    I have a new playhouse in my backyard with new redwood shingles. I do not want to color the shingles, just preserve them as much as possible. What product would you recommend?

    The TWP 1500 Series.

    What is the biggest difference in 100 and 1500 series? Local stores only carry 100, so I ordered samples of that. I have 13 year old wrap around porch only stained once

    Biggest difference is VOC compliancy for certain states.

    I live in Louisiana. I was wanting to stain my deck that is 8-9 months old with the 100 series. My wife is currently pregnant and i'm a little concerned about the VOC rating.

    Once dry and cured after 12-24 hours there is no VOC to be concerned about.

    My ski cabin has for siding both cedar shingles and horizontal cedar planks..about 50% each. Prior coating has been Preserva Wood-Penetrating Oil Stain and Sealer. Between 1500 and 200, which will give me a like result as with the Preserva Wood product. I ask because my painter recommends TWP. Roof not in question as it is metal.

    Use the TWP 1500 Series. Make sure to prep well beofre applying.

    Pat Serio:
    I'm in Knoxville TN. My very large deck hasn't been cleaned/sealed in 8-10 years. I've a company that will pressure clean. One short board is sagging. I want to use the 1500 in Cedar, and use it on both the old & new wood. Is that OK? Is this a wet- on-wet application? If so, how many hours between applications? I can do most of the sealing but will need the contractor's help with anything requiring bending over. I will use a paint brush. Thanks.

    If only one new board is being replaced, then go ahead and apply the TWP after the prep. Old wood will get two coats applied wet on wet. Only one coat on the new board. The new board will need another coat next year. Apply the second coat within 20-60 minutes of the first coat.

    My deck is older but doesn't need to be replaced yet. The previous owner put a solid (latex I think) stain on the deck. I've tried everything to strip it and though it is thin and worn in areas, especially on the floor, steps and top of railing and flaking in places I CAN NOT get the old stain/paint off. Can I put your product over the existing solid stain? Which products do I need?

    TWP stains are semi-transparent. They cannot be applied over a solid stain.

    Mark 7777:
    I replaced western red cedar boat dock panels (4' x 4') this past spring. They are in Minnesota, full sun, and get wet some times from waves. The last set lasted only 8 years before the ends started to rot/deteriorate.

    I would prefer that they age to a gray color over time am not concerned about maintaining a color (would prefer to use natural/clear) and would plan to just treat them one time in an effort to gain 5yrs+- of life.

    I was planning to buy 100 Series in Natural but thought I would ask your advice first.

    You would want the TWP 100 in clear. Protects but grays naturally.

    Hi , I have 250 feet x 6 feet of new kd cedar fence I am looking to preserve with your product. I live in western WA where it rains a lot and part of my fence gets a lot of sun in summer and part of it gets little to none. My questions are :
    1) If voc is not a concern should I use the 100 series or 1500?
    2) I orig. wanted to do a clear is the natural a clear or does have some stain , color in it ?
    3)would the cedar tone give me better protection then the natural ?
    4) How many gallons will I need ?
    5) Is there a distributor in the Seattle , WA area where I can purchase .

    Thank You,
    Jeff

    1. Use the 100
    2. No color in the clear. No UV protection.
    3. Yes, lighter colors will always fade faster.
    4. 30 Gallons for tow coats and both sides
    5. We sell online.
