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

We will reply to your comment shortlyI live in Wisconsin and have a cedar fence that was installed about 4 years ago and never had any stain on it. Can you recommend a semi-solid or semi-transparent stain. Is clean-up soap and water for use with this stain? Also what is the method for preparing the fence for staining.
Thank you for your time-
We will reply to your comment shortlyTWP 100 Series or the TWP Semi-Solid. It is oil based so mineral spirits for cleaning. Prep with this kit and pressure washing.https://www.twpstain.com/gemini-s-restore-a-deck-cleaner-and-brightener-kit

We will reply to your comment shortlyWe have a 25 year old cedar deck in Georgia. We have been using TWP 200. However, it is not lasted very long the last time. Should we be using the 100 series or something else?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyTry the Semi-solid. https://www.twpstain.com/twp-semi-solid-pro-series
Make sure to strip and brighten first: https://www.twpstain.com/restore-a-deck-stripper-brightener-kit-detail

We will reply to your comment shortlyI live in NE Kansas and have an 8 year old treated deck that I have coated with a clear water proof coating in the past I would like to color stain the deck which TWP produce would be best for me to use
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyMake sure to remove the old clear sealer first. Strip and brightener: https://www.twpstain.com/restore-a-deck-stripper-brightener-kit-detail

We will reply to your comment shortlyI am building a large semi circle heavy arbor around my firepit with rough cut cedar I milled with a friend. I want the cedar color to show and have good UV protection but not have it peel but rather soak in like an oil . What do you recommend.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe TWP 100 or TWP 1500 Series for this. Both are penetrating oil based stains.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a 27 year old, 900 sq. Ft. Redwood deck. It bakes in the extreme desert sun of New Mexico in summer and extreme cold at times in winter. I still want to be able to see the wood grain. Which product would I want to use?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIf you want to see the grain more than the semi-solid, then use the TWP 1500 Series.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI am installing a new bamboo fence. What would be the best stain to use?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe TWP 100, 200, and 1500 Series products we sell cannot be used on bamboo.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlywhy not?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThey are penetrating stains and they will not be able to penetrate bamboo.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyOf 100, 200, 1500, which series would penetrate deeper into prepped cedar?
-
We will reply to your comment shortly100 Series.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWhat is the advantage of deeper penetration?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyLess chance of wear and tear.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyOn the wood or on the TWP color?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWith the stain.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyA softwood (like my 80-year-old cedar siding) would be more penetrable anyway, wouldn't it, by the very virtue of it being a soft wood? I noticed in reading just now about 100, it mentioned hardwoods.....
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou can use any of the TWP Series on cedar as long as they are allowed in your state.
