We will reply to your comment shortlyWe have a cedar deck and arbor structure that was built 20 years ago. Last time it was stained was probably 15 years ago. I just replaced several floor boards (new wood) and sanded the entire deck and overhead structure up from 60 grit to 100 grit. How long after sanding should I wait before I apply TWP1500 (we live in California)? Should I follow the instructions at https://www.twpstainhelp.com/prepping-new-wood-for-twp-stains/?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes, follow those directions.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI live in CA. What does using 1500 vice 100 cost me in terms of performance and application?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThey last the same and apply the same.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWhy do you always recommend 100 vs 1500 to people in non-VOC states?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNo, not always. Mostly because it is less expensive but there are scenarios where the TWP 1500 would be preferred such as cedar siding.

We will reply to your comment shortlyFinally stained our deck and steps with TWP 1500 Dark Oak - Looks great and I will post a picture. What is a good complimentary TWP color for the posts and handrails?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyMaybe Pecan or Honeytone.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThis is a silly question because this is a TWP stain site, but is there a stain that comes close to TWP? Just curious. Thanks.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNope.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI live in Ontario, Canada. Looking to stain a 100' deck, railings etc. Which twp line is best. Full Sun, no moisture issues.

We will reply to your comment shortlyOnly the TWP 200 is allowed for Canada: https://www.twpstain.com/wood-and-deck-stains/twp-wood-stains/twp-200-series

We will reply to your comment shortlyHi,
I am ready to restain my deck. Previous owner applied cabot semi solid oil based stain. I want to keep the color same. Can you please suggest the color, twp100 or 1500 and any pre steps i need to follow.
Thankd,
Amol-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou cannot use the TWP over this. You would have to sand it all off first.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWhat about Cabot water based? Can TWP 100 be applied over that? (Deck is two months old and we are SO not happy with Cabot water-based)
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNo. You cannot apply TWP over a different brand of stain.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI used Redwood TWP 100 5 years ago to stain my new Log Home. I have had good performance and want to use the Redwood again but afraid it will be too dark. Any suggestions? TWP is a great stain. It's a good value!!!
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyJust prep with the Gemini Restore Kit and stain with the same color.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHi, I am in Oklahoma and we just installed rough cut cedar post. Can we stain immediately and does it need to be prepped? Also are there any place to buy in Oklahoma city?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWe sell online. You can stain it now.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have an 20+year old deck we have used Thompsons water sealer on in the past. Last year I stained it as will with their tinted water seal. I live in Central Oklahoma. One deck is full sun all day. The rest are covered. What do you recommend to clean and which series is best to protect?

We will reply to your comment shortlyPost a picture of current condition. Thanks

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a new red cedar deck and would like to keep the color or close to it. Will the Natural or Cedartone darken the wood? If so how much and are they both UV protection?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyHoneytone is the lightest tint. See pictures here: https://www.twpstain.com/twp-1500-series-stain-colors-and-photo-albums/

-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a fence that has been previously treated with Penofin (mistake I know). I think the 100 series would be better since my state allows it. What do you recommend? Do I need to do anything before adding the new stain?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyStrip and brighten for prep: https://www.twpstain.com/restore-a-deck-stripper-brightener-kit-detail
-
We will reply to your comment shortlySo, I have to strip (and brighten) before I can stain? Not just strip? ?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes, strip and brighten.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a three year old pressure treated deck and pergola with no stain currently. We live in Kansas, hot summers and cold winters. Do you recommend TWP100 or TWP 1500 series? Pros and cons of each?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyPrep with this and use the TWP 100 Series for KC: https://www.twpstain.com/gemini-s-restore-a-deck-cleaner-and-brightener-kit
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyOld deck but pretty good shape. I used defy deck stain 2 years ago for the second time. The color is quite worn now. Stains don’t last as promised, likely due to fcold winters in New York Adirondacks, frequent below zero temps in long winters.
What do I need to do to use the TWP? Will it last longer as it is an oil base?-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUse the RAD stripper and remove all the Defy. Brightener after. About every 2-3 years.

-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWhich series would you recommend for rainy Seattle weather for a cedar deck that was built in August 2019. How many gallons do I need for a 15'x19' deck? Additionally, do I need to use a deck brightener before staining (i will be using a deck cleaner). Thanks!
-
We will reply to your comment shortly100 Series. Clean and brighten for prep: https://www.twpstain.com/gemini-s-restore-a-deck-cleaner-and-brightener-kit
About 2-3 gallons.-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI only need one coat since it's a new deck, correct?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyExcellent. Should I add a second coat after the first year? If so, I think I will go with the 5 gallon kit. Thanks!
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyMy deck looked great right after cleaning and brightening when still wet. It is now the next day and I see a bunch of wood fuzzies on my deck. What should I do prior to applying the 100 series stain? Thanks!
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThat should go away when stained but if you want, you can lightly sand with 60-80 grit.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe wood is rough right now, will it get smoother after staining without sanding? If I go the sanding route, should I re-clean and re-brighten before staining?
Thanks!-
We will reply to your comment shortlyit is better to be slightly rough when stain as the TWP will soak in better. TWP is a penetrating stain. You really do not need to sand nor should wood be overly smooth.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThat's good to hear. To confirm, it will get smoother after I stain? It's pretty rough to walk on right now. Thanks for your help throughout this process!
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNo, it does not get smooth as TWP soaks in, not films on top. It does help to harden the wood though at the surface.
