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.

    We stripped and brightened our 3 uear old deck on Sunday and planned to stain today (Wed) to allow the 48 hours dry time, however woke up this morning to (unforecasted) light rain.  Assuming it stoos this morning, will we be okay to stain tomorrow (Thursday) or do we need 48 hours to dry again?  We have a planned trip out of town Friday - Sunday and then rain in the forecast Monday.  We can cancel our trip if necessary but prefer not to.  As always, thank you! for your prompt reply!

      48 hours of drying after rain or prep. You will push it by staining it 24 hours later.

    Love the product. Been using it for years. Wondering why this year the application came out a bit blotchy? (dark spots in areas). Used the same method, cleaner + brightener, pressure washed, then stained. Any suggestions for the next time?

      Looks like the prep was uneven. Do you have an after prep pic?

    What's the difference between the original and 1500 series.  I've used TWP for 20+ years but not the newer series.  My neighbors can't believe my fence looks so great after almost 30 years since I put up and I want to keep it looking that way.

      The difference is VOC content. The 100 Series cannot be used in all states.

    We have a 1 year old cedar fence rough sawn and plan to use 1500 Rustic or Dark Oak, clean and brighten. We have a double sided friendly neighbor fence, the same on both sides. See attached pic.

    Can we do a single coat on all horizontals and verticles? Or do we need to do 2 coats wet on wet? What is the pros and cons of single vs 2 coats on our specific fence design? If 1 cost is possible then which color would look best?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      TWP Stains · 09/09/2022
      Two coats is suggested with rough sawn as it may dry blotchy with only one coat since the wood is very porous.

        Michiyo O · 09/09/2022
        Thanks for your reply! I saw the below on your website that says one coat for most instances. IF we choose one coat which color Rustic or Dark Oak would be better for less blotchyness?

        Note: New Rough Sawn vertical wood/fencing can be stained right away with no wait and with no prep as it does not have mill glaze and is very absorbent. Just make sure the wood is fully dry. If Rough sawn wood has aged or oxidized (grayed) then it will need to be prepped with Gemini Restore Kit. One coat for most instances of newly installed Rough Sawn wood.

        Additionally when using the Gemini kit can the wood be damp? Or does it have to be completely dry?

          Two coats for rough sawn wood that is a year old.  Darker colors will not make a difference.

          Wood can be damp for Gemini Kit.

    Well used western red cedar deck stained with TWP 1500 series in color “Pecan”.  Prep was done using RAD stripper + sanding with 60 grit and orbital sander + RAD brightener (note: we removed our picket rail and will be replacing it with cable rail). Pecan is a beautiful color and looks nice on cedar.

    How long after cedar fence installation should I wait to apply TWP 1500? The wood seems very dry and it’s been very hot this summer. I’ve read you should wait 4-8 weeks for fence to dry out but this does not seem applicable. What is the square foot coverage? I’ve got 3,900 square feet of fence front and back.

    How long does the stain need to be applied before it can get wet?  
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      TWP Stains · 09/01/2022
      6-24 hours. Depends on UV exposure and temps.

    We have dew moisture in the morning…should I wait until the deck is dry from the dew before applying the stain?

      Of course. TWP cannot be applied to damp wood.

    I stained 48hr ago and it still looks wet. Will this dry tacky? I did a 2nd wet on wet coat and used the brush broom you sell to apply and back brush puddles. How long until it’s fully dry? It’s been slightly humid but nothing crazy.

    I,stained my older wooden deck with 1500 stain. It rained hard 30 hours later. Before the storm moved in the weather was ideal, light breeze, Upper 70’s, sunny, low humidity. Will the stain be ok, will it hold up?

    Hi I want to protect my cedar fence with two 1500. It’s 8 months old. Do I need to use restore a deck or prep in any way? The posts are pressure treated. Can I use two 1500 it in pressure treated wood?
    thanks

    TWP 1500 Series black walnut do you have deck photos of this color? How can I get a sample? I don’t want anything orange, red or yellow tones as I have a light blue house. Looking for cooler tones. 11 year old deck I don’t know how dark this color is.

    Looking at your stain description trying to find the lightest color but with much less orange/amber. Between #1530, #1515, #1501 and #1520 which color will have the least orange/amber tone on cedar?  (I have samples of #1530 & #1520 and they both have an orange tone to them despite having some brown in them according to the descriptions). Thank you ?

      1501 is the brownest of the 4.

    I put TWP 1501 on my deck several years ago.  What cleaning product do I need to use to clean and prepare the deck for restraining with the same stain?

    Hello, we ordered five gallons of 1503 dark oak and RAD stripper & brightener. I’m so excited to refinish our deck! I think the dark oak will look beautiful.  I have two questions: #1, after we use the RAD stripper & brightener we will need to do some sanding: stripping the cedar always raises the grain and leaves furry patches. After sanding do we need to wash the deck or just blow it off with a blower?  #2 for long term maintenance, what do we clean the deck with?  Do we use “wet and forget” or simply soap and water or what do you recommend?  We live on the coast of Oregon where cedar decks tend to get some mold/algae and darken on the surface especially in winter and spring when we have precipitation so it will eventually need to have the surface cleaned. Thank you for the reply

      1. Wash off the sand dust.
      2. Wet and Forget or soapy water is fine for cleaning off dirt, etc.
