We will reply to your comment shortly· 05/25/2023I stained my deck yesterday, God was good & the weather was perfect! I used the semi solid “driftwood” and I absolutely love the color, even though it looks nothing like the chart but I did order a sample so I knew what I was getting! The chart makes it look like a tan, but this bad boy is gray with a hint of brown and I love it. I was needing a color to match my dirt when dry because I have a dog, that is on this deck more than I am, and she can be a muddy mess, the mud is still there but you just can’t see it with this color which brings me to my question. How long should I keep the muddy dog off the deck?

We will reply to your comment shortlyJust finished re-staining after 5 years or so with 100 series Cedartone. Absolutely stunning just as it was the first time I used it. (Also used the Gemini cleaning brightening kit). Check out the finished product!
I live in Missouri around St Louis where the summers get muggy. Mildew is unavoidable on decks around here. It just happens after a couple years.
How can I routinely clean mildew without damaging the finish? Not sure if there's a product or some methodology that you can share that would make this efficient and safe to the stain.
Thanks!-

We will reply to your comment shortlyHello, I have been using TWP 100 on our deck for 11 years. The color is Rustic 116. I would like to use either the 1500 or semi solid (this is preferred) for better protection. Do either of these products have the same or similar color? Thank you
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThre is not a same color in the semi-solid. There would be no advantage to switching to the 1500 Series over the 100 Series.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHello, we purchased a log home that hasn't been cared for and at some point was painted green. Our current plan is to walnut blast and stain. The company doing the blasting recommend Messmers, I had been thinking Lovitts, and then someone recommended you. Which of your products would you recommend for this? Also, should we wait a certain amount of time after the blasting before staining? It is in central Wyoming. Thank you
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUse the TWP 1500 Series or the Semi-solid colors. You can stain right after the prep.

We will reply to your comment shortlyPro series is not yet on the comparison page (https://www.twpstain.com/twp-stain-comparison-reviews-ratings). As both have solids that protect against UV, what are the Biggest differences between the 100 and pro series?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThey are both Pro Series. The TWP 100 Pro Series are semi-transparent colors. The TWP Semi-Solid Pro Series are semi-solids.
Semi-solids colors will give better UV resistance.

We will reply to your comment shortlyo I have 2,400± sq ft of pressure treated deck + wall/fence/uprights.
o It is 2 yrs. aged with no product applied.
o I will prep as you advise prior to application.
o I am going to use TWP Semi-Solid Pro-Series (Charcoal).
2 Questions:
(1) 1 coat or 2 coats?
(2) Gallons req'd / recommended?
Many thanks.
--> david.-
We will reply to your comment shortly2 light coats. About 20 gallons.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyHow can 2 coats be applied? I thought 1 coat prevents any spot fix/2nd coats from being absorbed and will result in a failed application. I assume this applies to 100 and pro series?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIt is 1-2 coats for the semi-solid colors depending on how absorbent the wood is. If the wood is new then 1 coat should be sufficient

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have an almost year old new build deck that is covered. I’m curious which stain is going to last the longest in that situation…the 100 or semi solid?
also, if my deck wood is relatively clean. It doesn’t have the worn weathered look yet…could I get by without the cleaner brightener kit or should I still go ahead and use that?
thank you!-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe semi-solid colors will give the longest UV protection. It has to be prepped, you cannot skip this step.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a older Trex deck built in 2004. Every year I lightly power wash it and apply a deck and mildew cleaner to remove stains and mildew. It looks ok when done but it barely last the entire year. I would like to do a good deck cleaning to remove the dirt and stains this spring then apply a good stain. Thinking I will need 5 gallons to apply one coat? Would it be ok to apply with a sprayer or would you recommend brushing or rolling? I will send you a couple of pictures the aprox. sq. footage is 560 sq feet or 37 feet by 15 feet.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou will need stain pads or brushes. Do not roll. One coat is okay. About 3 Gallons.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHi, Our contractor applied (brushed) 1501 per the wet-on-wet instructions. We have channel cedar siding. It is taking a very long time to dry. There is some excess on the channel ledges too. How long will it take for this to dry? I have already gotten it on a pair of pants while reinstalling an exterior light. Thanks.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThey most likely over-applied. Back wipe off excess stain if it does not fully cure within a week. See this for tips: https://twpstainhelp.com/twp-stain-is-spotty-or-shiny/

We will reply to your comment shortlyWe used Dark Oak previously, do you have that color in this Pro series?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNo, not in the semi-solids. Cabin Fever or Charcoal is closest.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI used your product about 15 years ago on my log cabin home, it held up incredibly well. I'm looking at using TWP Semi-Solid Stain for my re-covering this year. Is it still sprayable by an airless sprayer?

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have new pine wood fencing (4-rail) about 300 ft long. It’s been 5 months now. Do I need any prep before I apply semi-solid? How many coats and gallons I will need? What is typical life of this pro series on fence in full sun (TN state)?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlySee here for new wood tips: https://www.twpstainhelp.com/prepping-new-wood-for-twp-stains/
We need a total sq footage for both sides to help with the amount needed. About 4-7 years for a fence.-
We will reply to your comment shortlyTotal surface will be about 1400 SQFT approx. How many coats and gallons will I need approx. if spray painting? Thanks
-
We will reply to your comment shortly10-15 gallons for two coats applied wet on wet.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHello, we started staining our deck with the semi-solid in Mount Rushmore on 7/16, however did not have quite enough stain to finish one full coat. Went to purchase more and it has been out of stock. Wondering how we proceed when it is available again? Will we need to strip and start over or can we complete the small remaining part and give it a 2nd coat after?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyProbably the latter but you may only need one coat. Send some pics.
-
We will reply to your comment shortly
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWe would suggest finishing with one coat where needed. If needed, next year lightly wash and apply another coat to all floors. Railings will be okay.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyHi...I was wondering if the Mount Rushmore is more brown than gray? I ordered a sample of Driftwood that the chart shows to be a tan/brown but it is GRAY! lol. I like it but wondered if the Mount rushmore may be more tan/brown than the driftwood is. Thanks.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyColor varies based on wood type and age so it is nearly impossible to say exactly how it will look on your wood until you test a sample. Mtn Rushmore leans to gray.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI would say on new soft pine deck boards where driftwood looks gray, but in the bottle looks brown, it would be the more brown of the two? Does the sample bottle of Mt Rushmore look more gray? Thanks
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyMore gray.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI am preparing to stain approx. 800sq ft of decking (almost 1200 when including railing and structural members). I plan to use the Semi-Solid Pro series. I have one deck that is in fairly poor condition (lots of sun exposure) and another that is in standard condition. Should I use 2 coats for the entire project or would the deck that is in better condition require only one coat of Pro Series? I purchased the home last year so I am not 100% certain when it was last stained. I do know that there was oil based on the deck previously. I believe it is standard decking, but there is a possibility that some of the deck is cedar.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyAll of the old stain needs to be removed first. After apply two coats wet on wet.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHello,
Im trying to decide on what size of the semi-solid to purchase, once it is back in stock. I have multiple projects plan where I would like to use this as an outdoor sealer (benches, siding, etc) however they are all not ready as of yet. What is the shelf life of this product? If I bought the 5 gallon size to use for future applications, will I have any trouble with this degrading after opening? Thank you!-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe shelf life of a 5-gallon pail after being opened is about 12 months.
