Wood Staining Considerations
New Wood: It is necessary to allow new wood to age for up to six months before staining with TWP 100 Series. Pressure treated lumber should be allowed 12 months natural weathering.
Old Wood: Untreated old wood can be revived to look like new. Remove mildew growth with a Wood Cleaner followed by a 1500-2500 PSI output power washer. Previously stained wood may require a chemical stripping or brightening agent combined with power washing to remove all of the old coating. When working with a power washer use caution to avoid excess fraying of the wood surface.
Understanding the Application
Mix TWP 100 series preservative thoroughly and apply by brush, pump sprayer or roller. You will want to saturate the surface area with the TWP 100 series product. However, do not permit the TWP 100 series to puddle. Any excess product that does not penetrate may ultimately lead to premature failure. You can apply as much material as the wood can absorb. Be aware that over application may leave an oily residue on the surface and may cause premature failure of the stain. Any material that has not penetrated within three hours of application must be removed.
If needed, apply a second coat wet on wet. Once dried the product will not penetrate itself, therefore any attempt at a second coat would be repelled. Do not thin TWP 100 Series during this application to increase the coverage area. Thinning is not recommended.
TWP 100 Series generally has an overnight dry time which is always dependent on temperature and humidity. You can clean up any product spills or messes and drips with mineral spirits.
