Hi Scott wonderful website thanks. This is Bill Spence. We are about to buy TWP 203 from you based the great reviews, wanted to get our best thoughts on our situation and prep:
We have a log home built 1978 in the Utah mountains at 8000 ft altitude about an hour SE of Salt Lake City. Tons of sun, UV, snow, rain, post railings. The coating on the logs & wood (due to sprayed on waterbased stain by previous owner) totally failed about 2008 wherever it was in the sun (almost everywhere).
Our best thought at the time was to sand everything down to bare wood one section at a time. We tested 14 stain products by applying sanding next day to see how much penetration.
The winner was Superdeck log home oil finish, amber hue from Duckback, and we’ve been using it ever since, recoating 2-3 years, some areas annually or more. Most of house & post railings good shape and requiring recoat now, a few smal areas of constant sun the wood nearly destroyed but we live with it and slop more oil finish on. My prep is to hose it down with garden hose nozzle to remove dirt 1-2 weeks to let it dry before applying new oil. Works ok. Unfortunately Superdeck Log home oil finish is no longer made, forcing me to find something different (time for a change anyhow).
So is TWP 200 a good choice (203 looks great) to apply on top of the Superdeck Log Home Oil Finish 3 years since last coat? Is there any special prep that’s not too invasive or time consuming recommended (I suppose something in a garden sprayer wouldn’t be too bad) and what happens if we don’t do the prep? What happens if we recoat in year on some areas? SDLHOF had some sheen to it, is there any sheen in TWP 203, and is there a way to add sheen if we wanted?. I guess the other alternative is TWP 1500, but I think 203 is better for us, do you agree?
Thanks for your early reply, we’re about to purchase this from you. Gotta do my sq ft. Is there a way to contact you by phone/text? Thanks again.

When you switch brands of semi-transparent stains, you have no choice but to entirely remove the prior coatings. You cannot apply the TWP or any other stain brand over the Super Deck. It will need to be properly prepped by stripping, brightening, etc., while pressure washing down to the bare wood. You cannot skip these steps.
TWP does not have shine, and you should never have a shiny coating on exterior wood as that will lead to peeling.
The TWP 1500 and 200 Series would work about the same.
Thanks, does anyone make a product like the Superdeck Log Home Oil finish, so we can continue to recoat like we have. Some web sources seem to suggest it’s still available, but not at Sherwin wms or Duckback.
This is a log house, not a deck, I’m afraid pressure washing will remove the chinking.
Can you point me to detailed procedures and best/easiest products to do the prep you recommend.
Seems like the 200 has more wood-nourishing ingredients than the 1500…is that a fair statement?
Thanks again, Bill Spence
Sure, there are many products (TWP stains are included) that you can clean and recoat as needed, but no matter what, if switching stain brands, you need to remove and start over.
We would need to see pictures for prep help.
TWP 200 does help condition the wood internally with non-drying oils.
