We will reply to your comment shortlyWe live on the lake so our deck gets a lot of moisture but it also gets full sun. I prefer it to look more stained than paint. I’ve been told the solid is the most Protection. Advise? Also how much would I need to cover 1200 sq.ft.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyTWP does not come in solid stains. Best to use the TWP 1500 or 100 Series. Make sure to prep correctly first. See here for amounts needed: https://www.twpstain.com/twp-deck-stain-calculator

We will reply to your comment shortlyA wood filler will not work on exterior wood and will not blend with the TWP when stained.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyHome Depot has an Epoxy wood filler. A/b mix. Its sandable. I used several times and it works well. It will stain lighter but will accept the stain. I have used a permanent black or brown sharpie in the past to make it look like a knot in the wood.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHad my pergola painted and they used a sprayer for the top part and the overspray got on my brand new patio made of cement pavers. There was an area not covered with plastic and the painters didn’t realize it. What would be the best way to tackle trying to remove it ??
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyTry a graffiti remover cleaner and pressure washing.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI live in Iowa and have 2 decks that we built 3 years ago with double pressure treated pine. It is already a reddish color but I don't want to stain, just protect it. Which one would I use?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIf you have a current stain on it now, then that will have to come off as you cannot apply TWP over a different brand of stain.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHi my name is Ron I live in Minnesota and I just stained my deck has 100 series dark oak stain I was wondering if I could use a second coat on a deck

We will reply to your comment shortlyHello, I am in the process of building a house. I have 10 8x8 fresh cut cypress columns. I have reads a lot of conflicting information on what to with my cypress columns. I don't like the gray look cypress gets as time passes. I like the look of TWP rustic or dark oak stain. I need some expert opinion on what I need to do with my cypress columns.
Thank you!!-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou can use any TWP color that you like. See here first about new wood: https://www.twpstainhelp.com/prepping-new-wood-for-twp-stains/

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a 3-year old cedar deck that has never been stained. What do you recommend doing prior to staining? Also, it’s a heavy traffic area (main entry for humans and dogs), would you lean towards a lighter or darker color to withstand the traffic best?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUse this for prep: https://www.twpstain.com/gemini-s-restore-a-deck-cleaner-and-brightener-kit
The color will not matter when it comes to heavy traffic.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHow do you make sure a 5 gal container is thoroughly mixed after it has sat awhile and solids have settled?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUse a paint drill mixer attached to your drill to mix. You can get these at a paint store for about $5.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWhat is the color tone difference between the 200 series Cedar Gold and California Cedar? Which is the closest to the clear?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe Cedar Gold is the lightest.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHave been replacing all the boards on an old deck for the last few months. Started in June, and added more recently, which are still lighter in color than the ones weathering since June. I’m thinking about replacing a couple more new boards with newer, less knotty wood, now that I’m able to get my hands on it in the store. If I do this now, will all the wood be weathered enough in late winter/early Spring (Feb/March) to look enough alike and be ready to prep and stain? Worried about the newer boards being too light and not matching the rest.
I’m in GA and looking for as natural wood a color as possible, nothing yellow or orange. Cedartone 101?
Thank you.-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou should be able to prep and stain in the Spring and have the wood look very similar or the same. See here for colors: https://www.twpstain.com/twp-100-series-stain-colors-and-photo-albums/
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThanks, and if there is a slight difference in the Spring would it still continue to weather and blend after the first coat, or would the stain prevent that?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIt will blend eventually.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWe live in North Georgia. Our cedar pergola was originally stained with TWP California Cedar. It is time to stain again since the sun has done some damage. Which product of yours do you recommend?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUse the same color if you want in the 200 Series. https://www.twpstain.com/wood-and-deck-stains/twp-wood-stains/twp-200-series
Prep well first.-
We will reply to your comment shortlySorry...I don't understand your answer. For pergolas, is 100 or 200 series better? Is California Cedar only available in 200 series? How do I prep the cedar pergola- it has 6X6 posts, 10 inch supports and 2X2 across the entire top?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe Cal Cedar is only available in the 200 Series. 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 live in GA. used TWP honeytone on new pressure treated pine deck 4 years ago. Just finished prepping for reapplication with California cedar Local store has told contractor they no longer recommend 100 and I should by 200. Is that correct and why?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNo, use the TWP 100 Series. The 200 is for shakes and shingles.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWe have a treated old treated lumber deck. Put deck over on it and it was awful within a few years. He sanded it all off and I cleaned it with warm water tsp and little bleach.. Then hosed it off. Can we now apply twp 100? Thank you
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyAs long as it is clean and free of the old coating, yes.

We will reply to your comment shortlyNewly built pressure treated steps. Posts are 6x6 should we wait the full 12 months? Do we do under the steps?

We will reply to your comment shortlySee for new wood tips: https://www.twpstainhelp.com/prepping-new-wood-for-twp-stains/
No need to stain undersides.

-
We will reply to your comment shortlyhow to know whether to use 100 series or 1500 series? I guess if you're in one of the state that allows 100, that is the preferred option? We're in Georgia, so we should use Series 100?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyCorrect.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a Mahogany farmers porch that was treated about 5 years ago with Penofin Brazilian Rosewood Oil. I used DEFY wood cleaner and brightener. Photos attached (it was raining so outside boards are wet). I am wondering if I should use TWP on the porch as I see nothing listed about using it on Mahogany. Also, I read that 'Natural' is like a cedarwood color? I want it to have the rich Mahogany color. I see no reviews or comments about TWP and Mahogany wood. Thank you!!
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou can use TWP on Mahogany wood. Most use the Rustic color but you could also use the Natural.
