About this product

TWP 100 Series is a professional-grade, oil-based wood preservative designed to penetrate deep into wood fibers to protect against moisture, UV damage, and decay. It functions as an EPA-registered fungicide to prevent mold and mildew growth while enhancing the natural grain of the wood. This stain is specifically formulated to provide a breathable finish that prevents wood rot and minimizes the silvering effect caused by sun exposure.

EPA-registered wood preservative that actively prevents wood rot and structural decay.
Unique paraffinic oil formulation provides superior water repellency and moisture regulation.
Contains high-grade UV-blocking pigments to preserve the natural color of premium hardwoods.
Semi-transparent finish highlights wood grain without forming a film that can peel or flake.
High-solids content ensures long-term protection for exterior wood surfaces.

Best used for

  • 1Protecting Ipe and Cumaru decking in high-UV environments to prevent the timber from turning silver-gray.
  • 2Preserving the distinct high-contrast grain patterns of Tigerwood siding and rainscreen systems.
  • 3Providing a moisture-resistant barrier for Garapa or Massaranduba boardwalks and poolside docks.
  • 4Maintaining the rich reddish-brown tones of Red Balau fencing and outdoor architectural structures.

Pro tips for dense hardwoods

  • Because tropical hardwoods like Ipe are extremely dense, apply only as much stain as the wood can absorb. Always wipe off any excess oil remaining on the surface after 15-20 minutes to prevent a tacky, non-drying film.
  • New hardwood should typically be allowed to weather for 3-6 months or be lightly sanded with 60-80 grit sandpaper to open the grain pores before application to ensure maximum penetration.
  • Apply using a 'wet-on-wet' technique; if the wood absorbs the first coat quickly, apply a second coat immediately before the first has dried, provided the wood can still accept it.
  • Perform a splash test before application: if water beads on the surface, the wood is not ready to be stained; if water absorbs, the wood is ready for TWP 100.

How to Finish Exotic Hardwood Decking

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.
