Timothy Lillard:

12 year old deck of roofed but open porch, of birch, attractive and in good condition except that there is a stain from some spill, and the sunny edges are kind of gray. Mildew always an issue with a good amount of shade from trees and roof, and in upstate NY with plenty of precipitation, clouds, cool and cold weather. Previously treated with Cabot, either natural or clear, and we have cleaned and sanded it; leaving some white in the softer layers of the grain in the sunnier portion of the deck.

Did you remove all of the Cabot? If so apply two coats wet on wet of the TWP 1500 Series. If not, you should remove the Cabot with this:

Birch deck under covered but open porch, 12 years old, in good condition except for some graying on the sunny edge, some mildew, and a stain that no solvent removes.
We previously stained deck with a neutral or clear Cabot, or maybe Sikkens stain.
We have used deck cleaners, and then sanded it. We live in upstate NY, plenty of precipitation, clouds, cool and cold weather, and mostly shaded by trees in the afternoon.
Are we done with prep, and which TWP to use?
Thanks, Tim

1. Age: 30 years
2. Type: treated pine
3. Condition: pretty good
4. Previously stained with: Pittsburgh Paints Ultra Advanced Semi-Transparent Deck, Fence & Siding Stain
5. Area: Exterior Deck
I have already scrubbed my deck with Behr All-In One Wood Cleaner. Do I need to do any other prep?
I live in Illinois so should I be considering your 1500 Series Deck Stain? If so, can you email me the instructions on the can so I know how to apply and what accessories to get?

The previous coating will need to be removed during the prep. If the cleaner did not remove the old stain, then use the Restore A Deck Stripper Kit. The TWP 1500 is the correct product for IL. All application and prep instructions can be found here:

Do I need to sand smooth We live in Northern Vermont, We are looking to use the 1500, or what you might suggest.
Sioncerely, Jeff Eaton

Did you remove all of the Cabot? As for the furring, lightly sand or buff prior to applying the 1500 Series.

Estella Draheim:

Used Penofin stain on cedar deck 2 years ago, and it turned out deck black, and still tacky (gross). Do we use cleaner and brightener? If we just want a wet cedar look do we use TWP 100 or 1500?

Use the Restore A Deck Stripper and Brightener to remove the Penofin. Use either series. Honeytone color.

Norman Davis:

Question: under the best of circumstances (wood quality, prep. application, etc.) how long will TWP 1500 last?

2-3 years for a deck. For horizontal areas such as fences and houses, it can last 4-7 years.

I sanded, whitened, and applied Ready Seal on my deck last month before I learned that Ready Seal doesn't hold up as well as TWP. My mistake. In two years, when my Ready Seal coating has faded to grey, can I apply a maintenance coat of TWP 1500 on top or do I need to strip the deck first? That was a lot of work. Thanks

You will need to strip but the good news is that Ready seal comes off very easy.

Purchased TWP 101 Cedartone a little over a year ago. Beautiful reddish tone, heard there has been a change to your product. Will the color still be the same?

There have been no changes in the TWP 101 in the last 20 years.
