TWP 1500 Series 5 Gallon

In the description it doesn't mention airless sprayer, want to be sure it is ok? Any tips? If ok, I've read elsewhere that TWP1500 is thicker than most semi-trans stains. Would .013 tip still be ok or go with .015?

It is for a fence, and the idea of brushing 300+ linear ft of fence or lugging around a 2 or 3 gallon pump sprayer sounds horrible to me. Or would it be best to brush on the initial coat (it's a new fence, aged a year) to get a nice solid coating on, and then as the years go by spray the maintenance coats?

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.[/quote]
Clear does not offer UV protection from graying. Semi-transparent will. Prep with the Gemini Restore Kit.[/quote]

3000 sq feet, rough cut cedar fence. As stated, one year old, slightly greying. How many coats would you suggest after using Restore Kit? I plan on using the pump sprayer and back rolling. Thanks.

2 coats applied wet on wet. About 25-30 total gallons will be needed.

I live in Northeast New Jersey, I just replaced on my deck wood with pressure treated lumber about 5 weeks ago. The deck gets full sun from 11pm until sunset. My old deck was cedar wood and peeled bad over a two year period. I was wondering if your product would hold up with direct sun.

Yes, but you do need to wait and prep. See this about new wood:

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.

I cleaned and prepped a 4 year old western cedar deck and would like to purchase a sample of your 1501 before I order the 4 gallons.

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:

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.
