We will reply to your comment shortlyLooking 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??
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyClear has no UV protection. Best to test samples on your wood: https://www.restore-a-deck.com/Deck-Cleaning-Reviews-and-Tips/how-to-restore-a-deck-stain-to-damp-wood.html

We will reply to your comment shortlydo i have to us a brightener after sanding.

We will reply to your comment shortlyClean and brighten would be best. Do not sand finer than 60-80 grit.

We will reply to your comment shortlyAs 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?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyColor varies widely based on wood type, age, etc. best to test with some samples. https://www.twpstain.com/woodsamples-detail
there is not a way to say for certain how it would look on your wood without testing.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI 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

We will reply to your comment shortlyI 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?-
We will reply to your comment shortly1. See here: https://www.twpstainhelp.com/prepping-new-wood-for-twp-stains/
2. Every 3-4 years for a fence.
3. All wood varies in final color so there is no way to tell outside of getting samples: https://www.twpstain.com/stain-samples

We will reply to your comment shortlyReading 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?

We will reply to your comment shortlyYou will need the TWP 1500 Series as the 100 Series is not allowed in NH: https://www.twpstain.com/wood-and-deck-stains/twp-wood-stains/twp-1500-series

We will reply to your comment shortlyJust 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 will reply to your comment shortlyLooks pretty good overall but the last picture might need a redo.

-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWe 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.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI 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.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyClear with no tint will not provide UV protection. It has to be tinted. Use the TWP 200 Series for Canada: https://www.twpstain.com/wood-and-deck-stains/twp-wood-stains/twp-200-series

We will reply to your comment shortlyA 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!
-
We will reply to your comment shortly
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe semi solids can be used on older composite decking.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortly1) 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?-
We will reply to your comment shortly1. 60-80 grit.
2. They work the same so either is okay.
3. 2 coats applied wet on wet unless the wood is new.

We will reply to your comment shortlyLocated 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?)
-
We will reply to your comment shortlySee here about new wood first: https://www.twpstainhelp.com/prepping-new-wood-for-twp-stains/
To get the new and older wood to blend better, the TWP semi-solid could be used after the wait and prep.

-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI 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 will reply to your comment shortlyUse the same as last time. If you switch, you will need to strip and brighten for prep.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWe 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?-
We will reply to your comment shortly1. 1500 series
2. Yes. Strip and or sand to remove. Brightener after.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHi - I have a cedar door that gets partial sun. I just finished sanding to get rid of the old, flaked sealer. Should I use TWP1500 or TWP 300? The house is in Illinois

We will reply to your comment shortlyHi - I live in coastal South Carolina. I have a screened in porch floor that was stained 7 years ago with Cabot Timber oil. I used restore on the deck to clean it and sanded it. I did not strip it. Should I strip it and then brighten it? Which stain should I use...which is the most user-friendly?! Thanks
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyStrip and brighten for for prep. Use the TWP 100 Series.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWe have a brand new deck and getting ready to weatherproof. What is the criteria to use to chose between 100 vs 1500 vs 200 series product?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlySee here about new wood: https://www.twpstainhelp.com/prepping-new-wood-for-twp-stains/
As for which series to use after, what state are you in?

We will reply to your comment shortlyWe have a one year old deck that was recently stained with Behr semi transparent and it turned an orangish color. Is it possible to stain over it with a semi solid twp without stripping old stain first?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlySorry but no, you have no choice but to remove the Behr and that does not look semi-transparent. They lied to you as it looks like a solid stain on your deck now. The only way to remove it is to power sand it off.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWe have yet to find a stripper to take it off. Even Restore a deck won’t remove it. Finally getting results using a grinder but can’t get all the nooks and crannies.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNo stripper will remove a solid stain effectively. You have to power sand or grind to remove it.

We will reply to your comment shortlyOur deck was previously stained by a deck company with TWP 200 California Cedar. The deck is in need of staining again. Should I use the same stain or should I use TWP 100 or 1500 instead (in North Carolina). If I should change, what stain is closest in color to the California Cedar, and will the previous stain affect the final color?
Also, we installed a new fence around 8 months ago. Is TWP 100 the recommended stain?
Thanks!-
We will reply to your comment shortlyEasiest is to use the same as prior. You can use it for the fence as well.
