Law does not require me to use the TWP 1500 stains, but the 1511 is not as orangy looking on Redwood as the 100 series. If I use the 1500 series stain for the color, will it last as long as the 100 series?
Thanks.
Yes it should.
Hello,
I am looking to do a wet on wet application on approximately a 2000 sqft deck. Should I do the whole deck or do "half" at a natural break point (hounds tooth corner) or do the whole deck and go back?
Thanks,
Daryll
Do half.
Thanks,
That is what I was thinking. I didn't want it to setup before the second coat.

Hello,
Finished late yesterday with about 500 sqft section, brushed the first and rolled the wet on wet (waited 15-25 min for the remainder to soak before wet on wet), this morning it is still glossy and oily. The stain is 15oo in black walnut. The majority of the deck is covered and was tarped, we heard a chance of a pop-up thunder storms. So, we had no sun on deck to hurry drying. The deck (neglected for 15 years) was pressure washed and scrubbed down with Olympic Oxy-Deck and re-done about 3 weeks later, I have had good results with this in the past (oxy). Please advise, do I now wipe down this section? or do I wait and let it dry? Do I continue with only one coat on the remainder, approximately 1700 sqft to go? Attached pics if they help...
Thank you in advance,
Daryll
You need to remove those tarps and let it properly cure and dry with the airflow and UV! Might want to wipe off the excess stain and let it properly dry at this point. Make sure to soak in oily rags in water and lay flat outside to dry if you do this.
Your prep looks good!
