearance, it would be best to prep again and redo all with the two coats applied wet on wet.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThank you. Can you apply the stain with a power paint sprayer, or does it need to be a manual paint sprayer like the old school kind you can use to spray for weeds or pests? If I'm going to have to redo the whole deck again, I sure don't want to have to hand paint/roll it like we did the first time. Thanks for your help!
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou can use a pump sprayer or airless sprayer but you will need to back brush to ensure an even application if spraying.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI've just read two years worth of questions and answers. I'm impressed with your responsiveness and patience (there are alot of repeat questions).
I have a few questions.
1. I've powerwashed my 20 year old cedar deck. The last application of stain (Cabot, I think) was probably 5 years ago. Do I need to clean AND brighten, or just brighten?
2. I probably need to strip (and clean and/or brighten per the answer to #1) the railings, particularly the spindles because I couldn't powerwash the spindle sides that faced each other. I know you can't give me a definitive answer, but is it typically sufficient to spray on stripper and then powerwash? Maybe twice?
3. I bought a recommended pad applicator. Is that ok for both coats or do I have to "back-brush". If so, what is "back-brushing"?
4. There is a stained area where the grill was. I expect I need to sand it (if stripping doesn't do anything). I know you're not a fan of sanding because it closes the grain. Is the brightener sufficient to re-open the grain?
Thanks for all your help.-
We will reply to your comment shortly1. Strip and brighten to remove the Cabot.
2. Yes.
3. Yes, you can use the pad for both coats. See this about wet on wet: https://www.twpstainhelp.com/twp-stain-wet-on-wet-application/
4. If you spot sand then the stain will take differently or lighter in color. The brightener will not "fix" that. Only natural weathering for a few months will.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI will be applying TWP 100 to my new, untreated cedar deck. Beside washing the deck and allowing 48 hours of dry time, will I need to use any other prep product on the wood before application?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlySee this about new wood: https://www.twpstainhelp.com/prepping-new-wood-for-twp-stains/
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThank you. For the deck I will let it weather for 4 months before application. I will also be using twp100 clear on a pine tongue and groove porch roof. This wood will also be new. This wood will not see much if any water or sun and therefore won’t weather much. I would like to apply the twp100 clear to all sides of this siding before install. Would this be ok to do before install? Should I use one of your prep products before applying the clear?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNo reason to apply to all sides and it is not suggested. Just the exposed side after install. Prep first to remove mill glaze.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWith the prairie gray and cape cod colors, are they easy to reapply maintenance coats since they are "closer to a semi-solid appearance"?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes, they are easy to maintain.
