TWP 1500 5 Gallon Stain
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 will reply to your comment shortly· 07/14/2020Misread. It's calculated based on 200sq.ft. coverage/gallon.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI will be stripping and refinishing my redwood deck in direct sunlight as there is no shade around my deck. I live in San Diego and the temp where I live reaches 88-100+ degrees In the summertime with about 15% humidity. I will be using TWP 1515 honeytone stain. So, in high temps, How can I determine if the wood is ready for the 2nd coat without waiting too long?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyHi Frank. I also live in San Diego and stained last month. 30 mins gave the first coat enough time to soak in, but w/o drying. It dries slowly, so I probably could've waited longer. I also allowed the second coat to soak for 30 mins before wiping off excess. It is easy to recoat annually or whenever you think you need it. Wiping off all excess before it gets too tacky is critical.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIf doing a second coat it needs to be applied wet on wet or 20-60 minutes after the first coat. Typically decks that are older and very dried out will require the wet on wet application.

We will reply to your comment shortlyCan I get by with one coat of stain for a fence? Also how many gallons? Will be using a airless spray painter on 165 ft long, 6ft tall privacy fence on both sides
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyOne coat may not cover correctly as wood fences are very absorbent. For 2000 sq feet, you would need about 20 gallons for two coats.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThat comes to 100sq.ft. coverage per gallon, much lower than what's specified. Is this typical for fence due to high absorbance?
-
We will reply to your comment shortly100 Sq feet per gallon for 2 coats is correct. The spec is one coat.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWhat is the shelf life for the stain? Can a open gallon/5gallon be usable the next year or so? Best recommendation

We will reply to your comment shortlyI used Red Wood, love the product not super thrilled about the color and that is my fault. I can live with it, the question is: If i want to "change colors" without stripping and starting all over.. How long can one expect to wait for the new stain to fade and to switch to another TWP color? What are my best options to achieve my goal of altering to color more towards a natural/ brown stain. Thanks in advance
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou will have to strip to switch colors. You can do that now or latter.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI Have recently cleaned and scrubbed all the Mildew off our Deck. Upper and lower . The wood Needs sealing ! what would you recommend 1 or 2 coats. It has been 4yrs. since last did with TWP1511 California Redwood. I appreciate your product. (The outside panels are Still in Great shape.)

We will reply to your comment shortlyTwo coats wet on wet application.

We will reply to your comment shortlyIs it safe to touch up the sides of the deck boards after the top is dry?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou would have to be very careful to not leave spot stains on top of the boards.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI stripped and sealed my deck with the TWP 1500 7 years ago, do you recommend re-stripping and sealing or just paint/seal over it? Thanks!

We will reply to your comment shortlyI just stained my deck but I feel another coat would be best on the floor. I ordered another gallon. Can I simply apply it over the last cost if its been a week since my application?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou do not need more and adding too much at this point could result in it not curing correctly and being sticky and tacky.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyHow does one get rid of the tackiness?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyLet it cure/dry for a few days or longer.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI used some of your stain a couple of years ago on my fence and want to order more. I'm not sure what color I used and want to use the same color again. Is it possible you have some sort of record of my purchase? Dave Rouch, 3410 Morris Ave., Pueblo, CO 81008. Thanks, Dave

We will reply to your comment shortlyIgnore the three middle samples, they're from a big box stores. The left is Dark Oak and the right is Rustic, both applied yesterday. Are these accurate? They both look a little different than pictures

We will reply to your comment shortlyJust for your info I stripped the deck and then sanded and used the brightener. So next year I can just use the cleaner and brightener then stain? I used the TWP natural it looks really nice!
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes, clean and brighten for prep.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI just used TWP transparent 1500 next year can I by just cleaning the deck and use again?

We will reply to your comment shortlyHi - I'm about to retreat my deck, that was previously treated with TWP a few years ago.On your "Stain Info " you state 1-2 coats - Is this recommended ? Also you state "wet on wet " how much time can elapse before the 2nd coat ? Thanks
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe second coat goes on 20-60 minutes after the first coat.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHopefully the last questions! I want the deck close to a natural western red cedar "look". But 90% of the deck is nearly 20 years old and the rest "replacement" boards I installed last summer. I think the last time I refinished the deck I used "Cedartone" and it was darker than I wanted. How would the "Honeytone" or "Natural" do based on the different age of my deck boards? Would they blend the two different looking boards well enough? Also,you've suggested 7-8 gallons for a double wet on wet application on my 800 sq ft deck. If I buy 2-5 gallon buckets, what's the "shelf life" of the leftover stain, will it be good in a year or two for a light touch up? Really appreciate your feedback! Thanks, David
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyHello,
No, you cannot blend new and old boards with any TWP color. The newer boards will be lighter in color no matter what. See here: https://www.twpstainhelp.com/shelf-life-of-twp/

We will reply to your comment shortlyI've used the two step Restore-A-Deck to prep my old western red cedar deck. First question, which finish should I use: TWP 1500 or Armstrong Clark? Do both use the double wet on wet application method? And how much stain will I need to do a two coat wet on wet for 800 sq. feet of deck?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUse the TWP 1500. Two coats wet on wet. About 7-8 gallons.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI am looking for a color in the 1500 series to coordinate with a "mocha" stained cedar gazebo from Costco. It needs to have little yellow/ orange tones. It is on a deck that has an orange ish stail now that will be stripped. What color would you suggest. Pic attached
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyTWP does not have a color like that. Closest would be Honeytone but it will be much richer.
