    Can you tell me how long a shaken/stirred gallon of TWP will stay mixed before recommending shaking/stirring again?
    Thanks.

    If you are applying the stain, remix every 30 minutes or so should be okay.

    I have a 12 yr old pressure treated deck that has several applications of Flood oil base stain. The deck has been power washed. will TWP 1500 work on the power washed surface or do I need to do something additional.

    The Flood will need to be removed fully. Strip or sand to remove.

    Looking to protect vertical 1x10" board and batten siding. Material is eastern white pine. Age of wood is a approx. three months. It is in very good condition and has not been stained previously.

    Use the 1500 Series. If rough cut, you can stain now.

    I am buying a cedar house that was stained using the TWP 200 series. It is due to be restained. I am told a latex based stain is best. Is TWP a latex paint? also should a clear coat be applied over the stain color?

    TWP is not a latex based stain but oil-based. It is not possible or needed to apply a clear coat over top.

    I am restoring a redwood bench for our pier. I have been sanding for two weeks and it is finally ready to go. I have TWP 1500 redwood (wow that's dark) I am wondering if I can put anything over the TWP to help fill in some surface topography and possible splinters? How many coats am I supposed to put on this bench? This is a very old bench and I have sanded it for 2 weeks and probably could sand for 2 more but tomorrow I stain.

    No, it is not possible to top coat TWP. Appy 1-2 coats or as much as the wood allows the stain to absorb. TWP needs to soak into the wood grain 100%

    I built a horizontal plank fence using western red cedar 6 weeks ago. I want to seal/stain it with a semi-transparent stain to keep guard against UV decay and to keep the reddish hues visible. Do you recommend I use the 100, 200, or 1500 series? Thanks!

    The 1500 Series. See this about new wood and TWP:

    We built our large cedar deck in the spring of 2014 and stained it with Sherwin Williams Deckscape oil based stain. The stain started to peel almost immediately once the rain started. Three years later, the old stain is almost entirely gone and we'd like to start fresh. After we power wash the deck, what product should we use to clean it and can you recommend a color that closest resembles wet cedar? We don't want it to be orange. Also, in case it matters, we live in the Pacific Northwest. Thanks for the help!

    Use the Restore A Deck Stain Stripper Kit to remove the remaining SW while pressure washing. Brighten the wood after. Look at the Honeytone color.

    I built 5 white oak park benches of which the oldest will be 5 years old soon. Two years ago I refinished that bench with the original product which is basically just UV protection. I feel the benches need better protection. They are in the hot California sun all day, every day during the summer.

    I am looking at TWP 1500 unless you have another suggestion. Also, I am thinking a lighter color stain over a dark stain would be better for sun protection? Any other ideas to preserve these benches would help. They were made for a very finicky customer.

    Not sure what you mean about "lighter color over a dark stain". TWP cannot be applied on top of a stain of another brand and you cannot apply a dark TWP color and then apply a lighter color on top. TWP 1500 is the best product for this but you do need to prep properly. See this for more info:
