TWP Deck Stains – Semi-Solid Pro-Series Review
Before Prepping for TWP Semi-Solid Stain
TWP Semi-Solid Pro-Series Wood Deck Stain Scores (1-10)
Appearance After Initial Stain Application: 9
– We prepped the deck first with the Restore-A-Deck Stripper and Brightener kit and applied the TWP Semi-Solid in the Cedar Mulch color after a few days of drying. The overall appearance was excellent with very even coverage. Semi-solid in appearance with a small amount of wood grain showing. The TWP Cedar Mulch color penetrated deep into the wood grain on our pressure treated deck. This will result in little to no wearing and peeling down the road. We would expect this stain to last 2-4 years before a reapplication is needed.
Preventing UV Graying at 2 Year Mark: N/A
– This is a brand new stain from TWP. The base of this stain is the TWP 100 Pro-Series and which has consistently scored an 8 out of 10 at the 2-year mark. We expect even better UV protection due to the higher solid content of the semi-solid. We will update as needed.
After Prepping for TWP Semi-Solid Stain
Wear/Tear and Peeling: N/A
– TWP penetrates very well into the wood grain and this is normal. The TWP 100 Pro- Series (base of the TWP Semi-Solid) scores a 9 out of 10. We expect the same results for the TWP Semi-Solid Pro-Series.
Cost Per Square Foot: 8
– The price paid was $250 for the 5-gallon pail of TWP Semi-Solid Pro-Series with Free Shipping. The coverage rate is excellent for the TWP Semi-Solid and we used less than 4 gallons for our 800 sq. foot deck. The total amount for the stain on our deck came to $200 or .25 cents per square foot.
