TWP Deck Stain CanadaNot all wood stains and sealers, especially oil based formulas, are compliant in Canada. Canada has Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) concentration limits in place to protect the environment and the health of Canadians. However, there are some quality oil based wood stains that are compliant with these strict laws. One such product is TWP 200 Series.

Total Wood Preservative (TWP) 200 is an oil based stain that protects against structural damage and wood rot for above ground exterior wood surfaces. The great news about TWP now being sold into Canada is that it is a low VOC preservative with unique UV shielding pigments that reduces wood fading, discoloring and graying. TWP uses select mildewcides that naturally inhibit the growth of fungal molds and mildews.

 

TWP also resists water and moisture absorption that can lead to freeze damage in colder climates like Canada. Freeze damage is responsible for board warping, splitting, cracking and structural harm. TWP 200 is user-friendly and easy to apply and maintain down the road. It will not chip, flake or peel like film forming types of wood stains. It dives deep into the wood pores to resist water and reflect harmful UV rays. This semi-transparent wood stain formula preserves wood and enhances the wood grain’s natural beauty.

Canadians can buy TWP 200 Series 5 Gallon Pails with confidence knowing that this low 250 VOC formula will enhance and protect wood surfaces in harsh weather. This is a great way to protect your investment as opposed to using a lesser quality or non-compliant stain. TWP is the professional’s choice for all exterior wood surfaces such as fencing, wood siding, decking, roofing and log homes. TWP 200 is now being sold into Canada and will standup to hard winters, foot traffic and summer heat like no other VOC compliant oil based stain on the market.

    I applied Cabot semi transparent cedar tone stain to my newly constructed cedar sided cottage two years ago and it’s already fading (no peeling or blistering) can I just apply the twp200 right over top?

    We have used Armstrong Clark semi transparent twice. Can we now use TWP 200 series without a lot of prep work? We are in central Ontario, Canada

    What is the shelf life of TWP-200? I have an unopened 5 gallon pale and half of another, if stored properly and indoors, can I use it when the deck needs a new application? What is proper storage? Should the pale be shaken every so often? etc. thanks.

    I have some freshly planed 2 x 6 WRWC the wood has been drying in rough cut state for 7+ years and I am now ready to use it, I am going to use TWP 100 cedar tone and was wondering if I should use a conditioner before the TWP application. I have tried Old Masters Wood Conditioner that is the only oil base I can buy in Canada. will this combination work or is using a Conditioner or primer a waste of time and money if I am using the TWP 100 Thanks

    I’m going to cry - we used the stripper, sanded the deck, brightened, waited 48 hrs & now we r ready to stain this morning & there are now big black patches that have developed around nail holes, where the boards join, and large random spots that were not there under the stain or after sanding/brightening. It was perfect warm even temps - what do I do??

        All your screws are rusting. You will need to replace them and then if you redo the brightener it will help to remove the black rust. The sanding probably removed the protective coating from the nail heads and that is why it happened.

      Sounds like your nails or screws are rusting. Do you have a picture?

        Thank you so much super appreciate the prompt reply - pics just sent— it’s all through the wood - not just on nail areas. The wood was beautiful even pristine white when we left it...

          It is because your sanding carried the metal from the nail heads to the rest of the wood. It is rust.

    So are you looking to find a dealer in Canada for your product? Would like to hear if anyone in Canada has used your product and has lasted without peeling or fading after 1 year which seems to be the issue here and I have experienced. We have a VERY large deck which has never had anything on it and is getting the old grey look and starting to drying out. We have approx. 1200 sq. ft. of decking and do not want to add stain that just won't stand up to our weather here in Manitoba Canada.

      We used the restore a deck kit on 1 year old untreated cedar, followed by TWP 200 series. It is beautiful and weathered the winter superbly. We are now preparing to clean and put on the second coat. You won’t be disappointed if you follow the directions.

    Our spruce pressure treated (green) fence was never stained/protected and it has been up for approx. 12 or so years. It has natural staining with grey and black. Will application of cleaner and brightener plus a stain bring back to life?

    I have a western red cedar deck, never finished, that will be weathered 20 months by the time I get it stained. I'm planning on using TWP 200 - I live in Canada, so that's my only TWP choice. How should I prep this deck?

    Can I use TWP 200 over TWP 100 application, and what is your opinion about using a OB wood conditioner prior to applying the TWP stains?

    PS I applied one coat to my new redwood cedar log cabin 5 years ago and I can go until next year before redoing the stain. great product highly recommend the TWP 100

    I have docks and decks at the lake with 15-year-old PT green docks, a 2-year old "Barefoot" brand pt deck, and a new "Sienna" brand staircase. I'd like to treat with clear TWP. In Canada only TWP200, but if I buy in US and I can bring back TWP100 or TWP1500, which seems to be recommended more. What is the difference in the 3 products and which is best for long lasting (don't want to do every 1-2 years) protection? After a certain number of years can I just reapply without having to strip etc?
    Thanks for your help and advice

      They will all last about the same. Not one will last longer than the other. It is illegal for you to use the 100 or 1500 in Canada so we cannot suggest either, only the 200 Series. Clean and recoat every 2-3 years with the TWP stains.

        OK. TWP100 it is. Is there shipping costs or duty to ship to Wpg, Canada?

        ALSO, my daughter has a green PT lumber deck at her home in Minneapolis. Should I also get the TWP200 Clear for her or would the TWP 100 or 1500 be better for her deck?

          Oops ...I meant TWP 200 for Canada.
          What is best for the Minneapolis deck (clear) 100, 200 or 1500 ? ....and why?

          TWP Stains · 06/23/2019
          TWP 200 Series. Yes, you have to pay shipping and taxes. No duty. You can save on shipping if you have a US address to ship to and bring back. Most would use the TWP 100 Series in MN. Get a tinted color for UV protection from graying.

            I don't mind the fading, and am worried that a tint makes it a lot more difficult to apply (re overlapping with roller or spraying) vs Clear, plus does a tint eventually show traffic?

            Also, what is the difference between 100 and 200 and 1500?
            • We will reply to your comment shortly
              TWP Stains · 06/23/2019
              The difference is mainly VOC compliance. Tints fade evenly as the TWP is a penetrating stain so it does not wear.
