TWP 1500 Series 5 Gallon

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· 04/14/2020I am wanting to stain the exterior of a barn that has yellow pine board and batten. Southern Wood Specialties uses your stains and suggested I contact you. I am wanting to stain my barn a weathered grey color where I can still see some of the wood grain (looks as though it naturally weathered). What stain do you suggest. I have a couple of weeks to get it done so I would like to get it ordered as soon as possible.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWhat is the best way to ensure that the stain is mixed thoroughly before an application? I used a 5 Gallon container last time and didn't realize that the stain had settled some before I poured out a second serving maybe an hour later. Did I mix it properly?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUse a 5-gallon drill mixer on your drill. You can get them at any hardware store for about $5.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI cleaned/brightened and used one coat TWP 1500 series pecan stain on my new cedar deck last September 2019. Will I need to stain another coat again this year or what is the maintenance process?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyOnly apply another coat if it is needed. It would be the exact same process as before.

We will reply to your comment shortlySorry but no, you will need to stip off the Glidden when switching to TWP (or any other brand) of wood stain. Use this kit: https://www.twpstain.com/restore-a-deck-stripper-brightener-kit-detail

We will reply to your comment shortlyHello,
I stained my cedar fence in cedartone a couple of years ago, and it turned out to be more "reddish" than I had hoped. We are getting ready to restain, and don't know what color to choose. I was thinking the Pecan? Would that cover the existing cedartone/ be less "red" in appearance?
Thanks!-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWhen switching colors you should use the Stripper and Brightener Kit for prep. As for color, best to get some samples and test on your wood.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHi, if I have fence of area of 2160 SQ FT, how much stain product would I need?
The community where I am living have a code where I could not color the cedar fence. Which stain should I choose then so it did not have color? Should it be Natural or Cedartone? I noticed Natural seemed to suggest no UV protection?
Also if the fence is new (for the new home that close in last Dec), would I need to clean it with the deck product? Would I need to wait and weather it? Or would I be able to start staining right the way in summer time?
Thank you-
We will reply to your comment shortlyAbout 15 gallons for the one coat on new wood. Natural and Cedarteone are tinted colors. Only the Clear has no color or tint. Clear will not provide UV protection. It must be tinted or colored for UV protection. The lightest tinted color with UV protection is the Honeytone. See here about new wood and wait and prep.

We will reply to your comment shortlyDo I have to apply a sealant after the TWP stain? I can’t seemed to find sealant product online. Thanks again
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou cannot apply a sealant over a deck stain nor would there be any need to.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyFor the state of California and the fence application, should I use TWP 200 or 1500 series? I noticed there’s more color option in TWP 200? Which color of that is lightest besides clear?
thanks again-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUse the TWP 1500 for a fence on CA. The Honeytone is the lightest tinted color. Clear will not provide UV protection from graying.

We will reply to your comment shortlythe second pic is with some cheap home depot stain over the filler and over and under the twp semi transparent.
help!!! what can i do-
We will reply to your comment shortly
-
We will reply to your comment shortlySorry but there is not much you can do. Wood filler does not work on outside decking and never stains to blend with a semi transparent deck stain like TWP.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyhelp. the crew that applied my twp cedartone stain used minwax wood filler on many knots and wood pecker holes. it looks like somebody took a paint gun to my house. as it turns out this product does not work and ruined projects
the crew bought some other stain to go over the filler and it helped some but the filler just does not take stain like it is advertised to be and it keeps coming back. as of now they're going to try expresso stain to cover it up but i'm sure it will fail as well.
here are the pics.
are my options really only trying to blend the same shade brown paint over these spots?
the first pic is without the stain on it yet. -
We will reply to your comment shortlyI would really like to see pictures of the different color options on different types of wood. Anybody know if there are any on the interwebs anywhere? Link?

We will reply to your comment shortlyWe just cleaned, brightened and stained our 1 year old Cedar Deck along with one coat of 1500 pecan stain this past week. What are the normal maintenance requirements to keep the deck looking
new? Does it need to be done on a yearly basis?-
We will reply to your comment shortlySee here about new wood: https://www.twpstainhelp.com/prepping-new-wood-for-twp-stains/
Every 2-3 after is normal.

We will reply to your comment shortlyNewly built deck. Treated pine wood has been out for almost 3 months. Will applying 1500 stain now be ok or does the wood need to dry out more. Also best items for application process (roller, brush etc?)
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyHello, see this about new wood: https://www.twpstainhelp.com/prepping-new-wood-for-twp-stains/
Use stain pads or brushes for applying: https://www.twpstain.com/wood-and-deck-stains/application-tools/brushes-stain-pads

We will reply to your comment shortlyhi,
i was wondering what steps i need to do.
aprox 40yr old vertical cedar. i don't think there was anything put on it but i do not know. in some spots where there was once more shade it's black charcoal in some areas...and in other spots with water run off you can see the lighter color brown.and in some spots it seems to be dry brittle grey. not to mention some spots have small green algae on it. and 1 side is fried from the sun and needs to be replaced completely
what cleaner/stripper do i need? and how much for aprox 3200sq feet..
will this work? how much will come clean? or will the pressure wash folks have to blast it with their own solution?
also,....would any semi transparent color be better than others for me as well?
the below pics are some of the better looking sides-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou do not need to strip this but clean this. Use this kit while pressure washing: https://www.twpstain.com/gemini-s-restore-a-deck-cleaner-and-brightener-kit
You will need about 4 of the kits for 3200 sq. feet. Any color that you like will work for you for the TWP 1500 stain. That is your preference.-
We will reply to your comment shortlyi really want to make the wood as light as possible, and not have it turn out dark brown before i stain. could you possibly tell me how light it will get by looking at my pics and surmising with the restore a deck?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWith the prep kits and pressure washing, all the gray should be removed down to the bare wood. It will be much lighter.

We will reply to your comment shortlyMeant to also indicate that I'd like to have as much UV protection as possible...while trying to preserve the natural look.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI live in California. I want to purchase (2) 5 gallon drums of 101 Cedertone stain. How much would it cost out the door?
-

We will reply to your comment shortlyHad deck power washed and stripped. There is a mix of new and old wood. The new wood furred and they sanded prior to staining, ut there are some new boards that are still furred and were stained anyway. Will the stain hold?
The contractor also wants to apply another light coat (one plus weeks after) because it looks like stain really soaked in on newer boards.
Also, the water does not seem to bead when it rains. I was told that it should. Is this O.K.?-
We will reply to your comment shortlyTWP being breathable does not bead like a care wax but sheds water. How "new" is the new wood? Did you season the new wood and prep? Pictures would help.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI applied 1500 series over the weekend to a pool deck with the pool cover on. Stain got through the cover in a few areas and stained the outer white rim of the pool. I tried mineral spirits but it doesn't seem to be budging. Can you recommend something that might remove the stain? Deck looks great, the pool looks terrible. Thanks.
