We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a treated lumber deck that was built July 2022. I am ready to clean and stain it as I assume it has "cured" long enough. Please advise the best way to prep and which series of stain to use. We want a lighter tint that allows the natural wood grain to show through. Thank you in advance for your help.

Use the TWP 1500 Series in the Homeytone for the lightest tinted color.

-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWhat is the recommended outside temp. for painting. The deck is in full sun, South exposure.
-
We will reply to your comment shortly50-90 f.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have been using your TWP 100 series (Honeytone) on my redwood deck each or every other year. Will the new 200 series last longer. I live in Western Wyoming where we have the decks covered with snow for several months.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNo, they last the same.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIf using the 100 or 1500, what can I expect in a year? Will it chip or peel or should I be able to just apply a fresh coat over it? We live in Washington state so lot’s of rain here.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyTWP are penetrating stains. They do not chip or peel. Clean and reapply as needed.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a deck with 100 series stain on it, but now I can’t ship that stain to my state (CO). Will the 1500 series “stick” over the 100 series?

We will reply to your comment shortlyPrep first with this kit while pressure washing and it will turn out great:

We will reply to your comment shortlyI am building an open beam porch using 8x12” rough cut cypress beams. I just received the beams from the saw mill. I live in western Kansas with low rainfall, low humidity, high wind and hot summer temps. I like the dark oak stain and am wondering about your advice on which TWP product and application.
Thanks for your help.-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUse the TWP 100 Series for this.

We will reply to your comment shortlyOur deck was stained with Penofin. It does not last more than 8 months. How should we prep it and would TWP 100 be the best to use? The Penofin color was Rainer Golden Brown. The color was great while it lasted. Is there a TWP color close to it? In Iowa with a wide range of weather. The deck is east facing. thank you

We will reply to your comment shortlyUse this for prep: https://www.twpstain.com/restore-a-deck-stripper-brightener-kit-detail

We will reply to your comment shortlyLast year I followed your instructions using your Restore-A-Deck to stain my 5 year old Cedar deck that had been stained with other products yearly. I used Pro-Series TWP 99 Tint Base Semi Solid thinking I could get 2-3 years before having to re-do. After going through the Iowa winter my deck is peeling again so I am discouraged and wondering what to do now. Please advise.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyDid you remove all your previous stain coatings before applying the TWP? It does not peel if you do this and you do not over-apply the TWP.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes and I applied the second coat as per instructions. I also sanded all the boards before application. Your recommendation now?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlySanding is not the correct way to prep as it closes the pores and reduces Stain penetration. If you do sand, never use finer than 60-80 grit and only apply one coat due to lack of absorption. At this point, strip and brighten for prep using the Restore A Deck Stripper Kit.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyA little confused about sanding.. this is the first time I’ve seen a recommendation to NOT sand. My deck had some old peeling paint that I stripped off and in the process left swirl marks in a few places. For the best protection of the wood am I better off just living with the swirl marks and not sanding everything?
Thanks for your help!-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIf you sand to remove the swirl marks, use 60-80 grit and then clean and brighen after.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyOK Thanks. I think i might have gotten a bit of overspray on glass from the Restore-A-Deck because of some wind. Is there a solvent that will remove it?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyTry a graffiti remover cleaner from the paint aisle.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI am re-staining a cedar deck around our pool. What is best for around the pool that will hold up with the chlorine and all the water ?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNo deck stain is immune to chlorine (bleach). Eventually, it will damage the stain. Look at the TWP 1500 Series.

We will reply to your comment shortlyCentral NC. 4 month old PT pine fence. Full to almost full sun. 100, 200, or 1500? Thanks
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWe would suggest the TWP Semi-Solid Colors or the TWP 1500 Series. Make sure to prep correctly first.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHi, What product do you recommend for an outdoor picnic table sitting in full blazing Texas sun? TWP 1500 Series sounds great but wanted to make sure it's suitable for picnic tables.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUse the TWP 100, 1500, or Semi-solid colors. Make sure to prep correctly first.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI was cleaning my deck with your Restore-A-Deck system, and I ran out of "brightner" in Step 2 with about 60 square feet to go. Is there an adequate substitute that I can use to complete this preparation step? Making baking soda or hydrogen peroxide? Something else? I was planning to apply the semi-transparent stain tomorrow so I am hoping you can suggest a quick-fix alternative. Thank you!
-
We will reply to your comment shortlySorry but no, there is not a quick fix.

We will reply to your comment shortlyIt is already stained and has some kind of coating. No exterior stain will work over what is already on there.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWe have inherited a large wooden sculpture which has been treated, but it has always been indoors, for more than 20 years. Not exactly sure what kind of wood, but presumably cedar, as we live in the Pacific Northwest. We want to move the sculpture outside and would like to know how to best treat it further so it will weather our WET winters. Do you have a product you would recommend? If so, what should we do to prep the sculpture prior to treatment, and how much product do we need? The sculpture is of a life-size bald eagle catching fish in its talons. It is approximately seven feet tall, three feet wide at the top of its wings, which are drawn up toward each other and approximately 18" at the bottom. Very hard to tell how much coverage we need because of all the detailed nooks and crannies in the wings and body. Please provide any input you are able to based on this information. Thank you, Sondra

We will reply to your comment shortlyCan 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?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyOnly older, porous Trex, you can. One coat.

We will reply to your comment shortlyIf 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

We will reply to your comment shortlySee this for new wood tips: https://www.twpstainhelp.com/prepping-new-wood-for-twp-stains/
Use the TWP 100 Series.

We will reply to your comment shortlyNew northern white pine siding kiln dried. Faces East. Which product do you recommend?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyTWP 100 Series. See here first: https://twpstainhelp.com/kdat-and-twp-wait-period-for-new-wood/
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI 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?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlySee this for tips: https://www.twpstainhelp.com/prepping-new-wood-for-twp-stains/
The 1500 Series would work very well.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI 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?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes, you can stain it now. Use the TWP 100 Series.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThank you! Am I good to go applying this in the cooler weather? Also can you advise me on shipping? If I ordered it today when can I expect it?
