Hi,
Planning to us TWP 100 Series on 2 large decks. I note that the company cautions that it is not absorbed as well with new wood. We need to replace some deck boards with pressure-treated wood, what is the impact? Will we have a very uneven looking stain? Is there a solution? Thanks.
You must let the new wood weather for 4 or more months and then prep.
Is 100 Series oil-based deck stain approved for use in North Carolina? Thank you.
Yes, it is!
Live in SW Colorado. Redwood deck has been sanded. Penofin was used in the past but it darkens and gray in some areas and color was uneven after a few years – sort of like pealing in some of your pictures.
What would you recommend The TWP 1500 series oil based semi-transparent ? Or one that has the Oxide to protect from UV damage.
Strip and brigheten to remove the Penofin. TWP stains are excellent and would work well. All TWP tinted semi-transparent colors have UV protection.

Live in the snow belt, and get a lot of mold and peeling. What is your suggestion to fight the mold. No one in my area sells the TWP.

I have not seen any mention of Outlast Q8 log oil. Have you done any research or testing with this product?
We have not. Consumers have mentioned it a few times. Most were looking to remove it and use a better stain.
