We will reply to your comment shortlyHi, a few pre-sale questions from Quebec
1) I cleaned and sanded my Sept 2021 deck at the weekend, but got lazy on the upper frame. In Pic 1, what might these blue stains be and will a cleaner product remove them?
2) Thoughts on which TWP-200 is close to the colour in Pic 2?
3) Pic 3 is my old porch steps cleaned but not sanded. What should I do next to prep this for TWP-200?-
We will reply to your comment shortly1. looks like mildew embedded in the wood. A cleaner will not get it out. Nothing will as it is very deep.
2. Cedar Gold or Cedartone.
3. Strip and brighen for prep with this kit: https://www.twpstain.com/restore-a-deck-stripper-brightener-kit-detail

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have lots of well-weathered older decks and one dock, all previously stained with TWP101 Cedar Tone Stain many years ago. I like the transparency of the TWP 100 series. Could you compare the relative difference in transparency between the 100 series and the 1500 series using words that a dummy might understand? I have noted the difference in solids between the 100 and 1500 series is approximately 100 percent.
Does low VOCs mean more solids, less penetration and less transparency?
How does the penetration compare between the two? Which one do you expect to last the longest and by how much? And lastly, what is so new and improved with the 1500 compared to the 100 and why do you not provide a cheaper price per gallon for 5 gallon versus 1 gallon purchases? Are there price breaks at any quantity? I live in the Atlanta, GA area? I need a bunch. Thanks, Hal B-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe transparency between the 100 and 1500 is exactly the same. No difference.
The 100 will penetrate slightly better. They both last about the some before recoating is needed. The 1500 will give slightly better UV protection. 5 gallons ship free otherwise the pricing is the same compared to 1 gallon to 5 gallons when 1 gallons are x by 5. No discounts based on quantity.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI live in Jackson, Mississippi. I live on a lake and have a wooden seawall and dock that were built in 2007. In 2020, I put new wood on the top of the dock and installed new vertical boards in the seawall and put a new "cap" on top of the seawall. A photo is attached. I want this wood to last as long as possible. Should I use the same stain on the seawall and the dock? What stain(s) should I use? Do I need to condition or prep the wood? Is there any benefit to treating the bottom side of the boards on the dock? Thank you in advance!
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUse the same stain for all. We would suggest the TWP semi-solid stain since it has the best UV protection: https://www.twpstain.com/twp-semi-solid-pro-series

We will reply to your comment shortlyWe are in Georgia. Deck and fence are about 20 years old and we have used the same crew the entire time to clean/stain everything pretty regularly. They are no longer around but I know they always used TWP 200. Should we use 100, 200, or 1,500? If not 200, why? If continue with 200, why?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyTh 200 Series is designed for vertical shakes and shingles. Use the TWP 100 Series for a deck in Georgia.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI live Lake Tahoe Ca where we receive lots of snow and sun. Should i use 1500 or 1000 to re-stain my decks?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou need to use the TWP 1500 Series for CA.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI live just north of Atlanta and plan to stain a new pressure treated deck. How long should the wood dry and which series do you recommend? The deck is on the south side of the house and will get a lot of direct sun.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlySee here for new wood tips: https://www.twpstainhelp.com/prepping-new-wood-for-twp-stains/
Use the 100 Series.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI built a new pressure treated pine fence. I've waited roughly 4 months for the treatment to exit. What series stain should I use?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWhere are you located?
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYour comparison above between 100, 200, 1500 series products indicates that 1500 is "Best!", however most of your recommendations in the comments are to use the 100 series products when available in those states. Why is that? Also, given that the 1500 series product has more solids by volume, does that give it better UV protection?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe 100 Series is able to penetrate better especially on newer wood. The UV protection is slightly better on the 1500 Series compared to the 100 Series but penetration can outweigh UV protection for newer wood.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI am building a deck with freshly milled new cypress wood, with 8-12% moisture. I live in Mobile, Alabama, so sun and humidity are normal. I plan to stain with penetrating oil base twp-semi-solid-pro-series 105 Cape Cod Gray. Vintage Woodworking STRONGLY recommends staining the wood before constructing the deck. That is contrary to TWP instructions. Is it necessary to age cypress before staining?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortly80% of our deck is new pressure treated lumber. The remaining 20% is old pressure treated lumber stained with TWP cedartone. I'm interested in staining with TWP 1500 sea foam. Do I need to sand off the existing cedartone color, strip it, or can I stain over it?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlySee here about new wood: https://www.twpstainhelp.com/prepping-new-wood-for-twp-stains/
Strip and brighten the older wood.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHi. Recently bought my house. Deck is pressure treated lumber. 25 years old. I sanded off old stain and paint and power washed what leftover white paint is in picture. I live in CT. What should my next steps be and which of your products should I use?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou cannot use the TWP Stains unless you fully remove 100% of the white paint and that will require power sanding.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI live in Michigan. I bought a cabin that was stained using 1500 in Rustic color right before I purchased last year. I don’t like the color as it seems too red for my taste. I’d like to restain with Dark Oak. After 1 year can I just go over the Rustic 1500 with Dark Oak? Which would you recommend for the restraining - 100 or 1500? I also have a shed shed that is sided with western red cedar shingles that were pre dipped in Superdeck 1900 before installation. The shingles are 6 years old and need to be re stained. Would you recommend 100, 200 or 1500 for the shingles? Do the shingles need to be stripped before re staining? Thank you.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou will have to strip and brighten for prep: https://www.twpstain.com/restore-a-deck-stripper-brightener-kit-detail
You will need to strip and brighten the shingles as well. Use the 1500 for all.
