I'm slowly coming along with my understanding of my options for finishing our new Ipe wrap around porch.

TWP 100 is not available.

so based on reading and reading previous posts, it seems best alternatives are the TWP Storm Shield (though it "sets up fast"...what in the world does that mean? also, not as many colors), the TWP 1500 (as good as the 100?) or the Woodrich Hardwood Wiping Stain.

Of these options, what would you reco?

and unless we go with the 1500, what would your suggestion be for color options - my husband was hoping for the TWP 103 (dark oak). the storm shield color options are much more limited. and I'd appreciate any perspective on how colors of the Woodrich stain shows.

Many thanks.
