We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a three year old pressure treated deck and pergola with no stain currently. We live in Kansas, hot summers and cold winters. Do you recommend TWP100 or TWP 1500 series? Pros and cons of each?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyPrep with this and use the TWP 100 Series for KC: https://www.twpstain.com/gemini-s-restore-a-deck-cleaner-and-brightener-kit
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyOld deck but pretty good shape. I used defy deck stain 2 years ago for the second time. The color is quite worn now. Stains don’t last as promised, likely due to fcold winters in New York Adirondacks, frequent below zero temps in long winters.
What do I need to do to use the TWP? Will it last longer as it is an oil base?-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUse the RAD stripper and remove all the Defy. Brightener after. About every 2-3 years.

-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWhich series would you recommend for rainy Seattle weather for a cedar deck that was built in August 2019. How many gallons do I need for a 15'x19' deck? Additionally, do I need to use a deck brightener before staining (i will be using a deck cleaner). Thanks!
-
We will reply to your comment shortly100 Series. Clean and brighten for prep: https://www.twpstain.com/gemini-s-restore-a-deck-cleaner-and-brightener-kit
About 2-3 gallons.-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI only need one coat since it's a new deck, correct?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyExcellent. Should I add a second coat after the first year? If so, I think I will go with the 5 gallon kit. Thanks!
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyMy deck looked great right after cleaning and brightening when still wet. It is now the next day and I see a bunch of wood fuzzies on my deck. What should I do prior to applying the 100 series stain? Thanks!
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThat should go away when stained but if you want, you can lightly sand with 60-80 grit.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe wood is rough right now, will it get smoother after staining without sanding? If I go the sanding route, should I re-clean and re-brighten before staining?
Thanks!-
We will reply to your comment shortlyit is better to be slightly rough when stain as the TWP will soak in better. TWP is a penetrating stain. You really do not need to sand nor should wood be overly smooth.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThat's good to hear. To confirm, it will get smoother after I stain? It's pretty rough to walk on right now. Thanks for your help throughout this process!
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNo, it does not get smooth as TWP soaks in, not films on top. It does help to harden the wood though at the surface.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWe just replaced the top of rails and floor decking on our back deck. The spindles were stained with Cabots Australian Oil but have been sanded down. How long until we should stain this new wood and what product do you recommend? We live in North Carolina and we have neighbors who recommend TWP 200 yet I notice it is not promoted for decks. I am really struggling on which stain to use and what are the pros and cons? 100, 200 or 1500? Our criteria is for ease of application, looks good, but most importantly long lasting and protects the new deck. What would work the best? Thanks for any guidance you can give.

We will reply to your comment shortlySee this about new wood: https://www.twpstainhelp.com/prepping-new-wood-for-twp-stains/
Use the 100 Series.

We will reply to your comment shortlyReady 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!
-
We will reply to your comment shortlySee this first. https://www.twpstainhelp.com/prepping-new-wood-for-twp-stains/

We will reply to your comment shortlyAfter wait and prep. Use the 100 series.

We will reply to your comment shortlyMy 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 will reply to your comment shortlyClean and brighten for prep with the Gemini Restore Kit. Use the 1500 Series. What for 48 hours after rain or prep to stain.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWe 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.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNeed pictures of the current condition and whee are you located.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWe live in Duffield, VA. The lighter picture is how the wood looks in the front where the sun hits all the time. The darker ones are the side and back. The last picture of the front of the house is when we first stained it. The wood siding is Southern Pine.

We will reply to your comment shortlyMany 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.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUse the same. Prep with this: https://www.twpstain.com/gemini-s-restore-a-deck-cleaner-and-brightener-kit

We will reply to your comment shortlyWhy 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.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyBetter penetration with the 100.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlySo it is ok for a new deck even though the website's instructions for prepping a new deck say use 100?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyTypo in previous reply. 100 penetrates better.

-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI 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?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIf you add a maintenance coat you will need to use the Gemini Restore Kit for prep. Only do it if needed.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI 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?
-
We will reply to your comment shortly
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyOk thanks. How long after cleaning and brightening do I have to restain typically? Is it within days, or weeks?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyStain within 2 weeks of prep.
-

-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI 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 will reply to your comment shortlyYes the TWP 100 Series is still made: https://www.twpstain.com/twp-100-series

We will reply to your comment shortlyWe 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 will reply to your comment shortlyWe 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.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyStaying with the 205 is the easiest thing to do.

We will reply to your comment shortlyLast 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
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou need to remove the Defy. Use this kit: https://www.twpstain.com/restore-a-deck-stripper-brightener-kit-detail
With both additives: https://www.twpstain.com/wood-stain-strippers/rad-stripper-additives
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyStripping 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.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes, that would be correct!
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortly2 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?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou will need to remove it first. Use the RAD Stripper and Brightener Kits: https://www.twpstain.com/restore-a-deck-stripper-brightener-kit-detail
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI 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?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe TWP cannot be applied over the Defy. The Defy would have to be stripped off fully first.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI 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
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou will have to remove the Defy and then you can use the TWP. You can strip it off now. Use the Restore A Deck Stripper and Brightener Kit with both additives:
