Step 1: Measure Your Wood Surface
Start by calculating the square footage of your wood surface. The TWP 1500 Series Wood and Deck Preservative provides coverage of about 150-300 sq. ft. per gallon, depending on wood porosity. To avoid running out mid-project, purchase a little more stain than your estimate.

Step 3: Ensure Proper Drying Time
Allow the wood to dry for at least 48 hours after cleaning. Check the forecast and ensure temperatures are above 50°F, with no rain expected for a few days, to create optimal conditions for staining.

Changing to TWP Wood and Deck Stain Tips

Many exterior wood and deck owners have dealt with the task of changing their wood surface’s appearance by simply switching to a different wood stain. Whether you want a different look or you are tired of inferior wood stains that don’t last, switching to TWP stain is a good investment.

TWP is an EPA registered exterior wood preservative. It has excellent UV blocking and color retention properties that make it a superb choice for all exterior wood surfaces.

Before switching to TWP Wood Stains, you first have to remove all remnants of the old failing stain. Use a wood stain stripper and not a wood cleaner. Wood cleaners are not aggressive enough to remove old stains. Applying a wood stain stripper will soften the most transparent, semi-transparent, and semi-solid water and oil-based wood stains.
