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.

I did the deck stain calc for 900sqft and it indicated I should get 9 gallons. But the Stain Info said each gallon covers 150-250sqft. Which means 4-6 gallons. So I don't over order, what would be good? This is only for a flat surface, no railings.

    It seems I’ve read that RAD brightener is effective in cleaning cement stain. Can I assume step 1 cleaner is okay, or she I just use brightener? How toxic is it to leafy plants?

      Not sure what you mean about concrete stains. Do you have a pic? You would use the Cleaner not the Brightener to clean.

    I have stained my deck with TWP 1500 for years, really love the stuff. Is it necessary to always strip and brighten?  Can a good scrub and a power sprayer work just as well?  My last application was 3 years ago.

      You can clean and brighten with this: https://www.twpstain.com/gemini-s-restore-a-deck-cleaner-and-brightener-kit

      Pressure washing alone does not do as good of a job.

        Thanks. I know it seems like common sense because it is definitely not rain. However, it is very wet, not dewy damp. I'll proceed.

          Do you have a moisture meter? Less than 15% is what you would need.

        TWP, I agree and have seen the difference in pressure washing alone compared to the RAD kit. The difference in the cleanness and brightness of the two is crazy. The challenge I’m having is that this week I took a couple of days to prep for stain and got the deck to look light, bright as if it couldn’t be more ready for stain.

        Since the prep I’ve waited 48 hours to stain but ….  It has not rained but I live on the west coast and every morning I wake to a deck that’s covered with the overnight marine layer. I have no idea when I’ll find a reasonable time, not to mention optimal, to stain.

        TWP, can you guys please advise?

          If it is just dew, let it burn off and stain in the afternoon.

    Getting ready to put the stain on this lovely Memorial Day weekend.
    The Mrs and I -- but this is the first time either of us have done this.

    Any videos you can point to show how it's done?  How long to wait to reapplying for the wet on wet?  When it looks like it's beginning to dry out?

    We bought the Padco Deck and Stain Pads so we are ready with that.

    Do you dunk in the bucket, or put it into a paint tray (I assume paint tray as it's easier).
    Any other words of wisdom (I did read the FAQ).

    We'll have before and after PIX for the contest!

    Please excuse just a couple more questions. Before applying RAD brightener which wood condition is preferable wet, damp or dry? Also, when applying the 1500 natural stain is it acceptable to spray stain on from the bottle used to apply the brightener if rinsed or is it best to dip a pad in a stain tray?

     Thanks for your patience

      Damp wood for brightener. You can use a pump sprayer with the stain but you should back wipe to ensure an even application.

    I have 5 gallons of 1530 natural stain remaining from work about three to four year ago. I've cleaned and will put RAD brightener on this morning. I have 700' of 6 year old redwood and 200' of, at least 20 y.o. fir that was there when we bought the house. Two questions: 1) I'm selling the house and would prefer to not buy more stain but don't want to shaft a new buyer. What are the ramifications of only putting on one coat of stain now; and 2) I'd like to stain soon after putting the brightener on but for some reason I'm thinking that the 1530 could not be applied wet on wet. Am I right about that?

    Thanks. I appreciate whatever insight you can give me.

    After finishing the staining process (Dark Oak), how long before it dries to the point it won't transfer to things put onto it (I'm thinking Rugs, Big Pillows, Dog Paws, etc)?  Should I powerwash (or just spray it down) before I do that to wash off any residual stain?

      TWP is a fully curing stain so it does not rub off. Full cure can take a few days depending on weather conditions.

    This may be a dumb question..I am looking to seal the skirt of my deck as the boards and railings are trex. Do I need to do both front and back of boards? The skirt encloses the bottom of the deck so you can’t see inside.

    Should you power wash a deck that hasn’t been treated in 5 years? What steps should be taken start to finish? Thanks in advance

    What is protocol for staining brand new cedar fence?

    John · 04/14/2023
    Have a new installed pressure treated pine deck( not the green looking it looks close to natural. The coverage on your “need help” states coverage for the 1500 series @ 150-250 sq.ft. Per gallon. Is that for one coat or 2. Also, is the 2 coats stated for both all horizontal and vertical, or just the horizontal surfaces. I am referencing the semi-transparent stain. Thank you.

    We have a large deck that is also goes half way around an above ground pool. We've used Defy in the past but it doesn't seem to hold up as the entire deck is in full sun..what is recommended to re-stain with? I'm searching for a product that will hold up longer than 1 year. I used semi transparent, but am thinking more solid of color? Any suggestions would be appreciated! We live in Wisconsin so winter weather is also a consideration

    What moisture level is required for white cedar fence? My meter reads 15 and it was installed a week ago. When the moisture is right can I just dust off the fence and start staining? Thanks!

    2021 I used the restore-a-deck stripper and brightener prior to applying the twp1530 stain.  (See pictures) I was very happy with results by the results of both the prep and the stain.  I may have had to high of expectation though when it came to longevity. I was expecting that the deck would last at least 2 years before having to redo the deck.  I live in California. The reason for my contact here is to try to understand if the expectations were out of line or maybe the application last year was faulty.  I understand it's difficult given you didn't see the work last year or how the deck appears today.  But would appreciate any comments.

      It looks "dirty" which could be from trees or just the surrounding area. The stain is intact and still working.

    I stained our new fence 4 yrs ago with the 1530 and want to reapply this spring.  What would be the best method of reapplying the same 150 stain?  Do I need to strip the old stain?

    hi again,  I see there is a clear #1500 available.  does not have UV protection.  is UV protection totally necessary in a heavily wooded location.  this staircase does get a minor amount of direct sunlight, briefly, but most of the time the sunlight is filtered through tree leaves & branches.  Jeffrey

      Clear does not have UV protection. Yes, you need tint to prevent graying.
