I live in northern CA and have a 15 year old redwood deck that is in full sun. Two years ago I completely refinished the entire deck using TWP 1502 - Redwood. The deck is on 3 different levels, and the plan was to then refinish one level each year. The deck turned out great even though the color was a little on the orange side. I am in the process of restaining one of the levels, again using TWP 1502, and bought a 5 gallon can. I wanted to check the color to see how the redwood would take the stain, so I took off a few of the stair treads, brushed them down with a stiff bristle brush, and brushed on the stain. The color was much darker and redder (definitely does not match the other levels). I then sanded that stain off and again applied the. The color was lighter but still too dark. Is there a way to lighten/brighten the 5 gallons of TWP 1502?

No, there is not a way to lighten what was applied. You would have to remove all and start over if you want a lighter color. If you want to lighten what is unused, you can add a lighter color of TWP to the Redwood, to lighten it. Look at the Honeytone color to add.I live in northern CA and have a 15 year old redwood deck that is in full sun. Two years ago I completely refinished the entire deck using TWP 1502 - Redwood.
