TWP 1500 is a Semi-transparent Oil-Based wood stain and preservative that is allowed in all 50 states.

The new TWP® 1500 formula is designed to penetrate better, dry faster and outperform the previous TWP® 500 series formula.

TWP® 1500 Series is an EPA registered wood preservative which prevents structural damage and wood decay on exterior above ground wood surfaces such as fencing, decking, wood siding, log homes, and roofing. TWP® 1500 Series resists water absorption that causes warping, cracking and splitting as well as preventing freeze damage in colder climates.

TWP® 1500 Series is a low VOC preservative with special U.V. absorbing pigments that prevent unsightly wood graying, darkening and fading. The selected mildewcides inhibit the growth of mold and mildew which assist in preventing premature discoloration.

TWP® 1500 Series will keep your wood beautiful, fresh and looking new longer. The ease of application and maintenance will allow you to enjoy your investment for years to come.

We have used this product twice on our pressure-treated wood deck (. It applies easily and looks terrific when done. We are DIYers with limited experience with this sort of project, and had no trouble following the application directions. We had to address a lot of wood damage before applying it--severe UV damage, mold and mildew--but with the right prep, we couldn't be happier with the outcome. The second time we used it, we did over-apply a bit and had a lot of shiny excess stain after a few hours of drying. We read the tips here on the website and the next day we wiped off the excess using a light misting of mineral spirits and shop rags. Easy fix and it looks great. Never any peeling, which is just what we wanted, and it made our heavily damaged wood look better than we thought possible. I love finding a product that works as well as advertised.

    Hi, very happy with 1500 product used on deck railings (see picture). Although prep was very time consuming. Had to remove peeling urethane so many hours striping sanding and whitening. Result is worth it. 
    Buttttt, now I have to restain sun and weather beaten house. 8 years since built and looks like only one coat of something applied. 1. Should I use 1500 or the new 200 product on rough cut, sun worn pine(see picture)? 2. Same question for cedar. Some sun protected (see picture). 3. Now the dreadful prep. The hose is tall and I can't imagine how long it would take to tape windows, strip, whiten everything. Is there any option, I can't sand the rough cut pine. Can I powere wash and apply stain?

      Use the TWP 1500 for all wood. As for prep, it needs to be stripped and brightened to remove the old coatings. You cannot apply TWP (or any other brand) of a different brand of semi-transparent stain. To be safe, we would highly suggest getting a Boom Lift while working. It would make it so much easier as well.

    We have just recently remodeled our deck with new standard pressure treated lumber. About 30 days ago we treated the wood with Thompson's WaterSeal Clear Wood Sealer Clear Oil-Based Wood Sealant. We wanted the natural look but now realizing that this is not a good option for UV protection. We are going to purchase this product and would like to know when I apply your product can I put it directly over the sealer already on there or do I need to sand it down first or is there a product you recommend to strip it. Thanks!

    I have a Yellow Cedar deck. Built Fall 2021. July 2022 I stained the deck following all instructions of Olympic Summit, Stain + Sealant, Woodland Oil, Transparent, Natural, product code 801102C. After one winter, every part of the deck that was snow covered if peeling off. After I strip and sand the deck to remove all of this stain that didn't last 12 months, should I leave it unprotected, or is there a product that would last 2+ years. We live in Fernie, BC, Canada where we get significant snow and a few thaw-freeze cycles per winter. Thanks for any suggestions of what I should use (if anything) after starting over

    I have a brand new fir decking on my covered front porch. Want to keep the color and look of the wood. Should I use 1500 or 1530 or a different one. Don’t really wanna stain it. Just seal it but with some Uv protection if possible   Thanks

      I bought 3 samples to select the stain for my one year old deck. Natural 1530 was light and highlighted the knots and grain enough to keep it natural looking, yet UV protected. I went with it. Samples will help you make a good decision.

      See here about new wood: https://www.twpstainhelp.com/prepping-new-wood-for-twp-stains/

      If you want UV protection then you must use a tinted stain color. 1515 Honeytone is the lightest tint.

        would there be any application or drying issues with using 1515 Honeytone for a first coat. And then 1500 Clear for the second coat of wet on wet.  would like some UV protection, but not all the color

    Is your Black Walnut the same as Dark Walnut? My builder listed TWP Dark Walnut Gel Stain on our spec sheet. Need to re-stain deck and wood on house from original TWP stain in 2018 but cannot find “dark walnut” on your site. Thx!

    I have a 20+ year old PT deck located in southern Ohio that I have used TWP  1530 on for the past 10+ years.  I need to recoat it (2 years since it has been stained) and I intend to use the Gemeni Cleander and Brightener before recoating and will be recoating with TWP 1530.  My question is when do you consider sanding necessary?  My deck boards have been sanded several times in the past and currently show no signs of splintering.

    I have a covered porch that is smooth wood. It is previously covered with varnish and looks like indoor floors would except on the stairs that are now peeling. I used twp on my back deck and want to do it on the porch too. Am I able to do that if it’s super smooth wood that’s more like a floor than a deck? There is no space between boards. I was going to sand the varnish off but would the wood be too smooth to accept the stain?

      Sand with 60-80 grit paper to remove the varnish and then final prep with the Gemini Restore Kit. One coat of the TWP only.

    I have a new 3 level deck that has weathered for 12 months now. It has grayed so we will use Gemini Restore Kit to clean and prep. House is Taupe in color and deck railings are white. Coastal location with lots of sun on 2 upper decks most of day. Which series do you recommend I use?

    Can the TWP 1500 clear deck stain be customized with a tinted color?  If so which tint is best to mix into the clear deck stain?

        You can mix any color 1500 series with the 1500 clear. I mixed the 1503 with the 1500 using 3 gallons of 1503 with 1 gallon of 1500. Installed the mix on western red cedar fence in 2018 and it is still one of the best looking fences in my neighborhood. You cannot mix 1500 series with 100 or 200 series product. Side note: Using clear will lighten the color you use but the clear has no real UV protection that is in the tint. TWP does not customize colors. Find your ratio by mixing small amounts, 3 tbs to 1 tbs and apply to same wood as on deck or fence before apply to installed deck or fence. My fence is 7 yrs old and lost some color so my ratio on touch up will be maybe 2/2. PS The fence has seen 5 or 6 state hurricanes and I live near the Gulf of Mexico.

    I need to reseal my pergola made from Doug fir and western red cedar.  I sealed it in 2016 with 1500 in dark walnut.  What is the proper prep for this?  I plan on pressure washing.  Anything else?

        around 384 - 400 sq foot range.  It's one side of a lattice fence so I am not sure if that is a bump up or down.  Thank you

          3-4 gallons should be about right for two coats.

            More questions.

            We purchased and hand brush apply TWP 1515 slightly over 2 years ago on the new fence and it looks like attached picture now.

            We are getting new fences this month and we are wondering if 1515 is too light for UV protection, and if we can reply more on some of the problematic fences post power wash.  Or if we need to go darker?

            thank you

    I just added new rough cut cedar to my deck railings.  How long do I need to wait to stain the rough cut cedar and what is the optimal temperature range for the application?  It's December in TX and the high temps are in the mid to low 50s with early morning temps in the mid 30s to mid 40s.

    Am installing a cypress wood ceiling in a SW Florida covered lanai area.  It is a covered area with not direct sun or water, just the humidity in the air.  What is the best product, and how long can i expect it to last

      Use the TWP 1500 Series. It should last for many years since it is covered. 5-10.

    I stained my deck 3 years ago with TWP 1500 series. As you can see, it’s definitely ready to be re-stained. Since the stain is so blotchy, would it be best if I strip and brighten, or will cleaning and brightening be adequate prep? Also, I sanded the rail caps which had a different brand of stain, is cleaning and brightening adequate?

      Clean and brighten all while pressure washing will work for this.

      No. You will have to remove any prior stain brands first before using the TWP.

    I've been using TWP 100 for 10 years and love it.  Now it cannot be shipped to Colorado so I am forced to go with the TWP 1500.   Several basic questions and I cannot figure out how to search the Q&A.   Can I go right over the 100 with the 1500?   How will the 1500 compare with the 100?   Thank you!

      The 1500 lasts the same as the 100 series. For prep strip and brighten for prep with the Restore A Deck kit.

    I have 4, 12x12x12 cypress beams and 4, 8x8x10 cypress beams I want to stain. How many gallons would you suggest? I would like to stay as close as possible to the natural color. After looking at your gallery 1520 Pecan looks to be the closest, would you agree?

      Total sq footage of all sides that are being stained? color vary based on wood type and age so there is no way to say for sure how it will look on your wood. Best to test samples: https://www.twpstain.com/stain-samples
