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.

    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

      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.

    I am looking for a color in the 1500 series to coordinate with a "mocha" stained cedar gazebo from Costco. It needs to have little yellow/ orange tones. It is on a deck that has an orange ish stail now that will be stripped. What color would you suggest. Pic attached

      TWP does not have a color like that. Closest would be Honeytone but it will be much richer.

    I would like to use as close to clear as possible but want UV protection. I'm doing a redwood fence and lattice and want to preserve the look it has without too much tint. Which of the tints is the closest to clear, Natural, Cedartone or Honeytone?

      Patricia Marie Harro · 04/23/2020
      I need to know the same thing. I want clear so the word stays natural color. What is the negative on clear not having UV protection?
      • We will reply to your comment shortly
        TWP Stains · 04/23/2020
        That is not possible. Clear will not retain the color and will gray in months. It must be tinted for protection from graying.
        • We will reply to your comment shortly
          Don McCracken · 04/23/2020
          I'm going with Honeytone as that looks the closest to clear as in my original question.

    I 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.

    What 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?

      Use a 5-gallon drill mixer on your drill. You can get them at any hardware store for about $5.

    I 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 shortly
      TWP Stains · 03/28/2020
      Only apply another coat if it is needed. It would be the exact same process as before.

    Hello,

    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!

    Hi, 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

      About 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.

        Do 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 shortly
          TWP Stains · 02/25/2020
          You cannot apply a sealant over a deck stain nor would there be any need to.

            LL · 02/26/2020
            For 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

              Use the TWP 1500 for a fence on CA. The Honeytone is the lightest tinted color. Clear will not provide UV protection from graying.

    the 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

      The majority of your Fence looks lovely. I would simply buy some acrylic paint in brown ad beige to mix a custom color to cover and blend in the patches of wood filler shining through
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      TWP Stains · 10/20/2019
      Sorry 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.

    help. 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.
