TWP® 100 SERIES - This is the most versatile product we have to offer. It can be applied at temperatures as low as 50 F, and it is compatible with all forms of log home chinking. It is solvent borne and contains about 30% solids. It penetrates the wood and is easy to maintain.

TWP® 100 has been through the rigors of long term exposure testing at Texas A&M's Forestry Service and was the only product of the 200 products tested there that demonstrated superior performance. Texas A&M's Forestry Service said "The TWP® finish lasts about 5 years and may be the best way of maintaining an attractive natural wood look". That's a bold statement for an independent testing lab to make. See the Deck and Fence section of this site for the full letter.

Coverage - Approximately 200 square feet per gallon. If a second coat is desired, it must be applied while the first coat is still wet. Wood Care Systems does not recommend a second coat on decks but a second coat is best on vertical applications like siding and logs. Two coats are recommended one immediately after the other. If you can't do two coats wet on wet, then wait a year and apply the second coat. If two coats are applied to a deck more that an hour apart, the second coat will probably sit on top of the first coat building a film that can peel in time. Applying the second coat while the first coat is still wet provides additional penetration and protection for a few more months, but is not absolutely necessary.

New Wood: Smooth, mill planed wood should be pre-treated with TWP® New Wood Surface Conditioner when natural weathering (to open wood grain) is not practical. Rough sawn surfaces must complete two cycles of water soaking and thorough drying. Before finish application. Kiln dried pressure treated wood may be pre-treated with "TWP® Wood Surface Conditioner" and finish coated with TWP® after 48 hour dry time. All surfaces must be dry before applying TWP® finishes. Wet, or freshly pressure treated wood should be allowed 12 months natural weathering before finish coat application.

OLD WOOD: Unprotected old wood is typically various shades of gray to black. This is due to mildew and ultraviolet light attack on the wood surface. Remove mildew and dirt with TWP® Wood surface cleaner as per directions. For severe discoloration, rinse with a 1500 psi power washer for best results.

PREVIOUSLY STAINED WOOD: TWP® is designed for application on clean wood surfaces. Applying this product over a sealed surface will result in a glossy film. TWP® will function best if old finish is removed.

SPREAD RATE: Apply at 100 - 300 square feet per gallon. Rate will vary depending on wood porosity. First coat should be a saturation coat. A second coat if desired must be applied immediately after the first coat, in a wet on wet application.

METHOD OF APPLICATION: Use brush, roll or spray. Do not apply below 32 degrees.

CLEANUP:
Use mineral spirits for equipment. MIX THOROUGHLY BEFORE USING. TINTS AND FUNGICIDES TEND TO SETTLE TO THE BOTTOM SO RE-MIX EVERY HOUR OR SO DURING APPLICATION.
