TWP 200 Series 1 Gallon
TWP 200 Series is now available to be shipped to Canada!
The TWP 200 Series was designed for shakes and shingles but can be used for all exterior wood surfaces such as fencing, log homes, cedar framed homes, etc.
TWP 200 Series is a semi-transparent oil based penetrating finish designed to extend the life of exterior wood such as cedar shake siding, and shingles. Containing a paraffin oil, TWP 200 series penetrates wood extremely well. The Paraffin oil is a "non-drying" oil that enhances the wood cells structural stability. This greatly improves the woods life and appearance.
TWP 200 Series primary function is to enhance the structural integrity and appearance of aged roofing. The finish composition will minimize grain cracking, cupping, surface erosion, water absorption and surface attack from mildew and algae. Although the system is highly penetrative, the residual surface film is highly resistant to destructive organisms. The penetrative portion of the product absorbs into aged and porous wood, adding bulk to aged and brittle wood fiber. This restores lubricity and flexibility to brittle shingles. At 94%+ solids, these products comply with all current federal and state VOC (volatile organic compounds) regulations.
TWP 200 SERIES will not crack, peel or blister making maintenance an easy task to perform for extended wood protection.

We will reply to your comment shortly· 07/12/2023I recently have replaced and now stained my deck boards in the appropriate timeline. I now want to protect the original 15 year old framework under the decking. It gets wet and has a green algae grow on it. Would TWO 200 be the best product to help restore, and protect the old framework from the constance wetting and drying as well as the protection against algae and wood eating insects?

We will reply to your comment shortlyContractor used TWP-200 on decking 9 days ago. The areas of the decking that don't get much sun are still a bit oily- we can easily pick up residue from the stain by wiping parts of the decking with a cloth fairly easily. I think they should have used TWP-100 for the decking, but too late. The deck was previously stained with TWP-200 by same contractor a few years ago, but I don't remember having this same issue. What can we do to dry or wipe up the excess stain so we can walk on the decking without getting residue on our feet?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUse mineral spirits and rags. Saturate oily rags in water and lay flat outside to dry when done. It can take 1-2 weeks for the 200 series to fully cure.

We will reply to your comment shortlyBought a house with a 25 year old deck, pressure treated, that's pretty large. I stained it with a semi solid water based sealer last fall and it didn't hold up through winter. I just want to get a few years out of it before full replacement it went a few years without anything recently. Would the 200 be the best product for old wood, I live in a non voc state. I don't mind restaining every year or two just want the best protection for the wood
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyBest would be the TWP 1500. Before using any other brand of stain, you will need to fully remove the old coating first. This is your best option for that:

We will reply to your comment shortlyWe would like to use the TWP207 Butternut Brown on our timber frame patio extension. The wood is rough cut cypress. We really like the color of the butternut brown on the cypress wood. Would the TWP207, 200 series be sufficient in this application?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes it would.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have previously used the TWP 101 in cedartone natural on my new deck in Canada. Since the 200 series is now being sold in Canada I am wondering if the cedartone in TWP201is comparable in color or if you would recommend one of the other colors instead.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIt is the closest in color but not exact.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyreapplying TWP 201 to deck and treads after 1st application approx 2 yrs ago. I'm using the Gemini kit on smooth treated boards to prep. It's 400 sq ft; will it absorb less stain than 1st application? Wondering if I can cover it all with new 1 gallon and the 1/4 gallon left over.......
-
We will reply to your comment shortly1 Gallon will not cover 400 sq feet and the old stain has gone bad if opened and 2 years old. Coverage will be about the same as when you applied 2 years ago.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThanks; I’ll get 2
still not clear whether you recommend 4”brush or the 10” pad to apply……-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWe like the pads better.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlylooks like you only have 10" pads in stock, no 7"...... Do recommend 10" pads for deck and using 4" bush on treads? or do you think the 10" pad can be maneuvered easily on treads around pickets and vertical painted kickboards (white)? See pictures. Thank you!
-
We will reply to your comment shortly10" is what most use for all areas.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyHi,
I purchased Gemini, 10" pad and 2 gallons of 201 stain.
Based on reading in this forum, I need to wait 48hrs after Gemini process to stain. As far as staining, a couple of questions:
1) Front steps are over area that I want protected but I want to minimize drips even with drop cloth; should I use brush rather than pad to minimize dripping between planks?
2) should I tape all posts (white) to prevent staining or will the stain wipe dry should any stain touch white paint?
3) should I wipe each board with a rag after applying to have uniformity? should I wait a certain amount of time before wiping?
4) what is the dry time for the 201 before it can be walked on?
Thanks.-
We will reply to your comment shortly1. Will not matter.
2. Yes.
3. Proabbly not needed. Just do not over-apply.
4. 1-7 days to fully cured.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHad a house built with cedar wrapped posts, etc. they used twp1503. Currently looks good but I’d like to add a coat of sealer for extra protection. Would it help to put a coat of the clear twp200 or clear twp1500?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou cannot add a sealer over the TWP stains. Best to clean and apply the same color as last time.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyOk. Sounds like I just need to wait until the cedar needs restraining and re apply the twp1503. About how long will the initial stain last? I know it depends on a lot of factors.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIt varies but on vertical wood, every 3-7 years is normal.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWe have 18 year old log siding on a lake home in good shape. We are stripping the previous semi- transparent finish and want to switch to TWP. We want maximum mildew protection and want maximum time before we need to clean and recoat. Which would he better, TWP 200 or 1500 series? Any other suggestions as we make the switch?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyTWP 1500 Series.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWhat is the best stain product for rough cedar siding?
It was last stained 10 years ago.-

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have redwood planter boxes that were repurposed from deck wood. Would I use this to seal them before I attached to the window sills to preserve them?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNo, use the 1500 Series: https://www.twpstain.com/twp-1500-series

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a Douglas Fire covered patio ceiling that has grown dark in spots, possibly from mildew/mold. I will be having the wood media blasted to get all of the mold out. Would this be the right product to use for this?
TWP 100, 1500, 200?
Thank you.-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUse the 1500 Series.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWe live in Kansas City, MO. We stained our deck over the weekend using TWP 200 Cedartone. Our deck gets mostly sun. Unfortunately we were fighting the sunlight with our schedule. The lighter area pictured was stained in sunlight and the darker area in the evening in shade about 8 hours later. The stain was applied two days ago. We love how the darker side turned out, and obviously regret not waiting for the sun to pass. What can we do to the area that is lighter? Our deck in total is 850 sq ft. We do have 1 - 5 gallon container of stain left.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe darker area will dry and cure lighter to match the other area in a week or two. It is normal for the 200 series to take up to two weeks to even out in color.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI’m in Canada and somehow got a gallon of 1501 cedar tone from Amazon last year. Before I apply it to my Cedar deck (installed 10 months ago, cleaned and ready), I wonder if the 200 will be ok to go over the 1501 when touch ups are needed down the road? Should I just start with the 200 now? Cannot get any more 1501.
thanks!-

We will reply to your comment shortlyLooking to use the TWP 200 stain, probably cedar gold. Last stain was ready seal 2 years ago but worned off a lot.
from these pictures, do I need to sand my deck floor or simply use the stain stripper/brightner that you’re selling ?
thanks
yves.-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNo need to sand. Stripper and the Brightener.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyOk good. Thanks for the info.
my vertical boards on the deck still looks good (see attached pic). Used Ready Seal Pecan on these. Don’t plan on staining it again since they still look Ok.
which colour of the TWP 200 match most? -
We will reply to your comment shortlyOk good
thanks for the info.
my vertical wood boards are still looking good, so don’t plan on using a stain on them. Used Pecan from Ready Seal on these. Which colour on the TWP 200 will match most ?

We will reply to your comment shortlyStained my rough sawn cedar fence with twp 100 3 years ago. I liked the results. Ready to clean/ brighten / re-stain. Was thinking of switching to 200 series for the paraffin oil. Would the paraffin be more beneficial for this type of fence?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNo benefit. Stick with what you user prior.

We will reply to your comment shortlyTWP 200 on new deck pressure treated pine (1 year old)
How many coats would you recommend?
I know you mentioned it takes a whole week to cure. Should we wait a week to put the furniture or can we put it as soon as it feels dry (daily highs range 90-100, hot and humid in GA ?-
We will reply to your comment shortlyOne coat. As soon as it is dry to the touch you can put the furniture back.

We will reply to your comment shortly

We will reply to your comment shortlyIs wood conditioner and wood brightener recommended before applying this stain?

We will reply to your comment shortlyWe live in Canada and use 203 on our log cabin. Can we stain our deck at home with the same stain? I understand only the 200 series is available for Canadians.

-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThank you for the prompt reply.
I'm planning to stain about 500 s.f. of mainly cedar with some pressure treated wood. The boards are all well sanded and clean. Do I need two coats of TWP 200?
Also, when applying it, should I wipe the excess with a rag?
Your advice is appreciated.
Thanks,-
We will reply to your comment shortlyJust one coat since you sanded. Only back wipe if needed after 1-2 hours. Make sure to saturate any oily rags in water and lay flat to dry outside.
