TWP 100 Series 5 Gallon

I have been using Penofin on my deck every year for a decade. Each year I prep with oxyclean first, then oxalyic acid. Let dry 4 days. Stain. I would like to switch to TWP. Is there anything different I need to do in my process?

What would be the closet color match in the semi solids series to cedartone 101?

Hello, is this stain a good choice for a new fence? Thanks!

Hi, 
I live in Ohio. I wanted to stain my deck with the cape cod grey. There is supposed to be nice weather all week so my plan was to sand deck, clean and brighten, let dry for a day or two then stain. Does the 100 series cape cod gray ship in Ohio? And any recommendations for me on the deck? First timer. 

I want to apply two coats how long should I wait in between coats?

Do you have solid series or just semi solid?

How long after applying the cleaner & brightener do we need to wait to apply the stain? And how long does the stain need to dry prior to rain/getting wet?

We applied one coat of 103 on our new deck (after waiting 8 months), is it recommended to put another coat on this year?   

I put the cedar tone TWP (Canadian version) this year on white cedar that was new last year.  I like how it turned out.  Happy so far, I probably was supposed to wait for the cedar to dry longer or do some prep work but I didn't read instructions.  Im not to concerned as it will be out of the weather shortly with a canopy over the deck.  

How to take off lid on 5 gallon lid and pour stain?

Is the 100 series prairie grey color, semi transparent? I like the color, but dont want to be putting solid stain on my deck. 

Hi,

What’s the difference between 100 & 103 stain?

Ship to Ontario,
Canada?  

Hi - hard to tell in the photos: would you suggest the "finish" as compared to interior paints is flat eggshell or satin? Our exterior project needs a satin finish...THANKS

Last year I fully stripped my deck with your restore-a deck and gemini products, replaced bad boards and then applied your 100 series Honeytone stain.  The improvement was great.  The stain was sucked up into the boards so much, especially the old ones, that I did not have enough stain to get a full two coats wet on wet.

I was advised not to try to add more stain after it had dried, to wait at least 6 months then wash and brighten the deck with the Gemini kit.  This week I washed and brightened the deck on Monday morning.  I let it dry for 2 full days.  The weather was great with mid to high 70s and full sun.  Yesterday afternoon I then applied a new coat of Honeytone 100.

Unfortunately today the full deck has a sheen to it and there are some spots that are shiny (they look like the stain is still wet even though it isn't.)  Having read through your site and others it seems to indicate that stain was did not absorb.  I was careful not to soak the boards with stain.  Because of the age of the boards, it's defintely possible in some spots it pooled but I'm not sure how I would know it wasn't going to absorb until it was too late.  Certainly on 90% plus of the deck I did not overapply the stain.  I know I followed the Gemini instructions fully in washing and bightening the deck and that it was fully dry before staining.

So my questions are:

1) shy of fully stripping the whole deck and going through the whole process again, is there anything I can do to somewhat dull down the sheen and remove the shiny spots while still maintaing the protection?

2) Is there a product I can appy in much the same way that the deck wash and/or brightener is applied?  Would using those products achieve the desired result?  I have read that I could try rubbing it down with a cloth soaked in mineral spirits but that would be a large task to do and I would be worried it would ruin the stain protection properties.

3) Lastly, while not ideal, what if I did nothing? Will the sheen and shiny spots eventually dull down and will the stain protections still work.

Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.

is it best to spray or hand brush the stain on a fence.

We stained our deck last year with the TWP 100 Cedartone 101 and need to put another coat down this year. Can we use a different TWP 100 color to make it a little darker?
