                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[So how does one remove the old (oil based) stain? And how do you do it so that it doesn't damage any surrounding surfaces? (like the concrete/paint covered foundation, plants, etc.) This just seems like it's getting more expensive and difficult - makes me think I should paint instead of stain, which I'd rather not do, since it's irreversible....<br />

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Also, I was wondering what I should expect when I stain new/old wood right next to each other. Will I get a striping effect on the addition where they feathered the old wood in next to the new? Is there any way to prepare either surface to achieve a better result?'  I'm kind of resigned to having to restain the entire house if the new stain is a poor match.<br />
	<br />
	Is TWP 1500 the best product for this application?]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[is there anything close? I can live with close. Also, when I tested the TWP on a couple pieces of wood, it soaked into the new wood very nicely, giving me a clear differentiation of the colors, but on the old wood, they all looked terrible - just sort of darkened the already muddy color. This was WITHOUT preparing the surface in any way - I just took a piece that had broken off and started working with it. I'm hoping that the pressure washing will allow the stain to soak in better. Is that a good assumption?<br />

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Update....I ordered stain samples from TWP and will try them out today. I'm not feeling optimistic that any of the three colors I ordered (Redwood, California Redwood and Cedartone) will be close to the old Cabot color. I decided that TWP might be the way to go, based on some of the other comments, but it would be nice to get that confirmed. Also, any suggestions as to how to get a custom mix to get the right color? I'm sort of on good terms with my local paint store, but they may not be really happy to mix up a competitors stain.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Here are photos of the garage and addition. The garage was originally stained in 1992, again with BM semi-transparent stain. All sides except the east side were stained again in 2006 with the Cabot custom mixed reformulated stain. The addition was just added to the east side of the garage, and has not yet been stained (all boards are rough side out).<br />
	<br />
	The first picture shows the heavily faded east side (up high), along with the north side (by the bushes) and the unstained addition.<br />
	<br />
	The second shows how the addition is feathered into the original boards on the south side of the garage (I'm very concerned here about how to match the colors/make it look good). <br />
	<br />
	For completeness, I have included the west side of the garage, which will also need to be stained.<br />
	<br />
	Thanks in advance for your help.....<br />

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[These two photos show  the original portion of the house, which was stained three times - at installation in 1990 and again in 1993, both with Benjamin Moore semi-transparent stain, and again in 2004 with Cabot semi-solid New Redwood. The first is of the south side of the house, which gets significant summer sun. (The rest of the house is shaded).<br />
	<br />
	The second photo shows the contrasting colors the best - from the east side of the house. Up high is the original house, and down lower is the addition. The stain on the original is very close to what it looked like when it was applied 9 years ago, and is what we really would like to repeat elsewhere.<br />
	<br />
	Two more posts to go.<br />
