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

Ready to seal/stain a brand new cedar deck. We are in Nashville TN. What are your recommendations for the best product and application for holding up in cold winters and humid summers? thanks!

My 20-yr old deck was pressure washed with bleach and water last week. It was originally stained when first built by the builder, but has not been stained in at least 8 years, only pressure washed 2-3 times in the past before this fourth time. It is treated wood (pine) and gray. Do I need to use any additional cleaner/brightener and can I use the TWP or do I need to go with a solid stain? If TWP, the 100 or 1500? Also, how long after it's rained can I stain the deck? Thank you!

We are getting ready to restrain our house for the very first time. The sun hits the front of it all day, so it is faded and will absorb more than the rest of the house. What series do you recommend we use? And the color is darker than we like, so we're hoping a lighter stain will help with the color. Any suggestions appreciated.

Many years ago I use 201 on my older cedar siding. What product do you recommend I use to stain my cedar siding? Also, should I apply one or two coats as I have not stained the house in 5 years.

Why do you recommend the 100 for a new deck if the 1500 is new and improved? We have a new, pressure treated pine deck, seasoned for approximately 1 year and ready for stain. We also live in Texas. Thank you.

I stained my deck last year and thinking of an additional coat this year. Too soon, and if not what cleaner just for dirt before reapplying?

I stained my heart redwood deck 5 years ago right after I built it with California Redwood TWP1500. Can I just clean and brighten without stripping if I use the same stain again?

I applied 102 Redwood two yrs ago to red wood deck. Need to restrain. Do you still make this 102.?
if not, what is equivalent. Colorado.

We installed a pressure treated deck in upstate NY last fall. We will be ready to stain the deck in 1-2 months after we clean and allow dry time. We don’t like red or orangy stain colors. If we like the early american and special walnut colors from minwax - what stain color do you recommend and do you have any pointers.

Thanks!

We purchased a home that used TWP 205 on the deck and pergola. Should we stay with the 200 series or use the 1500 series? We are located in Atlanta Georgia.

Last year I applied an application of Defy Extreme it didn’t cover well. I going to switch to TWP product. What do I need to do? What do I need to do first? Jim

Stripping a 20yr old Pressure treated Pine deck and Cedar picket fence(I think). Will be using your RAD stripper / brightener. This is in Missouri I am thinking I should use 1500 since it has a higher solids. Am I thinking correctly? Considering Pecan tint.

2 YEARS AGO I APPLIED A SEALER/ CEDAR STAIN (ADM 2003) AN OIL BASED PRODUCT, THERE IS NO CRACKING OR PEELING ON SURFACE OF DECK. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO BEFORE USING TWP 1500?

I stained my deck last summer with Defy Extreme Clear. Some areas didn’t get covered real well. Can I reapply another application of clear right away?

I just stain my deck last year with Defy Extreme. It doesn’t look like it covered very well. I would like to try the TWP stain. Is it too early to stain TWP or should I wait a period of time. Jim

60' x 8' wraparound covered cedar deck. Three years ago contractor put 2 coats of a product only designed to be one coat. He ended up stripping and sanding the whole deck to remove the "stickY" result of his mistake. We then put water based and expensive clear coat. It has not protected wood and I ended 6 hours of pressure washing the deck which looks very good now.

Can I put your product on that surface as it is now? We are in state of Washington. Thanks

2 years ago i stain a new deck with Australian timber oil using the 19400 series which goes on as latex and dries as a oil finish and has not held up well. I would like to re-do with TWP 100 series. if the deck is cleaned with restore a deck will i be able to put the TWP 100 on?
Thanks,
Bill

For a new weathered redwood deck, is 1500 recommended or would you recommend TWP100 if my state allows it and would you recommend RAD or Gemini to clean and brighten? Is the redwood tint very subtle as I want to just highlight the natural wood coloring.

How many coats on a criss Cross Wood Cattle Fencing that is a year old and never been stained or sealed? (if we use TWP 1500) This wood fencing is out in fields. I assume this serves as a sealer and stain and no need for any other under coat?

I read through some posts. Looks like you recommend the 100 series for the first time, after the weathering period? Would you recommend continued use of the 100 series or switching to the 1500 series for continued maintenance?
Thanks.
