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

We installed a pressure treated deck in upstate NY last fall. We will be ready to stain the deck in 1-2 months after we clean and allow dry time. We don’t like red or orangy stain colors. If we like the early american and special walnut colors from minwax - what stain color do you recommend and do you have any pointers.

Thanks!

We purchased a home that used TWP 205 on the deck and pergola. Should we stay with the 200 series or use the 1500 series? We are located in Atlanta Georgia.

Last year I applied an application of Defy Extreme it didn’t cover well. I going to switch to TWP product. What do I need to do? What do I need to do first? Jim

Stripping a 20yr old Pressure treated Pine deck and Cedar picket fence(I think). Will be using your RAD stripper / brightener. This is in Missouri I am thinking I should use 1500 since it has a higher solids. Am I thinking correctly? Considering Pecan tint.

2 YEARS AGO I APPLIED A SEALER/ CEDAR STAIN (ADM 2003) AN OIL BASED PRODUCT, THERE IS NO CRACKING OR PEELING ON SURFACE OF DECK. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO BEFORE USING TWP 1500?

I stained my deck last summer with Defy Extreme Clear. Some areas didn’t get covered real well. Can I reapply another application of clear right away?

I just stain my deck last year with Defy Extreme. It doesn’t look like it covered very well. I would like to try the TWP stain. Is it too early to stain TWP or should I wait a period of time. Jim

60' x 8' wraparound covered cedar deck. Three years ago contractor put 2 coats of a product only designed to be one coat. He ended up stripping and sanding the whole deck to remove the "stickY" result of his mistake. We then put water based and expensive clear coat. It has not protected wood and I ended 6 hours of pressure washing the deck which looks very good now.

Can I put your product on that surface as it is now? We are in state of Washington. Thanks

2 years ago i stain a new deck with Australian timber oil using the 19400 series which goes on as latex and dries as a oil finish and has not held up well. I would like to re-do with TWP 100 series. if the deck is cleaned with restore a deck will i be able to put the TWP 100 on?
Thanks,
Bill

For a new weathered redwood deck, is 1500 recommended or would you recommend TWP100 if my state allows it and would you recommend RAD or Gemini to clean and brighten? Is the redwood tint very subtle as I want to just highlight the natural wood coloring.

How many coats on a criss Cross Wood Cattle Fencing that is a year old and never been stained or sealed? (if we use TWP 1500) This wood fencing is out in fields. I assume this serves as a sealer and stain and no need for any other under coat?

I read through some posts. Looks like you recommend the 100 series for the first time, after the weathering period? Would you recommend continued use of the 100 series or switching to the 1500 series for continued maintenance?
Thanks.

I'm a little confused about the difference between the 100 and 1500 series stain. I'm in Corpus Christi, Texas and want to use the longest lasting product for a new cedar fence. I thought that the 100 series was better, because in the description it says that it "sheds water" and the 1500 says that it's "water resistant". But I see that the 1500 series has a higher solids content and takes longer to dry.

Which on will last longer and repel water better?


Thanks

New siding inside a barn, I want something to protect the wood from water stains and as long lasting as possible

I have a 6 month old cedar fence that was never treated. It is starting to look grey in color. Which stain would be best and how long will I need to repeat the staining process?

Should I use 100 or 1500 for a redwood deck in northern CO? Our wood is new but has been aged ~6 months.

What series stain should I use for a 4 month old treated yellow pine deck in Texas?

100 or 1500 series for Cedar Picket Fence in Central Texas. Fence is 1yr old and never stained. Any prep needed on the Cedar pickets?

I had a pressure treated pine wood deck installed about 3 years ago by previous homeowner. It was never stained nor treated in any way. Just wood straight from Home Depot. What should I use? (Location: South Louisiana)

3 year old pressure treated pine deck near Atlanta, GA. Recently stained using Cabot stain. Apparently deck was not prepped properly. Signs of mold under two coats of stain.

I plan to strip and brighten the deck. What product do you recommend I use to stain? And best application method?

I have been using Cabot in natural tone. Is there a similar RAD or TWP color?

Thanks for your help.
