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.

    A friend stained our deck three years ago with TWP and it was great. We just powerwashed and are planning on staining the deck ourselves this year. Do we use one coat or two? Can we upgrade from 100 series to 1500?

      Stick with the same color and series. We would need to see a picture of your prep to determine how many coats are needed.

    Calculated square footage for my deck, roughly 1031 sq ft, deck has very worn stain, will be doing strip and brighten first. Is the 1000 sqft coverage per 5 gal based on one or two coats? Was planning on getting 10 gals anyways, should that be enough?

    Will also be doing a two tone look - Light stain on top of railing and floor, and dark on verticals.

      For 2 coats you would need about 8-10 gallons but that does vary based on wood type and the age of the wood.

    Misread. It's calculated based on 200sq.ft. coverage/gallon.

    I 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?

      Hi 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.

      If 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.

    Can 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

      One 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 shortly
        Milos · 07/14/2020
        That 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 shortly
          TWP Stains · 07/14/2020
          100 Sq feet per gallon for 2 coats is correct. The spec is one coat.

    What is the shelf life for the stain? Can a open gallon/5gallon be usable the next year or so? Best recommendation

    I 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

      You will have to strip to switch colors. You can do that now or latter.

    Is it safe to touch up the sides of the deck boards after the top is dry?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      TWP Stains · 06/16/2020
      You would have to be very careful to not leave spot stains on top of the boards.

    I 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!

    I 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?

      You do not need more and adding too much at this point could result in it not curing correctly and being sticky and tacky.

          Let it cure/dry for a few days or longer.

    I 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

    Ignore 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

    Just 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!

    Hi - 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 shortly
      TWP Stains · 05/01/2020
      The second coat goes on 20-60 minutes after the first coat.

    Hopefully 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

    I'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 shortly
      TWP Stains · 04/28/2020
      Use the TWP 1500. Two coats wet on wet. About 7-8 gallons.
