    D Schroeder:
    May I pressure wash 6 year old PT deck with one coat of TWP100 on it, prior to reapplying TWP 100?

    Use the Gemini Restore Kit while pressure washing for the prepping.

    New PT lumber almost a year old waiting on it to dry good looking for a stain and leaning at TWP100 redwood.My question is looking at ready seal, bakers gray wood andTWP100 does your product have to be stripped after 2/3 years or can you properly clean it and recoat. we are old people and can maintain what we have but dont wont to get into stripping. From what I can read your product holds its color better than the other above mentioned.On your reply give me advice on the best way to clean this lumber and put down TWP100.Any help would be appreciated. Do I put down one heavy coat then while wet apply another coat please advise.
    Thank You,Tim

    TWP can be cleaned and reapplied as needed down the road. Prep with the Gemini Restore Kit and apply 2 light coats "wet on wet":

    Can you ship the TWP100 to Pennsylvania? Is the 100 better than the 1500 series and can you apply the 100 over the 1500 which was previously used. Thanks.

    Sorry, but TWP 100 Series if not legal for PA and you cannot apply it over the 1500 Series.

    i cleaned and restored and coated my deck last summer.i want to recoat. deck is around 900 sq, feet how much product do i need? i use the 100 series.

    How much did you use last time? If doing a light maintenance coat you should use about 60% of what you used the first time.

    1. old (20+ years)
    2. cedar
    3. cracking and warped but not rotten
    4. stained with semi transparent but not sure of age (old)
    5. 2000 sq. ft. deck

    Can I apply one coat only of TWP 100? it is so large I wold rather not have to do a second coat unless necessary.

    Hello, for the prep you will need to remove the old stain first suing the Restore A Deck stripper and pressure washing. Once removed you would need to brighten the wood with the RAD Wood Brightener. TWP 100 should be applied wet on wet. Typically the railings only need one coat but the horizontals should get two.

    1. 1/2 is 12 yrs old, the rest is 7 yrs old
    2.Treated pine (above ground treatment)
    3. Good - never powerwashed
    4. Yes, Once with TWP Clear
    5. Bi-level (2 steps down) wooden deck open w/no roof. And with wooden stairs (6 steps) down to ground leve. House located on salt water to brackish water marsh. "Painted" sample areas w/TWP Natural and Honeytone - both have retained color - clear did not last long in water protection.

    Either color is fine. Honeytone being the lightest will fade a little faster. Prep well first with the Gemini Restore Kit and light pressure washing or heavy scrubbing.

    Age of wood: 14 months
    Type of wood: cedar
    Condition of wood: Excellent
    Never been stained, Florida
    844 sq ft

    Plan on using TWP 100 however I used a cleaner and brightener 3 weeks ago, do I need to re-clean or should I be ok? Also, can the TWP 100 be applied to damp wood, I am having trouble finding a 3 day rain free window. Thanks.

    Yes you should lightly clean again. TWP cannot be applied to damp or wet wood.

    jes2525:
    We followed new deck prep and staining process. We did the deck floor about 10 days ago and ran out of stain. It really looks like it needs another coat as you can see brush strokes and it's lighter/darker in areas. Do we have any options other than to start over or wait till spring to add a 2nd coat? What will happen if we add a 2nd coat?

    Couple other random questions:

    1. It's Fri AM and no rain in forecast for several days. So, we planned on finishing up on Sunday (we still need to do the posts in ground). But, the water from yesterday's rain is puddling on the deck. So, when it says wait 48 hours after last rain, should we sweep the water off the deck and then wait 48 hours? Confused about what 48 hours without rain means...

    2. We used 100 - Cape Cod... on the deck it looks lite gray but we have (2) 16' ramps in the yard and they look baby blue - any idea why? suggestions?

    We would suggest leaving alone for the year. Next Spring you can lightly clean to remove any dirt and apply another coat then. As for the color on the ramp, the TWP enhances the grain of your wood so there must have been some blue or green tint in the new wood. Did you wait 4-12 months and prep accordingly for the new wood: http://www.twpstainhelp.com/prepping-new-wood-for-twp-stains/

    Carolyn L. Newman:
    We just stained our deck yesterday with TWP 100. Deck,is 2 years old, pine, and previously stained. We removed the old stain by sanding and using a stain remover. Then it sat untreated for about 4 months. we cleaned the surface with Dekscoat and water three days prior to staining.

    We put on two coats of stain.....wet on wet application. It has been 24 hours and the deck,is still tacky. We live in Hawaii so do have higher humidity. It has NOT RAINED ON THE DECK. There were a few spots that looked shiny after the second coat so I ran a clean roller over it, but not much came up on the roller.

    What should we do now? I think we just applied too much stain and should have used only one coat. Thanks for any help!

    Hello, see this article and comments about this: http://www.twpstainhelp.com/twp-stain-is-spotty-or-shiny/

    It will dry and cure fully, just may take a few days.

    Peter Starke:
    I have 4 gallons remaining of TWP 100 clear. I would like to use on an upcoming job, but the job specifies grey tinted stain. What grey tint is compatible with your stain, and do you have the capacity to send it to me?

    Thanks

    It is not possible to tint the Clear.
