I have a new cedar deck that has aged for a year. I wanted the natural cedar look, so I purchased TWP 1500 "Clear." I now understand that it will grey quickly. Can I add a pigment to the clear stain for better UV protection?

No, you cannot add pigment to the TWP. You can mix TWP colors together if you like. Add a pigmented TWP color into the Clear.

Thanks for the response. How much of of a pigmented TWP would I add the the 5 gallons of clear, and what color would you recommend to give some protection and a color as close to natural cedar as possible?

Try 50/50 but which color to add is really up to you.
