TWP 1500 5 Gallon Stain
TWP 1500 is a Semi-transparent Oil-Based wood stain and preservative that is allowed in all 50 states.
The new TWP® 1500 formula is designed to penetrate better, dry faster and outperform the previous TWP® 500 series formula.
TWP® 1500 Series is an EPA registered wood preservative which prevents structural damage and wood decay on exterior above ground wood surfaces such as fencing, decking, wood siding, log homes, and roofing. TWP® 1500 Series resists water absorption that causes warping, cracking and splitting as well as preventing freeze damage in colder climates.
TWP® 1500 Series is a low VOC preservative with special U.V. absorbing pigments that prevent unsightly wood graying, darkening and fading. The selected mildewcides inhibit the growth of mold and mildew which assist in preventing premature discoloration.
TWP® 1500 Series will keep your wood beautiful, fresh and looking new longer. The ease of application and maintenance will allow you to enjoy your investment for years to come.

Hello –
I recently had a fence installed with pressure treated (copper) rough sawn cut red pine. How long before I can stain with 1500 series? I would like to do ASAP to avoid any cleaning etc. Thanks!
If it is a rough-sawn cut, you can stain it now.
Will chlorine effect the stain?Used 1500 series (natural) on my other deck and want to use the same on my pool deck.
If splashed on a deck, chlorine will degrade or lighten it. No exterior stain is immune to chlorine/bleach.
Hello. I over purchased TWP 1500.
How long will this last if I keep unopened in my basement?
2-3 years.
Hi, How do I know if I need 1 or 2 coats on a deck surface? The deck is old, but in decent shape and homeowner told me it was stained with TWP about 3 ago. I intend to prep with the RAD combo system before stain. Since it already was previously stained, do I only need 1 coat? Or do 2 because it is old?
Most likley, 2 light coats applied wet on wet.
How do you calculate square footage of railings with spindles (all wood) to calc the number of gallons needed for non-deck surfaces?

Hi,
Help! I had a brand new deck stained by a professional yesterday who used a sprayer then wiped by hand with a towel. I asked him to apply with a brush instead; he didn’t. The product used was TWP-1501-5 on pressure treated pine. 20 hrs has past and it still looks wet and very blotchy. Can someone tell me if this the norm or was it applied incorrectly? I want to gather as much information as possible before I complain and request correction. From what I’ve read so far it has been applied too heavily??? How should it be corrected? Thanks in advance! Love the product but too blotchy and uneven…ugh

I may need a few more days to cure and dry.
Thanks for the response. I read the article and will give it a few days.
Hello,
I can not remember if I used Redwood or Rustic stain the last time. We have power washed our deck and are ready to stain. Will it make a huge difference if I use a different stain this time, it looks like they are very similar in color. Thanks!
Yes, it may have an uneven appearance. Post a picture in the comments so we can help.
why is it so hard to find the square footage. it should state that in the key features
It is under the technical info tab above.😀Very easy to find.
Hello. I live in the northeast and have a large pressure treated deck (~1700 sq ft) that has previously been stained with a semi-solid product. Half the deck is mostly in the sun and the other half mostly in the shade. The old stain has chipped off over the years; it was most previously stained about 13 years ago. I have pressure washed the deck, replaced some old boards and will sand the deck in the coming weeks. I have some rough areas where splintering has begun to show and thus want to sand. I am looking for deep penetrating oil type products that wont’s peel and that I can reapply every few years with limited prep work. Is TWP 1700 a product that could work for me?
Yes, the TWP 1500 is the correct product. Make sure to thoroughly remove the old stain, and, after sanding, clean and brighten for final prep.
Hello, see attached a photo of the fence. Recently bought a house and wanted to make sure the fence is taken care of. No idea what the past owners have done, but the fence is 5 years old. Was looking at this product, but wanted to know what prep should be done. Thank you!
It looks like it has a stain on it. Could you post a close-up of the wood?
Will respond when we have closed on the house.
I have a cabin with log siding in northern WI that had been neglected for some time. I have attached a picture for reference. If I have the process correct, I would need to apply the stripper, then brightener, then re-stain (thinking the 1500 series)? Is there no need for any sort of top coat for moisture?
What stain was used prior as it looks film forming, almost like a varnish. You cannot strip varnish with a deck stain stripper. You may need to media blast to remove fully before using the 1500 Series.
FYI, you cannot top coat over the TWP stains. No need.
I finished up with RAD stripper and brightener and down to bare wood, how long do I have before I apply 1500? Forecast looks rainy this week…
Wait 48 hours after prep or any rain. Stain within 2 weeks for prep.
Thanks, so let’s say I don’t get a good window within that 2 week period. What will I need to do after that? 48 prior and 24 post without rain has been hard to come by lately. I’ve got 800sq ft plus rails to get done. Decks look good now but the weather pattern looks rainy! Thanks again.
Reapply the Brighener and light pressure wash.
Ok. Can I use some generic oxalic acid or is the RAD brightener different? I can grab some oxalic acid at the local hardware stor quickly if needed. I appreciate the help.
Use the RAD Brightener. Straight oxalic is too aggressive.
How best to remove excess stain that has been “dry” for a week. There is a tackiness that wont come off with a cloth. I read that you can reapply the stain to loosen it up they wipe off or to use mineral salts. Please advise thank you!

Do not apply more stain. That would make it worse.
Can I apply TWP1500 to a brand new Cedar deck?
After wait and prep. See here: https://www.twpstainhelp.com/prepping-new-wood-for-twp-stains/
I’m looking to have my 25 year old deck redone with the 1500 semi-transparent redwood stain, it was stained with Benjamin Moore arbor coat semi-solid stain 2 years ago and is peeling badly. Would sanding followed by the brightener be recommended over the stripper/brightener?
