TWP 1500 Stain - Gallon
TWP 1500 Series is an EPA-registered wood preservative and semi-transparent oil-based stain that's VOC compliant in all 50 states. This advanced formula is designed to penetrate faster, dry quicker, and outperform the previous TWP 500 Series. It prevents structural damage and wood decay on exterior above-ground surfaces including untreated and previously treated decks, fences, siding, log homes, and roofing. Resists water absorption that leads to warping, cracking, splitting, and freeze damage. Special UV-absorbing pigments prevent graying, darkening, and fading, while selected mildewcides inhibit mold and mildew growth. Coverage: 100–300 sq. ft. per gallon per coat. Recommended: 2 coats wet-on-wet (1 coat for new wood under 12 months old). Available in 10 colors.

Why Choose Stains & Finishes?
How to Finish Exotic Hardwood Decking
Wait for Acclimation
Let freshly installed boards acclimate for 2-4 weeks before applying finish. This allows the wood to reach equilibrium moisture and the pores to open slightly for better oil penetration.
Clean and Brighten
Apply a wood cleaner/brightener to remove mill glaze, dirt, and oxidation. Rinse thoroughly and let the deck dry for 24-48 hours before oiling.
Apply Penetrating Oil
Brush or pad a generous coat of penetrating oil (like Ipe Oil® or UV Plus) along the grain. Let the oil soak in for 15-20 minutes, then wipe off any excess that hasn't been absorbed.
Seal All End Cuts
End grain absorbs and releases moisture 10-12× faster than face grain. Seal every cut end with end grain sealer within 24 hours of cutting to prevent checking and splitting.
Pro Tip from Our Deck Specialists
Dense hardwoods reject film-forming stains and polyurethanes — these will peel within months. Always use a penetrating oil formula designed for tropical species.
