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

Yes you can use any of the TWP Stains for log homes.

Is TWP 1500 used on the logs on a log home? You don't specify any where in your description.

Edward, we could not find any order from you.

I need to place an order. My previous order was about 12-18 mos ago. I am not sure if my initial order was the 1500 series (cedartone). Please verify via e-mail the series. Thank you.

Shirley,

1. Apply a very light coat if needed in Spring.
2. Do not use Clear. Use Natural again.
3. Clear gives not UV protection from graying. You must have a tint for this. Us the 1500 Series.
4. If the shingles are rough then you can stain right away.

I used a product to seal bamboo fencing at the recommendation of Cali Bamboo. The product I used was Total Wood Protection Lite Cedar TWP-315. It appears that this product is no longer available. Can you tell me what product replaces this product?

Location of deck is northern Ohio. In late May 2013,, after stripping and brightening, we applied 'Natura'l 1500 series and it appeared to penetrate well. The deck is over 15 years old in some areas, but it looks beautiful, now.

1. Should we apply a second coat prior to winter? A few small areas where the stain had two coats looked shiny.
2. We don't want the color of the deck any darker...if we apply a second coat should we use clear?
3. We are putting shake shingles on the house. Should we also use the 1500 or 200 series and should we use clear...we want them to remain natural in color.
4. When should we put stain on new shingles?

Do you have dealers in Minnesota?

Eric, for NE you would want the 100 Series. Please read this article:

Wes, TWP is the only stain on the market that is registered as a wood preservative by the EPA. It contains a EPA registered algaecide. I would use the 100 Series for MN.

Good Day, product specs look great as do the reviews, just not sure what the big difference between the 100 and 1500. i have a hi-wood quality cedar new deck in NE...whats the recommended one please?

If so, which stain is best for a Minnesota deck receiving limited sun?

We live in Minnesota and our large cedar deck receives some but very limited sun. It is bordered by dense woods. I have had difficulty with even the most highly rated stains lasting more than 2-3 months before mold and mildew takes over. Is there any chance that TWP will be different. Please be honest!!!

It should be fine if it was at least 12 hours after application.

What happens if it rains during the 48 hours after application?

Laura, we are an online retailer for TWP. We personally do not have any dealers there.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Are there any stores in Kansas that sell TWP products?

Scott801, what is the total sq. footage with the floors, steps and railings? Probably one 5 gallon pail.

I need some help estimating coverage. I have a 8-year old deck, in full southern exposure, in Mid Wisconsin, pressure treated pine. I have stripped off the old stain and ready to upgrade to TWP. It is about 300 sq ft, with another 50 sq feet of stairs, plus railing. Any thoughts on how much I need?

we do not but we can ship to you.
