    I have a cedar deck that is 25+ years old. Previously we used super deck stain and it worked well. The past 4 years the deck has become our main entrance into the house and the super deck just doesn't hold up to the traffic. Would your stain be a better fit for my application? We also live in the northern part of SD. How does your product hold up to our summers and winters and how long will the stain normally last before we have to reapply

    Michael, use the 1500 Series for this. Two coats wet on wet for this older deck.

    Greetings. I have a pressure treated southern pine deck which has been neglected (by me) for 15. The wood is weather beaten and cracked in places. I used to put wood preservative on it periodically - Cuprinol.
    It has never been stained. I am now in the process of cleaning the deck with a power washer to remove dirt, grit and mold. I will also sand and expect to get the deck down to almost original wood. What should I use - I have read your reviews and you are rated No. 1. We live in a harsh climate - Central Vermont where we experience all extremes. It is now mid-September.

    Thank you.

    I have a 7 yr old redwood deck that was previously stained. I sanded the entire deck with 40 grit sandpaper so the wood looks new but is not baby bottom smooth. Should I go with the 2 coats (wet on wet) or should 1 be OK? Any other tips as I am not sure if this situation falls under "new" deck or not? Thanks

    Kenny, wait until Spring, prep with the Gemini Restore Kit and use the 100 Series.

    We just installed a new pressure treated pine deck. I understand we should wait 4-12 months to stain so the wood will accept the stain better. Is the 100 or the 1500 series recommended for North Carolina? What is the best way to tell if it is ready to stain?

    Zion, no you cannot apply TWP or any brand on top of Behr. You must remove the Behr first.

    Hi I was wondering if this product can be used to stain over a bear stain product.

    Steve F, after removing the BM Arborcoat with the sanding it would be helpful to use the Gemini Restore Kit to remove the sand dust and "open" the wood grain for the stain.

    Krisworks, you are supposed to wait 4+ months for new wood before staining. Only 1 coat on newer wood. You can use the 1500 on the other deck after removing the Penofin with the Stripper.

    Can I use the wood cleaners/brighteners and 1500 stain on my cedar shake roof on my gazebo? It was never cared for by the previous owner.

    We installed an 800+ sq/ft cedar deck in July. I have Restore-a-Deck cleaner and brightener on the ready. The deck faces east and gets spotted sun throughout the day with one small area that receives little to no sun most times of the year. Can I apply TWP 1500 now? Also I have a 200+ sq/ft deck that was installed in January that faces west with many trees around. I used Penofin Oil on it, but it looks awful. I have Restore-a-Deck Stripper. Will the TWP 1500 work for that as well? -- Thanks, Kris

    douglas fir decking, 7 years old, current pealing solid color BM Arborcoat - will pressure wash and sand off before application. 6x18 covered front porch, and two long uncovered steps leading up to it.

    Deck is 4 years old. Pressure-treated lumber. Some mildew. Previously stained with pigmented Behr (Home Depot) sealer that was reported to last for 5 years. Deck is 10'X10' with railings, spindles and 5 stairs.

    If I purchase the 5 gallon container, can the remainder be used next spring to seal the new deck on the back of my house? What's the shelf life of the product? How long does shipment take?
