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.

    How many sq feet does 5 gallons cover? I’m staining my deck 350 sq feet and want to do 2 coats of black walnut. I’m happy with color sample.

      3-4 gallons for 350 sq feet and two coats.

    We have a sinker cypress porch floor that was installed in 2014. We have used TWP 1500 series since installation and love the color and UV protection. Our problems are scratches from our pups and indentations from high heels. Can a clear marine varnish be applied over the TWM 1500 series stain?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      TWP Stains · 09/17/2023
      No. TWP cannot be top-coated. It will peel if you apply a marine varnish.

    We have a Missouri red cedar deck and have used cedar tone on it in the past but it doesn’t give it the red color. It is orange/brown.  I was going to use clear but understand it would have no UV protection. Would the natural color work and keep it more like the wood and give protection. I’m getting ready to strip the old color and brighten it with restore a deck products. Waiting on a little cooler weather and it’s coming. It’s a big project. I was going to let it gray but hubby wants nothing to do with that. We’ve always used TWP but not pleased the past time with colo.

    I have a fence that requires staining. Side 1 was built 5 years ago, currently has old PPG stain on it (we do not like the color). Side 2 was built 3 years ago and has never been stained. Side 3 and Side 4 were built one month ago, no not stained. As I try to follow your prep and stain practices, I am trying to figure out the correct timeline for staining my entire fence at one time. Do I need to wait so the new wood is aged and start with the Gemini and follow with TWP 1500?

    Personally, I’m partial to the 1530 natural. However given the intensity of the Arizona son, these guys might have better suggestions for preserving wood health and fade avoidance.

    Do I need to prep a ponderosa pine fence, wood cut fall 2022, milled March 2023, constructed July 2023?  The wood is seeping small beads of sap which has greatly slowed in the month since construction and hot day and sun exposure.  Do I need to apply one or two coats?

    I have a house with cedar siding that I guess had some sort of polyurethane protecting it. It badly needed some care, especially on the south side, having turned dark gray there. 

    I had someone corn blast off the previous finish and the next step will be to sand off the bits that the corn blasting didn't get and smooth out the surface. The wood is looking much brighter now, much closer to new.

    I want to stain with TWP 1500 natural, and I'm wondering what to do for the next step.
    Q1: Do I need to do Gemini Restore-A-Deck Kit steps 1 and 2 before I apply the TWP 1500 stain?
    Q2: Do I apply one coat of TWP 1500 or two?

      1. Post some pics of the prep.
      2. Most likely two coats applied wet on wet.

      You do not want the wood surface smooth. You want it porous. Do not sand finer than 60 grit.

          Looks good to stain now. You will need two coats applied wet on wet.

    Hi. My redwood deck is 2.5 years old, and was stain with TWP1511 in spring 2021. After two years area that is exposed to the elements have lost its water protection capability while area under arbor still look good.
    You have previously advised me to use gemini restore kit to prep the deck before restaining. 

    Q1: My painter said I need to power wash the deck after applying the restore kit? Is it correct? 

    Q2: I have tried experimenting restaining two planks without the restore kit. See photo. It seems ok. Do I have to use the restore kit? What’s the purpose of it.

    Q3: Do I need to use the restore kit on the area under cover that still look good?

      1. Yes.
      2. Yes, you have to prep. You cannot stain without prepping first. Leads to premature failure and unevenness.
      3. Yes everywhere.

      The number one reason for stain failure is not prepping correctly. Don't skip the steps to save a few dollars.

    I am staining new, rough cut, western red cedar prior to assembly of a pergola.  I live in Iowa.  It will be in Southern exposure sun.  What product do you recommend?  I will need 6 gallons but prefer the gallon size over the 5 gallon size.  Do you offer free shipping for 6 single gallons? If not what is estimated shipping to 52402? Thank you.

    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.
