Does the 1500 work well on IPE (Brazilian walnut? Its a very dense wood and difficult to stain
Yes, but only 1 coat and make sure you prep correctly.
We are wanting to use a TWP product, preferably 100, but we want it to be black with the wood green showing through. Can any of your TWP stains be died or had die added to them? Another question would be if we used one color of TWP 100 this year but chose to do a different color over it next year is that a problem?
TWP 100 and 1500 cannot be tinted custom. Darkest in the 100 Series is Dark Oak. Darkest in 1500 Series is Black Walnut. If you want to change colors in the future, you can just strip and brighten for prep. Very easy.
Do I need to apply a sealer on top of the stain?
No, and you can never apply a sealer or coating over the TWP.
kiln dry heartwood western cedar . Do I have to wait 4-12-mo to apply 1500 series
how often do you recommend re applying for fence?
Every 4-6 years.
I had to replace a board on my weathered deck with a new deck board. The color difference is great. Will this new board stand out after staining? If so is there anything I can do ?
Yes it will look differently when stained and no is is not possible to match new wood to old wood. After 1-2 years it will blend much better.
Thank you
