TWP Stain Reviews Ratings Comparison | 100 Series | 200 Series | 1500 Series

Hey I have a new fence. It has been up approx. 8 to 9 months. I would like to stain with a light brown transparent stain. It will get full intense sun. We live in northwest corner of Alabama. Any suggestions on which of your products to use? The fence is a treated yellow wood product. Thanks.

PT deck and railings in Northeastern PA. Full afternoon sun, last stained about 4 years ago. What do you recommend?

2 month old PTP deck in Memphis TN. Gets full afternoon sun, hot humid summers. Hoping in a month to do a darker color, maybe black walnut or dark oak. Which is best for this climate, 100 or 1500 series?

Which should I use for:
-9 month old untreated cedar fence in western Washington state
-9 month old untreated cedar deck covered and uncovered areas
Which color is most neutral/uncolored?
Thank you

Once I put down the TWP 1500 on my log sided building do I need to apply a “sealer”? If I do what is your recommendations? Thank you, Catheirne

I live at 6,000 feet, the sun is brutal on paint and fades out wood dyes. How does TWP stand up to UV exposure at altitude? Thank you, Catherine

I have a 20 yr old ipe and cedar pergola and deck, that was just power washed a week ago - what do I need to do now? It cleaned up in most horizontal pieces well, but need to have if it finished asap. I'd like to restore the original color of the IPE that was gorgeous - what would you recommend? I'm in NE on the coast

Hi, It's time to stain the cedar shingles on our house. I live in CT. The last time the shingles were stained was between 10 and 19 years ago. One side, 10 years, the other three, 19 years. Shingles are 40 years old. They were last stained with transparent, non tinted, CWF (Flood). Our lot is heavily wooded, so shingles are still in pretty decent shape (except for woodpecker damage). Shingles will be professionally cleaned before staining. We'd like to add some color this time around. Which TWP stain would be the best choice; 100? If so, we were thinking about TWP 105. Since that is closer to a semi-solid than a semi-transparent, will we have to worry about peeling down the road? Thx. If not 100, would 200 or 1500 be better? Thx.

Recently purchased a new home North of Atlanta that has a large outside deck that gets full afternoon sun and a screened in porch that is covered. The deck has been up for about 4 months. What stain would you recommend and would you suggest light sanding prior to application?

I have an older shake roof ~40 years old. The shakes are in good condition, I am considering treating them with the 200 series. Is that a good idea? Will that improve the life of the shakes? They appear to be un-treated. I live in Montana. The 200 series appears to have a much higher solids content. Does that mean it is more opaque than the 100 series? Is it also thicker?

So we older railing and steps that has suffered some mold, lichen issues. I have used bleach/water solution, a scrapper and a scrub brush to get off the old moss and lichens and then hosed it down. I don't know what was put on it before. Do I need a brightener or have I done enough? I can use the 100 series in my state. Would that be appropriate to use?

I have a Dock that is about 6' wide by 120 feet long. It is 2 years old and has not been coated. It seems that a semi transparent stain would be best. We live in Coastal NC and get lots of sun and some warm weather. What is the best product to use, and should I use wet on wet application. Finally what is the best surface prep - I have an attachment for my 1900 psi pressure washer that allows good cleaning without destroying the wood. Thanks! I should have stated that the wood is PT Pine.

Cedar Deck, Lots of direct sun, Already sanded, Using Cedar tone, Which should I use 100 series or 1500 series

I have a new PT deck that was put down 2-3 months ago in north GA. A dealer told my husband that the 200 series was the best so he purchased it. This is not the information I am seeing on your sight and it is causing some contention between us. Is there any worries that I should be aware of since this is the stain we are using? Also he didn't want to wait the year you recommend so it is going on now.

I have a 14 year old pressure treated deck that was last stained with TWP about 10 years ago. What series would you recommend? I live in Atlanta, Georgia. Thanks....(see photos)

Hello! I have a pressure treated pine deck that is about 14 years old. It was just sanded and stripped of all previous stain and sealer. We live in Maryland and get a lot of snow in the winter (18 to 20 feet a year). Deck gets full Sun in the summer for about 6 hours a day. Looking for a series recommendation. Also, thinking of the pecan color, but not sure how it will wear with the snow. Thanks!

For my 9 year old PT deck, which is better, TWP 100 or TWP 200 (both Cedartone)?

After applying Twp cedertone can you apply a clear coat sealer and waterproofer

We are staining a pressure treated deck and screened in porch for the first time. The deck has lots of total sun and the screened in porch gets less sun, which stain should we choose? 100 or 1500? They were installed just about 1 year ago and we live in NY. Thanks!
