    I used the stain and it looks great but it has been 24 hours and spots are still wet.
    Should I leave it alone and let it dry?

    I own a restoration company and have used TWP since the mid 90's. Today I've opened two single gallons of Pecan and they look and smell way different than hundreds of gallons of Pecan I've used. Did you guys change the formula? Smells like wet, decaying grass, (compost)and looks like a runny, chocolate milk. I'm very reluctant on using this on my clients deck atm.

      No changes to the formula or performance. Make sure to mix it well. it may have settled.

    My husband likes Cedartone for refinishing our old red cedar gazebo. (I don’t want a red or orange appearance.) Is this a popular color? I like pecan. My question is if we go with Cedartone, could I change to pecan in a few years if we would like to try that color? Would that require more prep work? Thank you.

      Cedartone is the most popular color. If you switch to Pecan at a later time it would be best to strip and brighten for prep.

    30 yr old red cedar gazebo, last stained with a semi-opaque water based Flood stain about 8-10 years. Plan to use TWP 100 wood stain. Prep: Pressure washed, and now sanding off remaining stain with random orbital palm sander. I’m planning on ordering a 5 gallon of stain and Restore-a-deck prep. Do I need cleaner or Stripper? I live in SE Missouri. (I have never used 5 gallon can before). How do you pour from it?

    I don't understand which is better for a new pressure treated deck between 100 and 1500 series?

    Which lasts the longest before needing to be stripped? DOES it ever need to be stripped?

    Twp pro 100 series is it available in 1 gallon cans? I only see 100 series.
    i used the 100 series 12 months ago on new Cedar railings and the pressure treated pine deck floor needs staining. The railings are covered in mold and mildew so I want the most mildew resistant stain available.

    I have just pressure washed rough cut pressure treated pine 6” board fence that was installed November 2019. Is TWP 100 cape cod the best for gray semi-transparent. How many gallons for 1300 SF? Also 1 or 2 coats? Thanks

    I am looking into pressure washing and staining a large boat pier & dock with TWP-100 Cedartone. The pier is (weathered) pressure treated pine and may have been treated with Thompson's water seal at some point. I would like to remove the weathered appearance, bringing back the new wood look and stain/preserve. Which products and methods do you recommend using to restore the like new look before staining with TWP100?

    Hi, my fence is one year old. Can I just do 1 coat? (I also have the Gemini restore a kit). To be honest, I dont really wanna spend the money to buy 2 more 5 gallon buckets if I dont absolutely need it.

          One coat should work but it really depends on how porous the wood is.

            One more question. how long after using the restore kit can I wait to stain? I only ask because we constantly have thunderstorms in the forecast so it is always a gamble if one hits or not.

    We stripped and then brightened our 20 yr. old cedar deck, then used orbital sander to smooth down rough walking surfaces. Do we need to pressure wash before stain application or just remove sanding dust with leaf blower?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      TWP Stains · 07/13/2020
      Use the brightener after the sanding and hen lightly pressure wash off to open up the pores of the wood for the stain.

        Just to make sure you know about my process so far...I already stripped and "brightened" the deck before I I sanded. Now that I've sanded, do I need to use the brightener again? Thanks for all of your advice!
        • We will reply to your comment shortly
          TWP Stains · 07/14/2020
          Yes, brighten again. Helps to open up the wood grain so the stain can soak in better.

    My deck (cedar) has been stripped, brightened -- stain TWP Cedartone 101 started to be applied but was splotchy and dark in spots due to fuzz. That was removed, now the contractor is hand sanding d the surface (60 grit), the fuzz in off but now I see what appears to be black mold. Ideas?

      Your pictures are too small to see anything. If it is mild, you should use this kit after the sanding while pressure washing: https://www.twpstain.com/gemini-s-restore-a-deck-cleaner-and-brightener-kit

        Thanks, it appears that the grey spots are isolated around areas of some nails. Could there be some connection with the nails and water?
        • We will reply to your comment shortly
          TWP Stains · 07/10/2020
          That is rust from your nails due to removing the protective coating while sanding. You need a brightener to help with removal. You may also need to replace the nails or acres with news to prevent it from coming back.

            Hi? The deck is now sanded and gray nail stains are gone. Can they stain. If they use brightener won’t the stains return? Using TWP 100 Cedartone 101

              TWP Stains · 07/11/2020
              If it is rust it will return no matter what when the deck gets wet. The only way to fix is to replace the nails.

    Was the Second coat needed? It did not penetrate in some spots? Also will adding a second coat in the fall be beneficial?

    Mike Smith · 06/28/2020
    Second coat. How do you wipe it off. Just a paint rag? Also 1/2 is done with 2 coats. How do I know if the second cost will take?

      Just leave alone. It will dry and cure.

    I’m pressure washing a wood picket fence previously stained. I’ll let it dry then spray and brush 2 coats of twc 100. As long as I remove any stained wood, I’m good right? What lifespan can I expect for this product in a central Texas climate?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      TWP Stains · 06/21/2020
      Yes, correct. On a fence, about 3-5 years.

        Great! So I’ve got 1350 sf to cover, 2 coats, I’ve got 10 gallons. At 300 sf/gallon I’m good. The second coat won’t take as much as the first right?
        • We will reply to your comment shortly
          TWP Stains · 06/23/2020
          10 Gallons will probably not be enough. Closer to 12-15 gallons for two coats and also I assume you counted both sides of the fence?
          • We will reply to your comment shortly
            Ben · 06/23/2020
            It’s just one side of the fence but I did consider that. Bummer about the stain but I’m know it’s no good to run out mid project. Thanks y’all.

              Can I just power wash the fence and stain a similar color over what’s left of the old?

    Hi - I stained my entire deck with TWP 100, but ran out of stain before I finished the second "wet on wet" coat. I will have to wait a few weeks to get more stain - will there be any issues if I apply the second coat on the dried first coat?

      As long as the wood is absorbent you should be fine.
