[quote name=”Derek Spangler”]Is the 100 -200 sq ft coverage for the wet on wet which is 2 coats or is that for one coat. If it’s only for 1 coat then I guess I need to cut the coverage in half? Please advise. Thanks.[/quote]
That is for the 1st coat. A second coat if applied with spread twice as far as the first coat. Our calculator will help:

[quote name=”Ben Crumpler”]Stained a new deck (after allowing to age for 6 mos) with Cabot Australian Timber Oil Honey Teak in 2012. Can I apply TWP 100 over the Cabot oil ( very weathered) and if so what prep needs to be done ? Do I need to sand the deck in addition to cleaning? Is it possible to get a small sample of the Honey Teak color to see what it looks like on the deck ?[/quote]
The TWP cannot go over the Cabot. Best to prep by removing it with the Restore A Deck Stripper Kit:

[quote name=”TF”]I bought a place with 4’x 100′ dock back in 2011. Looks like PT pine- 11″ W boards. Cracked and aged. Powerwashed it all to get out deep grime this month. Have not treated it since acquired. Should I sand?– that would take days with a handheld orbital as there are nails throughout holding it down so a surface sander would not work. Should I fill boards with a bond leveler like you sell on this site? That would require a color added and does the bond material reflect color just like wood or will it look blotchy? Do I need to further clean ( I washed it really good) ? Should I use TWP 100?[/quote]
Wood filler does not work and will not stain to blend with TWP coatings. Do not use them if using TWP. The PermaFill is only for the Deck Revive. No need to sand. Clean and prep with the Gemini Restore Kit if still dirty. If not, go ahead and stain with the TWP 100 or 1500 Series.

TWP does not turn black like the SW Super Deck does. Strip and brighten for the prep with this:

[quote name=”Debby”]my deck was stained with Olympic Maximum stain + sealant in canyon brown. There are white streaks this year. It’s a double deck so a lot of work to strip and stain. Can we apply something over the original stain? We are in Vermont with harsh winters. The color should be in the same family but does not need to be exact. Which is the longest lasting product?[/quote]
Hello, sorry but TWP cannot be applied over this. You will need to remove it down to the bare wood. Once removed, use the TWP 1500 for VT as the 100 is not allowed there.

[quote name=”Ron Fritcher”]Tell me about your Clear 100 (No UV Protection) product. I want that wet cedar look on my one year old all cedar deck. Would you recommend this, or your Cedartone 101? What would last better? Deck is on the north side of my home. Most sun is June, July, Aug. I live in MN.[/quote]
The Clear does not change/enhance the color and will not offer UV protection. Honeytone is the closest to a look that is wet look. Cedartone is slightly richer.

[quote name=”Sue Harrison”]I love the TWP 100. Wish it came in more colors. I used the Cape Cod Gray but now want to change the color to Dark Oak. Will it cover the gray?[/quote]
Sorry, but no it will not. You will have to strip off the gray if switching to a different color. Look at the Restore A Deck Stripper Kit.

[quote name=”David Davenport”]Just had my deck refurbished. The deck is on the south east side of my home which gets sun all day. Which stain is best for my application? I want to use semi-transparent with the most UV protection. Please advise.[/quote]
Refurbished? As in new wood or just prepped? New wood needs to weather for 4-12 months and be prepped before applying the TWP. As for the stain, you would want the 100 series if allowed in your state. If not, you will need the 1500 Series.

[quote name=”Fred Wilkerson”]I have used your product previously on a deck at my mountain home in WV. Time to do my deck in Charlotte NC. Thinking that TWP100 would be the correct product. Is there any reason not to use this product. My deck is roughly 40′ by 14′. Will two 5 gallon buckets cover that area?[/quote]
Yes you would want the same product. Make sure the prep is done correctly. Coverage varies if you have railings, steps, etc. Please use our calculator to the right of this page to help determine amount needed.

[quote name=”Kent Lundberg”]Last fall we installed new pressure treated decking and coated it with TWP-100. It has slightly grayed and only beads slightly. Other than a quick power washing, do I REALLY need to do any other preparation before adding a new coat of TWP100?[/quote]
Just make sure that the wood is clean and you should be okay to stain since it was done just a year ago. Using the Gemini Restore Kit is needed if it has been 2 years or more since last application.

[quote name=”Oglefamsc”]Our deck is 11 years old and never been weather sealed, painted or stained. I am currently pressure washing it to clean it. It gets a fair amount of sun except for next to the house which will become blackened, slick with the green mildew. I am thinking of using the 100 gray. Would a 1500 product be better?[/quote]
Both Series work very well. The 1500 is not a better stain, but is as good.

[quote name=”Gina Buhrman”]we want to change the redwood cabot stain on our deck. Can we go with Pecan or should we go Dark Oak? Would Peacan look okay over redwood?[/quote]
TWP, cannot be applied over the Cabot stain. The Cabot needs to be removed first. Use the Restore A Deck Stain Stripper and pressure wash off the Cabot. Apply the Restore a Deck Wood brightener to neutralize. Once removed, you can use any color of the TWP.

[quote name=”CoryW”]Hi There. I need to stain approv 140 ft of a 6′ high fence. How much stain would i need? Living in Seattle I am thinking 2 coats would be a good idea. Any advice on the best way to apply? Roller?[/quote]
Are you doing both sides? If so it should be 140 (length) x 12 (both sides) = 1680 sq. feet. For 2 coats of the TWP applied “wet on wet” you will need roughly 15-17. See this about application:
