      VOC is not a %, it is a level. The VOC level for the 100 Series is 550 VOC.

      If you stripped, brighten before staining.

    Looking to restain a 5 year old PT deck.  Previously stained with TWP-1516-1 Gallon Rustic Oak VOC Stain. Would like a solid same color.  Half the deck is shaded. Roughly 450 sqft. Suggestions on type and prep required.  It's just been pressure washed.

    What is the difference in the 100 and1500? I have a Cypress siding, and Cedar facia board. It’s almost a year old. What would be the best one and how long do they typically last before having to be redone?
    I’m in south Louisiana.

      They last the same. The main difference is VOC levels. You can use either in Louisiana.

    Hi
    Just put in a pressure treated boat dock, yellow pine grade2 micronized cooper azole from Pro’wood. I am in Sarasota, FL.
    1) how long do I have to wait to stain?
    and pre treat with your Gemini kit before the stain?

    2) it will be exposed to heavy salt water. Should I use 100 or 200?
    thank you

    I have a 7 yr old deck that I have stripped and brightened using the Gemini products.  I was set to stain today after waiting 48 hrs after the brighten step.  Forecast has now changed and it may rain this evening and tonight and tomorrow is now going to storm.  Do I have to repeat the brightening step before staining when weather permits?  Or just go ahead with staining?  Also, how soon after applying stain can it rain?  The cam says 48 hrs but I’ve read on the answer section that you’ve said 24hrs?  Thank you!

      No need to redo the prep, just let the wood dry out another 48 hours after the rain.

    Moved into our new home and Eastern Iowa in July of 22. I am planning to stain this spring. We have a small raised second floor deck 10x10 facing south ( lots of sun) and an eight step staircase up to the second floor which is facing north. I decided on the TWP 120 Pecan and the Gemini restore a deck kit. This is the first time I've stained a deck. What is the best way to apply the stain excluding spraying, because it's always windy here. I have a power washer for the cleaning do I also have to brush the cleaner on? 
    Thanks, Brian

    I live in Vancouver Canada and I have been using TWP 101 Cedar Tone on my deck for over 30 years, and the deck still looks great.  We have a wet climate here in the winter, and hot sun in the summer, similar to Seattle.  I just give the deck a gentle power wash annually in May, then a hand scrub with a bristle deck brush and a deck cleaner solution (not a stripper), then rinse well and let it dry for several days, depending on the weather, then apply a very light coat of the TWP 101 with a pad applicator.  However, I see the 100 series can no longer be imported into Canada.  What product should I use now over the TWP 101?  I really don't want to have to do a complete stripping of the current surface.

    The picture was taken today, before the annual cleaning. Considering the deck is over 30 years old, I think it has survived very well. It looks looks like new after the annual maintenance.

      The TWP 100 Series has not been allowed in Canada for about 10 years now. The 200 Series can be used in Canada. You have no choice but to strip and brighten as you have an excessive build-up of the TWP on your deck now. It is supposed to fully soak into the wood, not dry on top of the wood as your pictures are showing. To remove, use the RAD Stripper and Brightener kit with both additives:

        Thanks for the information. I read on another TWP distributor's site that the 200 series is very slow to dry. Is this true?
        • We will reply to your comment shortly
          TWP Stains · 03/23/2023
          It can take 1-2 weeks to fully cure. Once cured, it is an excellent stain and as good as the 100 Series.

            It's hard to tell from the computer pictures, but the TWP 201 Cedar tone looks darker than the TWP 101 Cedar tone.  If there is a significant difference, which colour in the 200 series would be closest to the 101 Cedar Tone?  Would the 203 Cedar Gold or 205 California Cedar be a closer match?  Thanks for the help.

              All the 200 Series colors start very dark when applied. After full cure in 1-2 weeks, they settle to the final color. It will be similar to the 101. Other best option would the Cedar Gold color.

    I have a deck that is 8 months old now. Just bought the gemni kit to clean and restore. Deck has a fair amount of red mud stains from construction. Will these products clean this off or is sanding necessary? I also purchased dark oak stain to apply that I hope will mask it.

      It should come off. Use a pressure washer while using the Gemini Kit.

    Please advise   if this gallon ( can cover is in black we wish to use, as listed below,
    is it from the 1500 series, or the 100 series,
    or from the newer Semi-solid Pro series which is still a type 100?
    Gallon label only reads:  "115 Pro Series Honeytone" 
    Used this 2 years a go and it looks good today and performs great!

      115 means 100 Series in Honeytone.

    I want to strip 4 year old semi solid stain from my deck. My concern is that my deck is built around a large (5.5 ft. diameter) live oak tree and that applying the stripping products might be absorbed by the trees roots and poison my tree. I see information on protecting shrubs and plant leaves with watering, but nothing on absorption by trees. The deck is in good shape, over 15 years old, and about 480 square feet.

      It is not going to harm the trees but you may not be able to strip the semi-solid. What brand is it, and post some pics in the comments.

    Older wood deck. Freshly power washed in Southern Missouri.  Trying to decide on semi vs opaque.  20x30 with 15ft benches built in and 15ft ramp 3ft wide.
    Sun shade mix. Heavy black oak trees all around.
    What product is best to use?  Would like to see some grain but want to maximize protection.
