We will reply to your comment shortlyWe are sanding a 7 year old cedar deck in Northwest Washington. It had Penofin red label stain and turned dark, dark gray.
Do you recommend a product to strip hard to get to areas? If so, which one?
Do you recommend a cleaner and brightener after sanding?
What TWP stain do you recommend?
-Cheri-
We will reply to your comment shortlySand only, no chemicals
-
We will reply to your comment shortlySorry, Eric but you are incorrect. Stripping and brightening is the way to prep this. Sanding can reduce the TWP's ability to soak into the wood fully. You want the wood as porous as possible for deeper penetration and longer life of the stain.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyStrip and brighten for prep, no need to use the cleaner: https://www.twpstain.com/restore-a-deck-stripper-brightener-kit-detail
No need to sand. Stain with the TWP 100 series.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWhich product do you recommend for 6 month old, pressure treated posts and railings on a 3 story apt. house in central Massachusetts?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou will need the TWP 1500 Series for MA. See this for new wood tips: https://www.twpstainhelp.com/prepping-new-wood-for-twp-stains/

We will reply to your comment shortlyI wonder what application tools you would recommend, I have 30 6x6 pt posts and 900 balusters and railings; along with the fact that there are 3 floors to deal with. Brush vs roller, and what type of roller ?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyBrushes or stain pads: https://www.twpstain.com/wood-and-deck-stains/application-tools/brushes-stain-pads
Rollers do not work very well.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI just bought a log cabin in the mountains of NC - 4500 ft elevation so harsh environment. The logs are in great shape but the exterior finish is not. It's hard to tell if it was ever stained/sealed - if so, I have no idea what was used. Couple of questions:
1. Which, if any, TWP product is best for this application?
2. How should the house be cleaned/prepped?
3. Can you stain over chinking, then go back and repaint chinking grey? If so, what paint would adhere to the new stain? If not how should I go about this - just stain around the chinking?
4. What product do you recommend to fill checks in the logs? Before or after staining?
5. What is the recommended application technique for log houses given the situation discussed above?
Thanks!
-Dave-
We will reply to your comment shortly1. TWP 1500 Series.
2. Would need to see pictures.
3. You cannot paint over the TWP, the paint may not adhere. Best to stain around the chinking.
4. Do not fill checks. Just leave as is. Filler will not work or blend with the sain.
5. Stain pads or brushes.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI live in St. Louis MO. Am getting new teak out-door furniture delivered tomorrow. What product do you recommend- 100 vs 1500? Or?? Is much prep work needed; sanding, sealing, pressure washing?
Thanks- Wes Berg-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUse the 100 series after wait and prep. See here for new wood tips: https://www.twpstainhelp.com/prepping-new-wood-for-twp-stains/

We will reply to your comment shortlyHello, looking for best option for 2 year old Sienna Brown pressure treated deck. Never coated with anything else just the brown pressure treatment. A few spots of mold and mildew. Should I do 100 series or 1500? Also I’m in Canada, is there a shipping charge?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyFor Canada, you would need the TWP 200 Series. The 100 and 150 are not allowed there. Yes, you have to pay the shipping to Canada.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have power washed and sanded my deck, but there are places where the pine sap is oozing out. It gummed up the sander a few times. Can I just stain it? I plan to power wash it again when I get done sanding. I think I want to use a gray stain, what color do you recommend? I live in Missouri.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyLet it dry out longer until sap stops
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou can stain over the sap but when the sap dries it will be white in color. The gray colors will work.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI think the deck is at least 3-5 years old, not sure because we just moved here. Should I do 2 coats of Cape cod gray? And do I need to use a cleaner on it if I power washed it? How long does it need to dry after power wash before staining?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyJust one coat of the Cape Cod Gray. Use the Gemini Restore Kit for prep. Wait 48 hours to stain

We will reply to your comment shortlyI’m in Massachusetts and this is a PTP deck that has dried for a year. Do we need to put 2 coats on? Trying to figure out the order since we have to ship it. Concerned about only getting enough for one coat then a delay of getting more if we need a second coat. Also should we go with 1500 series
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyTwo coats wet on wet. Use the 1500 Series.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWe have a cedar deck and arbor structure that was built 20 years ago. Last time it was stained was probably 15 years ago. I just replaced several floor boards (new wood) and sanded the entire deck and overhead structure up from 60 grit to 100 grit. How long after sanding should I wait before I apply TWP1500 (we live in California)? Should I follow the instructions at https://www.twpstainhelp.com/prepping-new-wood-for-twp-stains/?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes, follow those directions.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI live in CA. What does using 1500 vice 100 cost me in terms of performance and application?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThey last the same and apply the same.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWhy do you always recommend 100 vs 1500 to people in non-VOC states?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNo, not always. Mostly because it is less expensive but there are scenarios where the TWP 1500 would be preferred such as cedar siding.

We will reply to your comment shortlyFinally stained our deck and steps with TWP 1500 Dark Oak - Looks great and I will post a picture. What is a good complimentary TWP color for the posts and handrails?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyMaybe Pecan or Honeytone.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThis is a silly question because this is a TWP stain site, but is there a stain that comes close to TWP? Just curious. Thanks.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNope.
