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.

    I have a cedar fence here in northern Illinois. It is one year old and is just starting to grey. I want to remove the gray. I am torn between just using a clear 1500 or a semi-transparent. If I use the clear, how is the durability? Do I need more than one coat? Finally, what should I use to prep? Thanks in advance.

    My deck has a bench on it with some of the resin bench brackets. Will the 1500 stick to the resin brackets???

    Most likely will not.

    Tried to order, but the cart doesn't show shipping charges. I wanted 4 gal of T1500 and gemini kit. It says "free shipping for 5 gal" only. So is it free for 4 gal plus Gemini? Or I need to order 5 gal to get free shipping?

    5 Gallon pail and Gemini Kit is free shipping if you use the combo package:

    4 singles does not qualify for free shipping. Shipping charges will show in cart after you add your shipping info. It populates automatically.

    I am choosing TWP1500 stain.
    I would like to know if darker colors will give greater
    Coverage. That is, be less transparent.
    Would I get better coverage with pecan over natural
    This is being applied on semi transparent stained
    pressured Treated deck.Thank you

    Darker colors do not have greater coverage but they will protect from UV longer. Coverage is the same for all colors.

    We have stripped our 2.5 year old redwood deck. It was stained originally with Behr Premium transparent weather proofing all in one wood finish . Color : Cedar Naturaltone #501. I think your Redwood stain is close as the rail decking will remain as is and I would like the color to be as close as possible. Thank You

    Try some samples to test:

    Ken Cedar:
    I'm building a 4 foot cedar fence with rough pickets. Total length is about 140 feet. Is 1500 the best bet and how much would I need. Also, purchased wood from Menards but am concerned about putting up fence, having it dry over months and then having it turn gray. Will natural color return with this product. Last question, how much prep is needed or can I just brush it on? Thanks!

    If the wood is rough sawn then you can stain now as long as the wood is dry. No prep will be needed. For both sides you have roughly 1100 sq. feet. For two coats applied wet on wet, you will need about 10 gallons.

    I'm replacing my stockade fencing. Hear great reviews about your 1500 series. My questions are: Is this product recommended for spruce pine fir and what would the best color for the spruce pine be? And secondly I'm installing 23 6'by 8' sections. How many gallons would I need? Thank you.

    Yes it will work on your wood type. Any color will work, not sure what you are looking for. As for amount, I assume you are doing both side. This would come to 2100-2200 sq. feet. You will need about 20 gallons for two coats.

    How does the 1500 series work on Alaskan Yellow Cedar, I've read of folks having issues with this wood taking a stain.

    It will work fine as long as the wood is prepped correctly and the TWP is not over applied. Also if new wood, it needs to weather for 4-12 months:

    I am about to install 5/4 x 6 Meranti Deck in NY. I see that you advise not to apply the TWP 1500 finish to any new decking material for 4-12 months. I do not have a problem finishing the deck in April but what about the sides and bottom of the boards. Would it be advisable to apply a coat of sealer on these to protect them from the weather as they will not be accessible after the deck is installed.

    There is no need to stain the underside or edges. Just the exposed wood after install and weathering.
