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

What type stain should I use for a deck in North Carolina. It will get quite a bit of sun. Thanks

We have a new 10 month old deck on a new build in the Panhandle of Florida. Would we want to use the TWP 100 or the 1500?

I have a new deck skirt. I live in rainy Seattle but my deck faces the scorching west sun. Should I use 100 or 1500 series? What color is most like natural cedar, the cedartone or honey tone? Can I paint right away or do I need to let it age first?

I like what has been written about your product, but am not crazy about your stain colors. Can you do custom tinting?

how do i purchase sample sizes

Thank you for your reply to my earlier question. The structure to be stained is new (five months exposure and dry) rough hewn cedar. How different (colorwise) will the 1515 stain be from the clear? We want the color of the natural wood to show through but also want the UV and related protections. I have used your products extensively, primarily 1530.

what is difference between 1500 (clear) and 1515

We live on the lake so our deck gets a lot of moisture but it also gets full sun. I prefer it to look more stained than paint. I’ve been told the solid is the most Protection. Advise? Also how much would I need to cover 1200 sq.ft.

what wood filler or what do you recommend to repair. Thank you.

Had my pergola painted and they used a sprayer for the top part and the overspray got on my brand new patio made of cement pavers. There was an area not covered with plastic and the painters didn’t realize it. What would be the best way to tackle trying to remove it ??

Hello, I am in the process of building a house. I have 10 8x8 fresh cut cypress columns. I have reads a lot of conflicting information on what to with my cypress columns. I don't like the gray look cypress gets as time passes. I like the look of TWP rustic or dark oak stain. I need some expert opinion on what I need to do with my cypress columns.
Thank you!!

I have a 3-year old cedar deck that has never been stained. What do you recommend doing prior to staining? Also, it’s a heavy traffic area (main entry for humans and dogs), would you lean towards a lighter or darker color to withstand the traffic best?

How do you make sure a 5 gal container is thoroughly mixed after it has sat awhile and solids have settled?

What is the color tone difference between the 200 series Cedar Gold and California Cedar? Which is the closest to the clear?

Have been replacing all the boards on an old deck for the last few months. Started in June, and added more recently, which are still lighter in color than the ones weathering since June. I’m thinking about replacing a couple more new boards with newer, less knotty wood, now that I’m able to get my hands on it in the store. If I do this now, will all the wood be weathered enough in late winter/early Spring (Feb/March) to look enough alike and be ready to prep and stain? Worried about the newer boards being too light and not matching the rest.

I’m in GA and looking for as natural wood a color as possible, nothing yellow or orange. Cedartone 101?

Thank you.

We live in North Georgia. Our cedar pergola was originally stained with TWP California Cedar. It is time to stain again since the sun has done some damage. Which product of yours do you recommend?
