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 2: Clean and Prepare the Wood
Before applying TWP 1500, thoroughly clean the wood using a pressure washer or brush paired with a high-quality wood cleaner. Proper preparation is key to maximizing the performance and longevity of the stain.

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.

Beware of Unauthorized Sellers Offering TWP Products

When purchasing TWP products, it’s essential to be cautious of “fake” eCommerce and Amazon sellers claiming to be Authorized TWP Dealers or advertising questionable “sales” or “liquidations.” These sellers are not legitimate and are not recognized by TWP manufacturing.

Why Choose an Authorized Dealer?

Buying directly from TWPStain.com or another authorized dealer ensures:

  • Genuine TWP Products: Receive only high-quality, authentic TWP stains and sealers.
  • Consumer Protection: Avoid counterfeit or expired products that can compromise performance.
  • Full Warranty Coverage: Only authorized dealers can provide the official warranty and customer support.
  • Trusted Service: Authorized dealers uphold TWP’s reputation for fair treatment and exceptional service.

How to Identify Authorized Dealers

Look for the TWP Online Dealer Logo on websites. This logo guarantees that the seller is a verified dealer, authorized to sell genuine TWP products and provide the full range of customer service and warranty support.

Protect your investment by purchasing from trusted sources. Choosing an authorized TWP dealer ensures you receive the quality, performance, and support you deserve.

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.
