We will reply to your comment shortlyI am building a new house in Tennessee with rough sawn cedar accents & posts on the outside and cedar beams on the inside. I like the cabin fever and weathered cedar in the semi-solid stain. Is this product going to be the best for long term color and water repelant or would one of your other products be better ?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes, this would give the best results.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI have been using the the 100 series on my Log home for over 12 years including the original application. It looks and works great!! Why doesn't TWP advertise more as a great product for log home applications? It is a much better product than the over-priced stains you see in the Log and Timber publications? I have used both and trust me TWP is not only better but a much better value.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI live in Austin, TX and will be staining a new deck (aged for 5 months). It gets extreme afternoon sun exposure. Should I use the 100 or 1500 series?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUse the TWP 100 Series. One coat.

-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWant to stain/preserve some bass wood (Indonesian) deck chairs. Can I use your stain for both the chairs and our new white cedar railing (8 months old). I was thinking of the 1500. Seattle area. Thanks
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyAs long as both kinds of wood are prepped correctly and free of previous coatings, you are okay.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHi, I've been using 100 on my pressure treated pine deck for a few years. I like the look of semi solid colors. Do you project the new semi solids to hold up less, equal, better, or longer than the 100 series?What would I need to do to change over?
Thanks.-
We will reply to your comment shortlyBetter UV protection will equate to a longer lifer from fading. Wear and tear will be about the same. Prep with this kit:https://www.twpstain.com/restore-a-deck-stripper-brightener-kit-detail
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyHow will maintenance work for later years.? Strip each time or just clean and brighten?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyClean and brighten.

We will reply to your comment shortlyCan you compare cedartone to honeytone for me in the 100 series? They appear to be very similar, except I've read your description that says Honeytone is the lightest. Is it a light cedar, or totally different color base? Thanks!
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyJust a lighter color, same base. See pictures here: https://www.twpstain.com/twp-100-series-stain-colors-and-photo-albums/

We will reply to your comment shortlyI just stained half my deck with semi-solid super cedar and we think it looks way too orange, especially on CCA treated boards. It looks a little better and darker on the cedar boards I have. Is there a better color, still in the cedar family? Maybe cedar mulch,cedar chest,autumn foliage, or heartwood? Can you just stain one of these right over it? I really do not want to strip it all. It looks good, just not liking the orange.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyColors will vary based on the wood type and age of wood so there is not a way for us to say what is "better" in what would be your personal preference of color. You would have to remove it if you want to switch.

We will reply to your comment shortlyThis is a picture of the ceiling on my porch. I was told this was twp and it was a mixture of 2 stains. Can you tell from this picture what it might be?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyLooks more like straight pecan or cedartone.

We will reply to your comment shortlyMy deck finishing contractor gave me color recommendations for finishing my new deck. One is a blend of (TWP 200/100) Butternut/Dark Oak; One is TWP 200 Butternut; And the Third is a TWP 200/100 blend of Russet Brown/Rustic. Of the three, which one would be the best for UV protection? The first option is the darkest if that makes any difference
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyAll would give equal UV protection.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThank you. We went with the Russet Brown/Rustic blend. Just finished this week. I liked the idea of a blend of the two (200/100) and it looks fabulous! Thank you for taking the time to answer everyone's questions. I don't believe I have ever seen a company do this, and you answer extremely quickly. Customer service is very important to me and you go way above and beyond

We will reply to your comment shortlyNo problem and you are welcome. Do you have any pictures?

We will reply to your comment shortlyHello, I'm having a new deck built out of douglas fir. What do you recommend as a buy-once cry-once solution that will survive high desert heat/full sun? Also, is any prepping required of the new lumber and how easy is re-coating/applying? Thank you
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyAlso, can I spray it on. Thanks
-
We will reply to your comment shortlySee here about new wood. You cannot do it yet.https://www.twpstainhelp.com/prepping-new-wood-for-twp-stains/
It can be sprayed but you will need to back wipe it for a uniform application. Clean and recoat as needed.-
We will reply to your comment shortlyOk, so let them build it un-coated/raw and prep/coat in 4-12 months. Does spraying with an airless sprayer require thinning? What is the preferred method of application? Thanks
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNo, do not thin. Stain pads and brushes are best for applying:https://www.twpstain.com/wood-and-deck-stains/application-tools/brushes-stain-pads
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThanks!
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyHello, my county is telling me I have to have some coating on the deck to pass inspection to move in, what do you recommend I put on it to pass inspection that I can easily remove to put on your product? Thanks
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThat is the weirdest county thing we have ever heard. Tell them that is it not advisable to ever coat or stain a deck right away and it can create more issues down the road.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYeah, I just moved here (Yavapai County AZ) from Oklahoma, and this feels like California rules. Can you ship the 100 Series to zip code 86327? Thanks for all your help!

We will reply to your comment shortlyHow to remove old opaque stain on 15 year old pressure treated pine.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlySand it off. Strippers will not remove solid stains fully.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyDo you recommend a specific stain if you are near the ocean because of salt in the air?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe 100, 1500, or Semi-Solids would work for this area.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI've used TWP 1500 stain on my treated wood decks for a few years and am impressed with it. I have a home-built piece of cedar outdoor furniture that I would like to treat with TWP outside and later bring in to the house. What are your thoughts on this and whether it would be safe after allowing an off-gassing period outside?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes, it should be.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHi
We just installed a new dock on the lake using pressure treated marine grade pine in N Carolina. Trying to research the best stain/sealer to use. I have found several brands that claim to be the best but have not found a good solid review for stain used on docks. Your site says not to sand but I have read that I should sand first after waiting at least 3 mos for the wood to weather. Help please!-
We will reply to your comment shortlyDo not sand, see here about new wood: https://www.twpstainhelp.com/prepping-new-wood-for-twp-stains/
TWP works great for docks.-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThank you...and the 100 series would be best? And no need for an additional sealer? The dock is in full sun all day
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe 100 will work best for NC, You cannot apply a sealer over a stain like TWP. No need.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyOk great! I've read a few comments about how your stain makes the walking surface slick. Will it make the dock too slippery to walk on coming in and out of the water?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyTWP is a penetrating stain, it does not make it slick.

-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI've let a new pressure treated deck age and weather for 10 months. It immediately absorbs water with no beading. Do I need special cleaners or is a light pressure washing enough? Also I would like a clear application, which TWP product do I need?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUse this for prep: https://www.twpstain.com/gemini-s-restore-a-deck-cleaner-and-brightener-kit
You will need one of the tinted TWP colors for protection from UV graying.-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWhich series is that? And can you send me a color chart and information?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUse the 100 or 1500 Series. We do not mail out color charts as they are on the website:https://www.twpstain.com/twp-100-series
