Yes you should use a mask if inside. Strong odor.

I wanted to know which product I should use on our new pressure treated deck, location in the Adirondacks in upstate NY.
100 series is not permitted in NY state, so this is out.
Which is better for our application, the 200 or 1500 series?
Also, can the material be applied with a roller or pad? Does it have to be brushed on. The deck is 12′ x 60′ and a 5 x 14 balcony.
Thanks
Joe
[quote name=”patrick chapoton”]which color stain gives the most protection? I installed a pressure /treated deck (800 sq.ft.)? in 8/14. I will be ordering stain after the drying period.[/quote]
Patrick, Darker colors will give longer UV protection then the lighter colors.
[quote name=”Mare”]I have a 20 year old deck that has a pressure treated floor that has been semi-transparent treated in the past and has always peeled. The privacy screen and railings are cedar. All parts of the deck horizontal and vertical have been stripped (to the best of my ability — there are still sections of old stain that cannot be removed) and a cleaner has been applied.
I was looking at the TWP 100 in cedar grey for the floor (looking for a more solid type than another semi-transparent).
I would like to do the railings and spindles and privacy screen in white. These parts are cedar. What should I use to cover the cedar?
Am I on the right track? I’m also located in Ontario Canada so I’m not sure if I can order the products or not.[/quote]

[quote name=”Dave Kisker”]I’m going to order some samples, but want to eliminate obvious wrong ones. In particular, we want to be in the brown direction, (cedar-ish) not overly dark, and above all, do NOT want orange. The wood is redwood with both sapwood and heartwood, so the orange would really stand out on the sap. Also, it’s a fence, in Colorado, if that matters. I was looking at Rustic, but see that it’s pretty red from a comment below, even though it looks pretty brown on my monitor. Dark Oak seems to be one possibility, if dark. Is Pecan another? Is the Cedartone pretty orange? Could we mix something with the Dark Oak to lighten it a bit, but keep the brown-ish tone?
Thanks.[/quote]
Dark Oak or Pecan and use you can mix colors together.

[quote name=”randy vavrina”]I have a 5 year old home with cedar siding with chinking between the planks which gives it a log home look. It was stained with Cabot semi transparent stain (oil) in their chestnut brown. The home is in Colorado at 7500′ elevation. The UV is really strong here. The climate is relativley dry, we get very strong winter winds and the temperature can get as low as -20 and as high ass 90. The east and west side of the home is looking very thirsty and the siding is starting to turn a little dark. Will the TWP 1500 work and can you match the tint to the cabot color if we got the color formula? How long would you say the TWP would last in these conditions?[/quote]
We do not color match and you would need to prep first by using the Restore A Deck Stripper and pressure washing to remove the Cabot. Apply brightener when finished. One verticals it will last 5-8 years, maybe longer.
[quote name=”Ken F.”]Hi, we live in southern Indiana. We have a redwood deck that is 35 years old , and we are sanding with 40 grit sandpaper to remove all the old finish . I’m 65 years old and wife is 62 so we are not very fast we’re in to our second week of sanding and may need another week to finish . The first wood we sanded has been rained on and is starting to lose it’s red pinkish tint . What do we need to do after we finish sanded before we apply your 1500 product? We are thinking maybe the 1511 Cal. Red . Like I said we’re kind of slow and don’t know if we can get the second coat on before the first drys , should we try for two coats or put on one and then reapply next year? We do not want this peeling off like the last product we put on it which was Behr weather proofing wood finish. We are hoping to never have to sand again. Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated . Thanks ,Ken[/quote]
Use the Gemini Restore Kit after the sanding for the final prep. Get some samples from site for colors.
If you cannot do the wet on wet application then just do one coat now and one coat next year only if needed. Best to have full penetration.

Yes you can use TWP on exterior wood furniture as long as the wood is prepped correctly.

You need to remove the old stain first if you want the TWP to perform properly.

All TWP colors will enhance the natural grain of the wood. Not sure what color you want to enhance too so that is why you should test a few samples.

TWP cannot be applied on top of Wolman. You would need to remove the Wolman first and that would take sanding and or stripping.

Sanding is probably the only way to get it off.

[quote name=”Charles J cerami”]I have a 5 yr old that I used Behr stain twice . Fifty percent peeled off. we are going to replace about 15 board that are cracked and sand the remaining boards to orginal wood.
Do you have a crack filler ? Also a solution to put on the wood before we stain using TWP 1500?
The problem is we have sun light on the deck most of the day and what stain would you suggest for the best UV protection?
We are thinking about using the Redwood 1502 or the Rustio 1516 What color would you advise for best coverage . Also we have a 1500 sq deck how much stain do you think we need?
Any advice you can give would be appreciated
We previously emailed the Stain Depot but they never replied
Give us a call 908-303-3584 or email[/quote]
You cannot use a crack filler or any pre application prodcut before applying TWP. The colors you mentioned are both nice. coverage is the same for both colors. You will need about 10-15 gallons for two coats and 1500 Sq. Feet. Stain Depot is not an authorized dealer.
