The TWP Official Online Dealers and Distributors:
Be wary of certain sites selling TWP, not all are stocking dealers and we have heard many complaints about customers not receiving their orders promptly or at all.
Select Paint Stores and Lumberyards
TWP is available in select markets and retail stores across the country. Best to contact the manufacturers for possible locations. In many cases, it is not available locally. It may be easier and less expensive to purchase from one of the 2 sites above.
Big Box Stores
TWP is not sold in Home Depot, Lowes, Menards, etc. To do this, TWP would either have to change its formula or move operations offshore, to be competitive with the “big box” brands sold there.
What is the difference between TWP 100 clear andTWP natural. Can’t decide on which to use for screened in porch.
Natural is not clear but tinted. Clear will not provide UV protection from graying since it is untinted.
My porch deck rarely sees water and some sun in spring and fall. Do the clear and natural look the same on cedar? What is the clears other uses?
No, they do not look the same. Clear has no tint (no change in appearance) while Natural is tinted so the color will be enhanced. Clear protects against mildew, water, etc.
See some pictures of tinted colors here: https://www.twpstain.com/twp-1500-series-stain-colors-and-photo-albums/
I stain my deck with TWP every two years. The deck is very slippery when it rains. Is there something I can do to avoid a slippery deck?
There is not an additive that can be used. TWP is a penetrating stain and should not be slippery. It is possible that through the years you have built up the coating to the point it cannot soak in anymore and is shiny when dry. If so, best to strip it down so the next coating soaks in and is not slippery.

Hello, did a first coat last June on Pressure treated wood railings. This year, another coat with last years stain, and it dried shiny. What would of caused this? And no, it wasn’t cleaned or prepped, boyfriend was inpatient and doesn’t believe in prepping wood for stain. Last years first coat was applied after he sanded it and that coat was not shiny. I don’t like to see it shiny because everything I read says stain should not be shiny. Also, I think wood grain doesn’t show through as nice with the shine (my opinion). Is boyfriend right, it’s okay… Read more »
No, it is not supposed to be shiny and that is due to over application and improper prep. Thi means is could prematurely fail: https://www.twpstainhelp.com/properly-applying-twp-stain-so-it-does-not-dry-shiny/

Hi! I have 11 rolled bamboo fencing that are 6f by 8 foot each section. It’s not treated. I want to keep the bamboo the light color it is or match something close. I also live in Chicago which has bad snow, rain, and humidity. Can you guide me to exactly how many gallons and which type is best for me? Along with how to prep the bamboo, it’s brand new. Thank you
You would want the TWP 300 Series but we do not carry that series. Do a search online for that and you should be able to find some dealers.
Does TWPstain.com offer military discounts. Contemplating, Lowe’s offers 10%. I will be purchasing 5-5 gallons buckets of TWP 100 Cedar Tone.
I am sorry but we do not.
I live in Philadelphia and have used the 1501 cedartone semi trans on pressure treated pine decking. Is this is the right formula for this area? Thank you.
Yes, that is correct.
I live in northeast central Florida on the St. Johns River. I want to put a wood preservative on my dock. It is treated pine and was rebuilt in January of 2018 . Most of the original dock was destroyed during Hurricane Irma in 2017 with the exception of a 3 ft. by 40 ft. walkway which is about 18 years old. I prefer a clear (untinted) product. I was considering the TWP 100 clear product and wondered if it lasted as long as the tinted coatings. Also I wondered if it would turn gray after long exposure to the… Read more »
Clear untinted means it will not protect from UV graying. Do you want the wood to gray naturally in a matter of months? If not, you must use a tinted color. Prep with the Gemini Restore Kit: https://www.twpstain.com/gemini-s-restore-a-deck-cleaner-and-brightener-kit
Thanks for the quick reply. I do not mind the graying as long as it is protected from the rain, mold, mildew, etc.
The TWP 100 Clear will work for you then.
Thank you very much.

I have a new addition that was clad in 4″ shiplap cedar, smooth side out. It has weathered over the winter – about 6 months. There are some water marks (to be expected). I plan to use TWP 100 series (in Iowa), color Dark Oak. Is there anything we need to do to prep the siding and deck to receive stain, like using the Brightener/Cleaner product? I did samples of the Dark Oak and Cedar, and the Dark Oak seemed less uniform (i didn’t prep the new cedar on the sample though). Want to insure most consistency and work with… Read more »
Yes, you must prep with the Gemini cleaner/Brightener.

What is the difference between TWP 100 and TWP 1500? I have a deck that is 14 years old and previously stained. Sun damage and mold is taking a toll. What would be best?
Mainly VOCs. See this article: https://www.twpstain.com/difference-between-twp-100-and-1500-series
New deck with Kiln dried pressure treated pine. I note your reference to “mill glaze.” Would sanding allow proper penetration of 1500 stain? The deck is only 14×14 feet and sanding would not be a big job.
Thank you.
No, sanding will not work. See this for tips: https://www.twpstainhelp.com/kdat-and-twp-wait-period-for-new-wood/
I just had TWP 100 Clear applied to my 3 year old cedar deck and do not love the result. Can I apply a coat of TWP stain over the clear or would I have to strip and sand to prep the wood? Thanks.
You would have to strip. Use this: https://www.twpstain.com/restore-a-deck-stripper-brightener-kit-detail
FYI the deck has never been stained or sealed before. Thanks
You still need to remove the clear if you want to go with a tinted color.
Do you have samples available to try on my deck before purchasing it all?
On this link: https://www.twpstain.com/stain-samples
I live in south west Virginia. Deck is pressure treated pine- gets morning sun, shade in the afternoon. Temps vary from zero to 95 degrees F. I previously used Cabot oil based on new wood some 12 years ago and re-applied 5 years or so ago. Deck now looks sort of crappy with mold. I have pressure washed the deck and awaiting all the hurricane rain to go away. What TWP product might I need?
Thanks
TWP 100 Series. Make sure all the Cabot is removed first.
Thanks- I’m wondering how I’ll remove “all” of the Cabot. I have pressure washed the deck but NOT down to bare wood. Primarily I intended to get rid of all the black mold rather than strip the deck. Should I pressure wash again. Must I use a sander? Is this extra work essential for TWP to provide a good result?
Thanks
Crady Adams
Post a picture, please.
Love to but am unable to copy/paste a JPEG photo. Yeah, so I’m stupid. I’ve tried different approaches for over an hour- No success. How about some hints or references so I can be less stupid… Thanks

Just put up a new pressure treated deck 2 months ago in Michigan. Which product of yours do you reccomend for this climate?
See this about new wood: https://www.twpstainhelp.com/prepping-new-wood-for-twp-stains/
Use the 100 Series after the wait and prep.
do twp 1500 series products come in smaller than one gallon sizes?
It does not.
