I purchased a hemlock board and batten shed. How long should it dry for. What’s the best product to put on it. I’m not too concerned about color as much as durability. Live in New York. Thanks. 

can this be used to stain a cedar shingle roof?

Looking for a long lasting deck stain.  Have a cedar deck and porch.  Definately don't need to strip anything.  But the wood is gray - I want to restore the natural beauty.  What do you recommend?  

Have IPE deck went completely gray would like to restore to original color, which products provide the best result?
Also have IPE siding on the house (different source) same question except siding isn't grey just needs to be refreshed?
We are in NJ.

I have used the armstrong mahogany stain every couple of years on my mahogany deck. My wife would prefer to see the deck a bit lighter, so I ordered the amber sample. If we like this color, do I need to strip the deck or can I use my deck cleaner and brightener? (I love the fact that this can be applied in direct sun here in New England)

I bought the restore a deck stripper and brightener for my, covered IPE wood,  porch.There are still some black spots on the deck after stripping it.Should I use the brightener first and go from there or should I try the stripper again with the booster additive I just ordered ?We are planning on only oiling it in the future.The stain was put on about 5 yrs ago and I don't know what the guy used.

Hi,
We purchased a home in Cape Coral, FL. It's boat dock has been partially repaired, re-stained (see attached picture - you'll see the "multi-color problem"). The wood seems fine. But what stain would you recommend here ? We like the lighter colors (cedar). I assume we will need to use a semi-solid stain, or maybe even a solid stain, to get uniform color across the whole deck. We'd like to avoid "solid" but it seems that might be difficult to do.

So we are ready to stain. We received your shipment, but we don't have a drill mixing attachment yet (ordered it 4 days ago from Lowe's and it hasn't made it into shipping yet). We would like to get started. Any suggestions about how to effectively get the solids in the stain mixed well without the drill mixing attachment? I am concerned that if we just stir the 5-gallon bucket with a stick that we'll only move the solids around on the bottom of the bucket and not effectively get them moved up to the top of the bucket. Should we just wait for the drill mixing attachment (we only have 3 weeks left before we leave for the winter, so time is an issue and we have to do the deck in 2 stages - 2 coats on one side, let dry 48-72 hours, move all furniture to newly stained side, then do the other side, then let that dry 48-72 hours, then move all the furniture back where we secure it for the winter.). Thank you.

I purchased & just recieved your Armstrong Clark Cedar Semi-transparant stain for my new pine dock which I aged for 3 for months. Problem is FL is in the rainey season. Rains almost everyday, unpredictable, mornings, afternoons, & nights. Using weather radar can only count on a few hour window of drying time. Should I wait until Oct, as FL rainey season ends around then or is a few hours of drying time enough?

I have mahogany decking floor in a 4 season covered sunroom. What should I use to protect the wood as we do have a door leading to the outside. I don’t want to use anything that might cause the floor to be slippy once applied.

Hello - Our deck is concrete but our railing and roof supports are wood. The wood has darkened over the years in spite of using only transparent stain. We'd prefer to have the external wood close to the same tone as our inside, untreated wood. Is there any way to do that? Thank you!!

A few days ago I cleaned, brightened and put down a maintenance coat of TWP on my deck. I have a couple of spots where it is still tacky. Will it eventually dry out or do I need to fix it? Weather has been cool but headed to 90 tomorrow.

I have a deck that I prepped using your 2-step cleaner & brighter. Unfortunately, that was several weeks ago. It has rained quite a bit since then, and I’ve been waiting for it to dry out. The deck faces north. Will I still be able to apply the Woodrich stain once it is dry enough?

I just bought a cedar shake house (1800sqft) it was built in ‘93 and has been “resealed” once since then. It could use it again. I live in a rainforest in Alaska if that matters. Any suggestions on what I should use?

I am planning on pressure washing then re-sealing the shake. I will also be adding kick out flashing to the lower roof.

Our 1000 sq ft treated lumber deck is about 3.5 yrs old, though 100 sq ft is about 30 yrs old. We last treated it with Pittsburgh Ultra Advanced Acrylic-oil clear sealer 2 yrs ago. The deck surface is in pretty good shape, though mildew is growing on the shaded, exposed areas. What would you recommend for 1) cleaning the deck, killing the mildew and 2) re-treating the deck? Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for a Black Semi Transparent Stain with good reviews. I've used TWP in the past and been happy with it but they don't appear to have black. Ill be using it on new T1-11 barn doors and want the grain to show but no wood tone (the look of Shou Sugi Ban)! Any suggestions?

What products are best for composite deck cleaning and sealing?

Do you have any product (pre-stain/stain) for wood(interior) stair treads (Red Oak) that I can use.
Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Is there any difference in performance between TWP 100 and 1500 stains? I have a south facing fence.

What is the difference between TWP 100 and 1500? I am in Virginia if that matters. Thanks.
