TWP 1500 Series 5 Gallon

Erin P:

I've ordered a 5 gallon bucket of the 1500 series stain and am planning to apply it not this weekend, but the next. The temperatures are supposed to be in the 50s during the days, but down to the high 30s in the evening. I know the optimum temperature to apply is 45 to 95 degrees, but will it be a problem if temperatures dip below 45 in the evening? What does this affect? Drying time?

It cannot drop below freezing at night while the stain is still wet. It can drop below 45 degrees but not while applying. These temps will make the dry and curing time much longer.

I am working on a cedar sided house in lake tahoe California and am wondering which product would best replace your older version of TWP515 Lt Cedar? Thank you

TWO 1515 Honeytone is essentially the same color as the 515 Light Cedar.

I was wondering if the clear would be ok on new cedar siding. I would like the color as natural as possible. It says clear has no UV protection. What do you recommend?

Clear will not prevent UV graying. Lightest tint that will is the Honeytone.

Hi. I ordered three different samples from you based on the samples shown on your web page. I like the Cedartone, but have a question about it. In my experience, most stains called "cedar", have an orangey tone. Yours does not (looks more natural). I am ready to order the 5 gals that I will need, but wanted to ask about the accuracy of your sample colors. I don't want an orangey deck! Can I safely assume that the color will be true on my 1-year old p.t. pine deck (I applied the sample to a scrap of the same decking.) Thank you.

The 1501 cedartone is a brownish/orange, not a straight orangy color.

I am staining cedar siding on my cabin and everything I read said you need 24-48 hours of dry weather after applying. It rained a little the day after I stained which was not supposed to. Should I be worried or concerned about it? I am in Washington and have over half of it left to stain so a day of dry after is going to be tough. Thanks for your help!

You will most likely not have any issues with the siding that had a small amount of rain on it the next day.

I'm considering purchasing TWP 1500 series stain for my deck in New York state. How many years can I expect this stain to be effective and shed water. I do not have a problem spending good money for a product, so long as it works!

Typically needs to be reapplied every 2 years on a horizontal surface like a deck.

Will TWP apply successfully over Sikkens Cetol 2-3 natural stain?

Can twp 1500 clear be used on IPE? I am getting conflicting results online.

TWP in general is not suggested for IPE. The clear will let the wood gray naturally (no uv protection), so if that is what you are trying to achieve then you could use the Clear but would not suggest a tinted version of the TWP 1500 on IPE.
