TWP Oil Base Stain
Product Description:TWP® is a unique combination of chemicals, preserving and enhancing the natural warmth, beauty, and integrity of new and old wood. TWP® products penetrate deeply into the wood without excessive surface film build-up, highlighting existing grain patterns with amazing clarity and warmth. TWP® is specifically designed to provide protection against the four major causes of wood degradation; wood rot, water, sunlight and mildew. TWP® reduces water absorption, the major cause of wood cracking and veneer siding delamination. TWP® stops wood rot that destroys wood internally, causing structural failure that may require wood replacement. TWP® has a life expectancy of three to five years (on vertical substrates) with proper preparation of substrate, proper application and two coats. Life expectancy is longer on two year old wood. TWP® is available in V.O.C. Compliant form which meets current California Solvent Emission Regulations. TWP® is extremely lightfast, containing ultraviolet light absorbers* maintaining the natural color, while surface mildewcides eliminate premature unsightly gray and black discoloration. Accelerated and natural weathering tests show superior performance compared to conventional clear and semi transparent wood finishes. Many stains on the market are surface oriented and subject to peeling, blistering and chipping.
PRODUCT USES:
TWP is perfect for old and new decks, spas, exterior furniture, tree houses/swing sets, hardwood decking, teak & mahogany, wooden doors, wood siding, log homes, porch decking, fences and shutters.
TWP® 100 COLOR SELECTION:
•TWP 100 - CLEAR *
•TWP 101 - CEDARTONE
•TWP 102 - REDWOOD
•TWP 103 - DARK OAK
*NOTE: 100 Clear is available as a sealer or blending base only to be followed by a tinted topcoat.
SURFACE PREPARATION:
NEW WOOD: All new wood must be thoroughly saturated and exposed to either rain or water; three or more times to open the wood grain and remove excess surface tannins. Allow a minimum of 48 hours of good drying conditions before applying TWP® 100.
OLD WOOD: Rinse surface with 3:1 mix of water and household bleach to remove mildew; use wood bleach to brighten wood and follow with 1500 p.s.i. power washer to remove dead surface fiber. Allow a minimum of 48 hours of good drying conditions before applying TWP® 100.
PRESSURE TREATED WOOD: Allow at lest 1 month of age before treating with TWP® 100.
PREVIOUSLY STAINED WOOD: Remove all of the old finish with power washing or paint stripper when necessary. Failure to remove the existing finish will result in a blotchy TWP® 100 applications due to uneven penetration and discoloration of aged finish.
METHOD OF APPLICATION: MIX THOROUGHLY BEFORE USING TWP 100! Apply with brush, roll, spray, and wiping cloth or applicator pad. Do not apply below 40° F, if rain is anticipated with 48 hours or heavy dew is present.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
TWP® 100 should be applied at 100-400 sq.ft/gal. with brush, roll or spray. Rate will vary depending on wood porosity. Remove excess or puddled material that has not penetrated after 15 minutes with a paint pad or dry roller. Recoat over porous wood may be done as a wet on wet application. Allow to dry to touch overnight. Walking on TWP 100 before it is dry will cause tracking.
Because horizontal surfaces are subject to harsher conditions (foot traffic, standing water, deck furniture, spills, etc.) than vertical surfaces, they may require more frequent maintenance coats.
DRY TIME: 24-72 hours depending on drying conditions. Drying conditions will vary greatly depending on applied film thickness and weather conditions.
THINNING AND CLEANUP:
No thinning required of TWP® 100. Use mineral spirits for equipment clean up.
Rag Disposal- Lay used rags in a single layer outdoors and allow to air dry for 24 hours. To minimize the chance of spontaneous combustion typical of natural drying oils, place rags in water filled metal container for disposal.
WARNING:
This product is toxic to fish. Do not contaminate water by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.
