TWP 1516 Rustic is a very popular red color as the red tones are highlighted with a slightly brown tone.
TWP 1500 Series is available in 9 semi-transparent color choices that penetrate into the wood while enhancing the natural wood grain. The 1500 Series is higher in solids content which may result in “richer” colors than the 100 Series. In general, the 1500 Series color will not match the colors in the 100.
Final TWP 1516 Rustic color will vary based on:
Type of Wood
Age of Wood
Prepping of Wood
Application method

how many coats do you advise for a home subject to harsh winters, snow, ice ?
2 coats applied wet on wet unless new wood. Just one coat for new wood.

I purchased TWP 1516 Rustic a couple years ago and pre painted some rough cut columns. It looked great so when I bought more I expected the same color but it does not seem to match. I am not sure if this is because I need two coats or some other reason? Any ideas?
The TWP 1516 Rustic has not changed colors. If you have a color difference from two years ago, it could be a few things.
-Prior stain or this stain was not mixed thoroughly before applying.
-The stain applied from 2 years ago will change color when exposed outdoors.
-Wood becomes more absorbent over time, and that darkens the final appearance.
-Prep is key to the final color.
I’m not sure how you prepped, but to ensure an even appearance, you may want to consider a strip and brighten it.
The cedar siding will be rustic stained to match redwood house/tower.

Used twp on cedar deck. Cured/dried for several months then sanded and cleaned and brightened and one light coat stain. Second year cleaned and brightened and stained. All fine. Now i am putting up cedar siding. Must it be treated same as deck with curing. Does it need sanding? No place to store siding that long unless a must. Contractor will want to stain and throw it up. I want to do two coats all 6 sides wet on wet as it may never get stained again. Difficult water tower connected to a roof to work around.
Treat like a deck. Install, weather for 4-12 months, and prep. Stain with one coat for new wood and only to the exposed side. Do not stain all sides prior to installation. Do not prestain.
The cedar deck is going into its third year. Roofers dragged a tarp of asphalt shingles across the deck leaving scratches. Do i need to sand or just clean, brighten and stain?

Can you replay back with some pics in the comments?
Can you comment on what went wrong with the original deck prep and staining that it needs to be stripped?

To fix the scratches so ti all blends, you need to remove the current stain. That is why you strip.

After stripping and brightening is power washing a must or can a garden hose suffice?

In July 2021, used a 50%/50% mixture of 1500 series Rustic and Redwood to increase the redness in the Rustic stain and used the mixture to stain the western red cedar lumber of the patio screen I made. The rough sides of the pickets at the back of the screen (behind the patio) stained darker than the front smooth sides. 60 grit sandpaper was used to prep the lumber surfaces before staining.

Would like to use Rustic on vertical of deck and Cedartone for flooring. Do you have any pics of that color combo?
This is TWP 1516. This 1,000sf deck has been coated every other year for the last six years with TWP 1516. The deck itself is 25 years old.

The photos #6 and #7 in this series match the color I obtained on redwood lumber. In contrast, most of the pictures in this gallery are much lighter. Is that variation due to the underlying wood?

Yes. Final color always varies based on wood type, the age of the wood, amount of coats applied, etc.

My wife is worried the rustic looks too red on some of the pics. We have a new (weathered) cedar fence and deck. Will two coats (wet on wet) darken and lessen the redness of the color?

Is rustic and rustic oak the same color stain?
Yes as long as it is the same series.

Can you replay back with some pics in the comments?
Please comment on the entire 2 1/2 year deck.
Strip and brighten is the best and easiest way:
