TWP 200 Series is now available to be shipped to Canada!
The TWP 200 Series was designed for shakes and shingles but can be used for all exterior wood surfaces such as fencing, log homes, cedar framed homes, etc.
TWP 200 Series is a semi-transparent oil based penetrating finish designed to extend the life of exterior wood such as cedar shake siding, and shingles. Containing a paraffin oil, TWP 200 series penetrates wood extremely well. The Paraffin oil is a “non-drying” oil that enhances the wood cells structural stability. This greatly improves the woods life and appearance.
TWP 200 Series primary function is to enhance the structural integrity and appearance of aged roofing. The finish composition will minimize grain cracking, cupping, surface erosion, water absorption and surface attack from mildew and algae. Although the system is highly penetrative, the residual surface film is highly resistant to destructive organisms. The penetrative portion of the product absorbs into aged and porous wood, adding bulk to aged and brittle wood fiber. This restores lubricity and flexibility to brittle shingles. At 94%+ solids, these products comply with all current federal and state VOC (volatile organic compounds) regulations.
TWP 200 SERIES will not crack, peel or blister making maintenance an easy task to perform for extended wood protection.
- Compliant in all States
- Sheds and Repels Water
- Prolongs UV Fading
- 8 Colors. Can take up to 30 days to cure to final color.
Material Preparation:
Due to different substrates, wood density, sanding, wiping and application methods, and atmospheric conditions, ALWAYS check actual stain color for accuracy before finish work process begins. We are not responsible for color variances following application of the product.
**TWP® 200 Clear allows wood to gray naturally
How are your products tested (accelerated, outdoor, etc.)? Do you do your own testing or do you use a third party? Have you done testing in northern climates (where I’m at) or just in southern and western climates? How long do you expect your products to last in a northern climate before re-application is needed?
They have been tested in the lab in a UV acceleration machine and in exterior climates. In a northern climate, the TWP should last 2 to 3 seasons.
In 2015 I had my deck done in a 50-50 blend of #202 Redwood and #206 Russet. Your site is confusing as to whether you still offer those colors in the 200 series. The comparison page says you don’t but the product page says you do. Please report back if you do. If you don’t, which colors in the 100 series are the closest to these 2?
Yes, you can order these colors on this link. We have them in stock. Thanks
do you have any samples for the 200 series?
We do not have samples for the 200 Series.
I am endeavouring to stain the decking on my covered (not enclosed) porch. It was built two years ago and the wood is pressure treat micro-pro sienna.
I’m having a hard time with color from the swatches on-line. I don’t want something that is too red or too orange. The porch is in direct proximity to interlock stairs, and the siding all shades of grey (see picture).
Do you have larger photos of these stain colors post application? Do you ship swatches? If not, any suggestions?

Hi, i live in Canada and I stained most of
my deck last year with butternut brown but it is too orange/reddish for my taste. I need to buy more stain to finish the deck but I want a truer brown colour. What colour would you suggest and what will happen if I stain a new colour right overtop of the part that is already stained? Thank you for your suggestions.
Hello, unfortunately, there is not a color in the 200 Series that is more brown than the Butternut.
You can blend colors within the same stain series. I blended 202 Redwood and 206 Russet to get something between red and brown.
I am getting ready to re-stain log home with twp207 this will be the third time twp207 has been applied the other two times I had a professional do it now I have more time to do it myself. what should I clean the logs with before applying the twp207? How many days should I let the logs dry before applying the new stain? How clean do the logs have to be before applying the twp207?
Use this for prep:

48 hours after prep to apply. Make sure wood is free of dirt, mildew, mold, etc before applying.
We have a fence that is painted a cream color. Can it be painted over with solid color stain or would be better to repaint the fence with paint?
Hi Bill,
TWP does not come in solid stain nor can TWP be applied over a solid stain.
[quote name=”Daniel Poirier”]I live in Canada. My house was stained with 1503 dark oak (it was a customs nightmare to get it into Canada) and I am now building a garage and want to use the legit 200 series on its pine siding. Is “dark oak” available in the 200 series, or if not, does “butternut” come close? Also, when I need to add a maintenance coat on the house, can I use 200 series butternut on top of 1503 dark oak? Thanks…[/quote]
The Butternut color is not the same but similar.

Hello,
You will need to strip off the 1500 to use the 200 Series. Use this for removal:

[quote name=”DEBORAH HEFFERNAN”]We have a shingle house, never been treated, we have cleaned but now need a stain that will hopefully blend all shingles… the siding is at least 15 years old, with some older areas, should we use 200 or 1500? and on the small area that we just reshingled, same question.

The TWP 200 Series is best for cedar shingles.

[quote name=”Rebecca M Blevins”]Will the TWP 200 series work on an older deck that needs sanding? The deck has been pressure washed and looks like new but some boards have the potential to splinter. The boards are 1.5″ x 6″ treated lumber probably over 15 years old but are otherwise sturdy.[/quote]
The 200 is a penetrating stain that will help to reduce the chance of splinters.

The 200 is easily removed with the Restore A Deck Stripper Kit. Much easier than sanding:

You can use either for decking but the 1500 is designed for decks.

Prep well to remove the Thompsons and stain with the 200 Series in one of our colors for a longer UV protection over the Clear.

[quote name=”Brandon Pogue”]I had my deck stained (professionally) 1 year ago with combo 5 gal 207 (butternut) and 1 quart 1503 (dark oak) – i know you say 100 or 1500 are better for decks.

You can use the same as last time. The 200 can be used for decks.

The TWP 1500 is not allowed in Canada so it is not legal to be used or shipped there. As long as your prep correctly, you should be okay.

TWP stains are not sold in any Canadian stores. You will have to order from our website. For shipping and total cost, please add to cart and enter your shipping info. The TWP 100 Series is not legal for Canada’s VOC laws but the 200 is. The colors vary slightly between series.

[quote name=”Luis”]what are the differences and similarities? Do you have galleries of projects with different stains ? (specifically looking at slate gray, and some of the brown type color such as butternut type tones)[/quote]
We do not have gallery of projects being that the main reason, the colors are semi-transparent and will look different on different species of wood and age of wood. See this for a breakdown in the differences:

[quote name=”Hobbs”]I want to restore 22-year-old cedar-shingle siding. I will clean and brighten, and then I want to use TWP 200 series.

It can drop below 50 while curing but it cannot drop below freezing. It will also take a little longer to cure in colder temps which should not be an issue for vertical shingles.

TWP cannot be applied over a solid stain so make sure that you remove all. Once fully removed, look at the 100 Series.
