    For CA, you will need to use the TWP 1500 Series. Honeytone is the lightest tint. Natural is a little darker. Cost is $195 per 5 gallon pail and they ship free. Coverage is about 150-200 Sq. feet for the first coat and 200-300 for the second coat.

    1) New build. August 2015
    2) Western Red Cedar
    3) Unfinished to weather/age over winter
    Only 2-3 feet off ground. House walls on west and north side of deck. Heavy oak tree coverage begins 30 yards east and 15 yards south of deck. During peak summer, deck will get full sun from around noon through about 5 or 6 pm. Looking to maintain as natural of a new cedar non-greyed look as possible but while still offering best protection from foot traffic, Minnesota weather and UV. Mold and mildew issues unknown. I purchased Restore A Deck combo cleaner/brightener to prep for stain. Is 100 or 1500 series better for me? Also, will 5 gallons keep well if I use half this spring for 1 coat and the other half next spring for 2nd coat?

    Use the 100 Series. See this about shelf life:

    I have just completed a 80 square foot entry deck for my parents, for the purpose of giving them a large flat stable surface to enter and exit their home at their main door.

    Used pressure treated lumber in 2x6 dimension for the deck flooring.

    Need to make the deck as non-slip as possible, as they are in their late 80's and preventing falls is the reason we added the deck.

    Do you have recommendations on how to treat the deck, and what products to use, to make it as non-slip as possible?

    Thank you

    TWP is a penetrating stain, not filming so it is not slippery. See this about new wood:

    Keith Elliott:
    I'm slowly building a outside bench using white oak. I bought the wood about 6 months ago and it has been in the garage the entire time while I've been designing the bench and working the wood. The wood is in perfect condition, never been treated, painted, or stained. I'm in the process of final sanding and then plan to stain it using TWP100. Is TWP100 the right choice? Also, I'd like to try small amounts of the various colors before buying a large quantity. Do the stains come in sample sizes?

    We are using recently cut white mine saw mill lumber for a 40 x 30 pavilion. The wood which varies in size from 6 x 12s to 3x 10s is aged 2 years but is certainly still somewhat wet. The wood has never been stained, is in good shape and rough cut. We have gotten advice from the contractor that they believe we can stain it now. Do you agree? The plan would be to use TWP100 unless we are told otherwise. Thanks.

    If rough cut and dry then yes you can stain now. Less then 15% moisture. The 100 or 1500 will work.

    1. Age of wood : 8
    2. Type: Pressure treated second floor open deck in Florida.
    3. Condition: good
    4. Was stained 7 years ago with Cabot semi-transparent Redwood. It did develop black mold over time.

    Which one shall I use and will need to remove the old remaining stain or is just pressure washing it is enough?

    Need to remove the old stain. Use the Restore A Deck stripper with the pressure washing. Use the Restore A Deck Brightener after. Use the TWP 100 Series.
