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

Can I use TWP Semi-Solid Pro Series on early (2004) Trex composite?  If not, what do you recommend?  Existing deck is a light butterscotchy color, want to use one of your lighter cedar colors.  Also, if yes - 1 coat or 2 on composites?

If I’m staining a new pressure treated deck with a line tongue and grove ceiling do I have to use the stripper and brighter?  Also which product so you recommend since this is the first staining?  I’m in Tennessee 

New northern white pine siding kiln dried. Faces East. Which product do you recommend?

I have a new treated pine fence. How long do you recommend drying before applying? Also, are there any other preparations that need to be done before applying? I assume that the 1500 is the best?

I have a 25 year old deck it is in good shape. I have always stand it with Wolman’s oil based. It turned super dark on me the last time that I did it.  I Stripped it with restore a deck, use their cleaner as well as their Brightner. The deck gets evening sun.  I live in West Virginia.  Am I good to go switching brands and which series do you recommend?

Looking to buy stain for our fence in the  pasture. Does cedar tone have a lot of red ? Really just wanted  clear, but not many reviews??

do i have to us a brightener after sanding.

As best I can tell, Cedartone 201 seems to be a primarily brown shade that falls in between Cedar Gold and California Cedar.  Is that right?  Do you have a link where the 200 series colors are "explained" or described? (like this one for 1500 series:  https://twpstainhelp.com/twp-1500-colors-explained/) Also, I cannot seem to find any photos of TWP 200 applied to old, properly prepped cedar shingles. Please let me know if you have a link or any examples.  I am leaning toward 201 Cedartone on old, washed and prepped cedar shingles, but my test area is looking a lot more reddish than I expected. Will that red recede a bit as the stain cures?

I have an old deck on a house that I purchased in Wisconsin and I do not know if the wood is cedar or fur or pressure treated. It's mostly shaded with some moss issues. What product would you recommend

I am having a brand new redwood privacy fence install as well as redwood hog wire fence. I would like to use 1500 California redwood stain.
1. Can I apply this right after the fence is built or do I need to wait for wood to cure? 
2. my California location has summer high heat, 11 in. annual rain average, how often should I be prepared to reapply?
3. Will the CA redwood stain make redwood even more red/orange? Or will it match the redwood?

New white pine siding, kiln dried but never stained or treated. Which product will hold up best.

Reading up on this page, looks like my 3-yr old never stained pressure treated deck is best to use the 100-series (after I clean and prep). Would this be true for southern New Hampshire?

Just finished doing one pass of deck stripper and brightener on cedar deck. I see there are some small spots that I need to tackle but, overall, does it seem ready for stain or should I do another pass on the whole deck?
Is sanding recommended?

We just installed a new deck, I know we need to wait to stain and it will be a spring project. I am in MI, the deck faces east and is in direct sun for half the day. Should I use the 100 or the 1500 for this? It is pressure treated pine. 

I am doing pine board and batten on my house. I am going to use the shou sugi ban technique and I am looking for a clear coat to apply for added protection. Which product would be best? I live in Ontario and therefore have temperature swings in summer and winter. 

A 3rd party site recommends your Semi-Solid Pro Series for a composite (early Trex) full-sun deck, but I do not see any such notation on YOUR site.  Do you agree that TWP Semi-Solid Pro Series is recommended?  If not, do you have an alternative?  Thank you!

1) For sanding a cedar deck, what grit sizes do you recommend to start with and end with?
2) Is 1500 series better than 100 series? I am not in a low-VOC and can use either option. 
3) How many coats do you recommend?

Located in middle Tennessee. I have a brand new deck connected to a 5 year old deck (different height, connected by stairs). The existing deck has been stained with FLOOD brand oil-based semi-transparent stain 4 years ago and again 2 years ago. I plan to use Restore-A-Deck to strip, then apply TWP to both decks. Which TWP do you recommend for my project, and WHY? (100, 1500, semi-solid, other?)

I think I used 101 on my deck a few years ago. What is the best series to use on a deck that I have stained several times

We live in MO and need to stain our deck. This is what was previously used and here is a picture of our deck now. We plan to use Restore a Deck and also want to stain it with a darker color like Cedartone.
1)Do you recommend 200 or 1500? Friends used 200 and love it, water really beads on it
2)do we have to remove all old stain completely?
