TWP 100 Stain Series Coverage and Preparation

The TWP 100 Stain Series Wood and Deck Protectant covers approximately 150-300 sq. ft. per gallon, per coat. To ensure you have enough stain for your project, calculate the total square footage of your wood surface, including railings and steps if working on a deck. This will help you determine how many gallons you need.

Preparation is Key

Before applying TWP 100 Series Deck Stain, make sure the wood surface is thoroughly cleaned using a high-quality wood cleaner. Once cleaned, use a broom or leaf blower to remove any debris that may have accumulated on the wood. Proper preparation ensures the stain adheres well and provides long-lasting protection.

Dry and Curing Time of TWP Wood Deck Stains

Dry and Curing for TWP Stains. How long does it take?

It is good to know the dry and curing time of TWP (Total Wood Preservative) Stain prior to applying. Some people get in too big of a rush and want to start putting furniture, plants, grills, etc. back onto a wood surface too soon after staining. It is best to allow TWP to fully dry and cure before allowing foot traffic and items to be placed on the surface.

Drying and curing time for TWP may vary depending on climate and weather conditions. Over application can also affect dry and curing times. TWP should dry evenly flat with no glossy areas. Glossy areas indicate over-application of the product and will extend the dry and curing time of TWP. To avoid over applying TWP, allow the stain to soak into the bare wood for 30 minutes then wipe away or back brush any excess stain that has not penetrated the surface. Do not apply TWP if rain is expected within 48 hours. TWP can withstand light rain within an hour or so of being applied but it is best to wait for dry conditions prior to staining.
