Love your website although the amount of info is somewhat overwhelming. Can you just answer a couple of questions for me?
Can TWP 100 semi transparent stain be applied to a new deck after cleaning/brightening if there is no visible water and the wood is only damp to the touch?
I have 1300 sq. ft. to stain of new PT wood, The deck has seasoned for 7 months in southwest Georgia. Based on coverage estimates, I will need around 4.33 gals – 8.7 gals. Based on your knowledge with new decking, what do you think it will take?

Hello,

1. No. It has to weather, be prepped, and needs to be fully dry.

2. For the 1 coat on new wood, about 6-8 gallons.
