TWP Stain Reviews Ratings Comparison | 100 Series | 200 Series | 1500 Series

Mark, TWP is not designed for Exotic hardwood decking.

We are interested in your products. For application on a Tigerwood deck, we assume that the 1500 Series would be the best choice. What color do you believe would be best suited to allow the coloration of Tigerwood to show through, but provide the best protection against UV rays?
Thanks

Steve,

Yes only the 1500 for OH. The Cedartone is a brownish/cedar color. I would get two gallons for the two coats.

follow up questions... we used 4 samples you sent us(Cedartone, honeytone, pecan, natural) My wife thinks the honeytone may be to light and the natural may have to much pink color in it. the pecan seems to have a lot more brown in it. cedartone is our 1st choice with pecan our second. wanted your opinion on our color observations and instructions on how to apply two coats on our freshly sanded wood. thanks. steve from cleveland ohio. (i assume we have to use 1500 series)

Because of EPA restrictions...do i have to use the 1500 series if i live in cleveland, Ohio area? I have a 20 year old deck that i cleaned and sanded and its ready to stain. 200 sq feet plus the railings. How much would i need to order if I wanted to put two coats on?

Shante, you can only use the 1500 in CA. I would suggest getting some samples to test out first:

We live in Malibu, Ca close to the water but not right on it. We get morning and evening dew/fog. What do you recommend for a 1200 sq ft; half new and half old redwood deck & railing (railing is all new)? We made a horrible mistake and used Behr transparent redwood stain. It looks like solid fire engine red children's paint. It's the worse product ever. We are in the process of stripping and sanding it off. So we are a little camera shy. How is TWP cali red? Is it very red and is it really transparent? Also what do you recommend 1500 or 100?

We just repaired, stripped and rebuilt half of a 1200 sq ft deck. We started putting on Behr transparent redwood. To our shock it looked absolutely horrid. What a huge mistake we are in the process of stripping and sanding that crap off! Now we are extremely nervous of what to put on this thing. What works best for Malibu, Ca close to the ocean but not right on the water? We get morning dew every morning and evening. So do we use the 1500 or 100 Series. And is the Cali Redwood really red. That Behr crap looks like a freaking fire engine solid red.

Judit B, either would work just fine. 2 light coats wet on wet application.

1-year old premium pressure treated wood deck in north central Arkansas, has not been stained, full sun all day. TWP 100 or 1500? 1 coat or 2 coats?

Albert, TWP 100 for Denver.

Denver area with west and south sun on a redwood deck. Recommend TWP100 or 1500?

Ben, Yes the 100 Series.

And is the 100 series product the correct choice for may particular project described below, vs the 1500 series? thanks

The TWP 101 is called Cedartone Natural. You would want this.

Hi,

I want to double check I am ordering the right product for a cedar deck in Seattle, on a small lake, western exposure. I am planning on ordering the TWP 100 product instead of the 1500 product. 101 to be presice. I believe 101 used to be Cedartone but is now named Natural. Can you confirm that the 100 product is the correct product for my environment? thanks

Naomi, TWP is not suggested for exotic hardwoods such as yours.

Our deck is a Brazilian mahogany.
We are going to have it stripped. Can I use your 1500 product on it?

Dan, TWP is not designed to be used on exotic hardwoods such as Tigerwood.

I have a 256 sq ft of tigerwood on our covered entry. Which product and color do you recommend?
