TWP 1500 1 Gallon Stain
TWP 1500 is a Semi-transparent Oil-Based wood stain and preservative that is allowed in all 50 states.
The new TWP® 1500 formula is designed to penetrate better, dry faster and outperform the previous TWP® 500 series formula.
TWP® 1500 Series is an EPA registered wood preservative which prevents structural damage and wood decay on exterior above ground wood surfaces such as fencing, decking, wood siding, log homes, and roofing. TWP® 1500 Series resists water absorption that causes warping, cracking and splitting as well as preventing freeze damage in colder climates.
TWP® 1500 Series is a low VOC preservative with special U.V. absorbing pigments that prevent unsightly wood graying, darkening and fading. The selected mildewcides inhibit the growth of mold and mildew which assist in preventing premature discoloration.
TWP® 1500 Series will keep your wood beautiful, fresh and looking new longer. The ease of application and maintenance will allow you to enjoy your investment for years to come.

1500 Series and Deck Stain 1 Gallon
We have just finished an Alaskan yellow cedar deck with redwood trim.
Our first question is do we try to get it sealed now before Montana winter sets in or do we wait and let the wood cure? Also, do we do the underneath boards or leave them untreated?
We want to enjoy the beautiful light wood of the yellow cedar but obviously cannot use the clear with no UV (it is a south facing deck). The natural looks quite dark on the monitor. Is it?
Let the wood sit. See this for tips:

No need to stain the undersides. Samples for testing the colors are here:

[quote name=”KathyR”]Curious if I can use TWP on my raised garden beds made from doug fir to help preserve the wood to last longer. Are there any toxins in TWP that could leach into my veggie boxes?[/quote]
Once fully cured, there are no issues.

[quote name=”Jason09″]I have a deck that was stained in 2015 with TP1502 redwood stain. The railings are still in great shape. So am only going to do the top-board for the railings and the deck boards. Thinking I want to goto the 100 series redwood 102. Any concerns with them not matching color-wise?[/quote]
The 102 and 1502 are not the exact same color. In addition, if you want to switch to the 102, you will need to remove the 1502 first.

[quote name=”Mike90″]Hi, I used Pentofin on my hardwood deck last year and I was wondering if I can use TWP 1500 over it or do I need to strip/restore the deck prior to applying? Thank you[/quote]
You will need to remove the Penofin first. Strip and brighten. Penofin comes off easy.

Yes, the TWP 1500 is the correct product for this.

For bamboo, you would want the 300 Series and we do not offer that series.

[quote name=”Albert Lee”]Did not see that Clear was still available per my e-mail just send. Can I use Nature over the Clear instead in order to get UV coverage.[/quote]
Clear is an option in the dropdown color choices above. You can use the Natural as long as you prep with the Gemini Restore Kit.

Last year I brought two gallons of TWP 1500 Clear, with approximately 1/2 gallon still in the can well sealed. Can I still use it? Also is Clear still available and if so how much does it cost to ship just one gallons to St. Augustine Florida. Thanks.

Prepping with the Gemini Restore Kit will help to remove the graying and even out the surface for the staining.

[quote name=”Jakub Nowak”]Does your calculator assume you’re covering the underside of the deck as well? Thanks!
I ask because I have. 20×45 deck with about 100 feet of railing and your calculator says to get 13 gallons. My deck however sits 6 inches above the ground so I will not be staining the underside of deck. Thanks.[/quote]
No it does not consider the underside nor do you need to stain the underside. For two coats and your deck, you will need about 11-13 gallons.

Use the Gemini Kit prep kit when reapplying. It is a cleaner and wood brightener.

[quote name=”Randee”]Three years ago I used 1501 Cedartone on my deck flooring which looked great until about 6 months ago, so needless to say I’m happy with the product. Getting ready to re-stain and was curious if I can use another color?
Also, while there are still overall traces of the original stain, there are slightly gray areas, some algae, etc. Given this how should I prep the deck fro re-application?
Thanks in advance.[/quote]
We would suggest prepping with a pressure washer and the Restore A Deck Stripper Kit:

Once prepped you can change color.

[quote name=”ERIC GUAZZONI”]I have stained my camp deck and camp with honeytone several times over the past few years. Love the color as is. Can I now coat with natural as a protectant to maintain the present shade and still avoid the greying of the wood?[/quote]
No that will not work. The Natural is darker in color than the Honeytone. Best to use the Honeytone again.

[quote name=”codie”]we have a cedar deck installed last fall (in ND) and now thats its spring we plan to clean brighten and stain for the first time. i think i read that its best to put just ONE coat the first time and then in 12-whatever months we can do a second. or do you recommend the two wet on wet approach. or even just a little heavy single coat. thanks[/quote]
Yes jut one good coat now and another in 12-18 months after a light cleaning is best for newer wood. Prep with the Gemini Restore Kit.
