TWP 100 Pro Series Label Change

I just fixed my back deck replacing the redwood and started staining yesterda. It rained last night. How long should I wait before restarting? Thanks. I have been using this stain for 10 years and its great.

I used TWP 120 pecan on my new pressure treated pine deck and so far am really happy with the results and color. The water beads up well on it. The stain / sealer has been on a little over 4 1/2 months. Do you make a clear that could be put on over this if I see a need to do some touch up as time goes on? I like the color it is but would prefer touching it up without making it darker.
Thanks for your time. RCW

We have used TWP100 (101 cedartone) series for the life of our 20 year old deck and stairs. The contractor who heavily pressure washed the deck late fall advised us that the product had been reformulated and he felt applying the new formulation would achieve cloudy results, and is hesitant to proceed. There have been probably 8-9 applications of the product on this deck/stairs. Our goal at this point is protection, not absolute perfection. Advice?

Is 1501 as durable as 101 oil base semitransparent?

What is the difference between oil base semitrsnsparent cedartone 101 and Total wood preservative 1501 Cedartone?

Hello, I’d like to use TWP 100 Semi Solid stain in dark brown for the exterior CEDAR trim on my house. There’s a semi solid (or maybe semi-transparent) stain in dark brown on the trim right now, but I’m not sure of the type (oil or water-based) or brand. Does it matter?

Also, there’s peeling in certain areas. What’s the best way to prep for TWP semi solid exterior stain on peeled wood? I’d like to avoid pressure washing if possible.

Lastly, some of the trim will be new CEDAR, some of the which (just below the roof) will be covered with a dark brown drip edge. What’s the best way to protect this new wood before the metal drip edge covers it? I’ve read that you recommend waiting 4-12 months to apply the stain. Should I wait that long before installing the drip edge?

Thanks so much for your help!

Sincerely,

Gail C

We weren’t able to re-stain our deck this summer. Now it’s fall and while the days can get up to mid-60’s, the nights fall below freezing and there is frost on the deck each morning. Is it still possible to stain the deck if we put it on in the mid-morning after the frost is gone?

I have a 30 year old log cabin. We never wanted to stain it. We have used oil based Sealers of it many times. Your products have come to my attention and are well recommended. Do you make a clear sealer couldn’t find one on your web site?

We replaced our deck last fall and need to seal the new wood. We made the mistake of staining the previous wood Deck with products that kept peeling off so we just went darker every few years. A friend in another state used Clear TWP and we are interested, but wondered if we did the clear the first time what we would have to do To prep it if we decided we wanted to stain it the next time. The deck is on the north side of our home in Iowa so the winters are hard on it.

We applied 120 pro series in pecan to our clean, sanded deck. It wasn’t supposed to rain and then surprise, it did after about 6 hours after application. I’m annoyed by these splotch sections. Can I apply another coat on top of this one or do I need to start all over?

Is TWP sold in Canada and if not where in Northern NY can I buy it ; You state that a sprayer can be used; does that mean an electric sprayer and lastly what is your preferred method of applying this to a deck and railings.

Thanks Bill Johnston
