    How different is the UV protection between 120 Pecan and 101 Cedartone? Most of the deck is protected from the sun aside from a small portion that gets the afternoon sun.

    Is there any type of 'extra dense' (like a paste) TWP product to treat the ends of planks? End-grain absorbs much more quickly than face grain...or should I just apply extra product?

     I ran out of twp 1501, can I use twp 101 on the rest of the panels without too much difference in color?

    Deck worked out great with cedar tone 1501.  Unfortunately loss of cottonwood
     seed falling shortly after which is somewhat adherent to the newly stained surface.  How soon can I wash the deck down with dish soap or something else?

    My state(Michigan) recently just banned the 100 formula, which is a shame.  I have used this product for years and loved it.  What do I need to do in a few years when it comes time to restain?  I sure hope I don't have to sand/remove the old.  What type of formulas/products can be placed over TWP 100 when that time comes?  I understand this is a twp forum, but I would like to understand too what other products may work.

    Thanks,

    Shane

    Hello - you are most patient and consistent with your answers..I have posted a couple things about our deck - now determining color - while 103 dk oak was recommended we do love the cedar color contrast with house paint.  This vertical is a transparent PPG cedar tone oil- on cedar - love it but not for the deck.  We prefer TWP - I have samples of Supercedar Semi Solid and 103 dark 0ak en route.  While you've mentioned that you can't overcoat 100 Pro series with Semi Solid Pro series- can you mix them for color preference?  If not would 103 dark oak and 101 cedar tone make a darker cedar color?  
    And yes this deck is not yet ready - needs further stripping and brightening...:)
    Thank you so much for your attention and guidance.

      You cannot mix the semi-solids with the 100 Series but you can mix colors of the same series together. Adding Dark Oak to Cedartone would brown out the cedar color but how much varies on your wood type, age, etc.

        Thanks for that info.  I do recall you mentioned in a post that 1501 cedartone was a darker color cedar than 101 - does that sound right ?

          Yes, that is correct.

            Thank you.

            Making sure I understand the difference between the 100 series and 1500 series -

            100 series:  
            -higher VOC and not compliant in all states due to VOC
            -dries quicker
            -more effective wood protection overall - UV, water repellent due to VOC
            -cedar color slightly lighter
            -lasts longer before recoating necessary?
            -best overall rating for penetrating oil options

            And final questions re colour:
            - will second coat (101 cedar tone) make it darker
            - and will years of TWP recoating using same color appear darker over time.

              100 and 1500 series will last the same. The rest is correct.

              The second coat will give more color. When recoating you have to prep so no, it does not get darker over time.

    We purchased TWP 101 Cedartone to use after stripping a log home.  Is there a clear coat we can use after the stain has dried to protect the integrity?

      TWP Stains · 05/16/2023
      No, you cannot apply a coating over the top of the TWP stains.

    Have a new home (1.5 yr old) that has cedar, rough cut, vertical planks and posts used around the home.  I was planning on power washing with water, then TWP101 after it dries. Should I add a step of a cleaner/brightener/wash to my current plan?

      There is no such thing as TWP "100" Cedartone. 101 is the number for the Cedartone color. 100 is the number for clear.

    I have a wood bench we built a few years ago and am looking to stain it. Do I need to do anything prior to apply 101 stain?

      Make sure the wood is prepped. Clean and brightened.

    Sorry but a two part question:
    First, what is the difference between the cedar tone and the honey tone? Looking through the presented pictures they look really similar. The best I can tell on my iPad screen is the honey tone is a bit more gold while the cedar tone is a bit more orange. What is your professional opinion on the difference between the two colors?
    Second, which of the two has more pigment to protect from UV?
    Thank you for the reply

      Honeytone is lighter (more gold) in color than cedartone (More caramel). Same UV protection.

        Thank you. Last question, between the 100 & 1500 series, which product line will give the best results for my climate? Cedar fence and cedar deck, Southern Washington coast, rain, sun, etc

          They will last the same on a deck.

    I live in Northern Arkansas, will be a 1st time user of TWF on a deck a contractor installed wrapped around 2 sections of the home, and has been sitting for the second year. I know i need a light power washing. I like the Cedartone Natural, does the oil base give a better shine and last longer than water base ?

      I was a dealer for them and there isn’t a shine to it. It penetrates the wood. I have done decks and houses that have not needed recoated after 7 years.

      TWP does not have a shine as they are penetrating stains. We only sell oil-based.
