  • I need advice on fence stain. The contractor I hired recommended to opaque stain paints that were on your worst list
  • 1. IL
  • 2. Late morning to afternoon sun
  • 3. Not sure
  • 4. Fading & sone Mildew Issues
  • 5. Originally used Thompson deck stain but it's been probably 10 years ago and it's held up well until recently

Prep by stripping and brightening with the Restore A Deck Kits. Stain with Restore A Deck Wood Stain or TWP 1500 Series.

Hi, are there any stains you recommend that can be purchased locally in IL? It appears both of these ship 5 gallon pails for free but any single gallons are around $13 ea. for shipping. Return shipping is paid by the customer.  Does this site have any affiliations with the stains recommended? Thank you.

TWP can be found locally in most major markets. Contact them directly for help locating. As for who we are, you can find that in the very first article on the Home Page.

Another quick question... If I use the TWP 1500, do you recommend 1 coat, or the wet on wet 2nd coat?

2 coats wet on wet unless using on new wood that is 4-12 months old. Only one coat is what they suggest.
