DeckWise Ipe Oil Plus Hardwood Deck Semi-Transparent 250 V.O.C .Natural Finish (1-Gallon)

Purchased this for our IPE Patio I used the Cleaner and Brightener first then used this Stain. Our Patio looks brand new, absolutely amazing. This is a must if you want to protect your IPE wood Patio. Even the part of the Patio not covered is renewed love this stain.Fast delivery and well packaged.

Works great on Ipe.

The dock is located in East Tennessee and exposed to lots of strong sun and rain. The beautiful stain color will stay for 3-5 months in the most sun exposed locations. Then the wood transitions to gray.The oil is easy to apply, I tend to use a brush to help get between the boards better.The stain goes about the 200-300 square foot per can, in heavily weathered areas.I also wear a respirator. The VOCs are strong and prefer to not breath them in. Try to avoid getting it on your hand too (I wear long rubber gloves). The oil is very difficult to get off your skin and will retain a smell for a day or two. Best to just not get it on you.

I used six gallons on my deck and bought 8 more gallons. Ipe was thirsty. Let’s see if it works at preserving Ironwood better than not using any for 15 years.

Here’s the skinny. 5 year old Cumaru wood table. Located in south Florida, exposed to hellish sun and ball soaking humidity all year. Did I mention biblical daily downpours when were not in an Africa like dry season? So you get the picture. Florida id tough on outdoor furniture of any kind.Step 1, sanded the table with 80 grain paper to remove the top oxidized layer of wood. When complete sanded it all again with 120 grain to keep it smooth.Step 2. Applied Ipe oil with a paint brush. Applied liberally, slathered it on.Step 3 let it sit for 20 minutes and soak in, then take a rag and wipe off the excess.Lastly, reapplied an hour later, let it soak in again and wiped excess.Please with how it looks. Curious to see how long the waterproof properties last.

We have a cumaru deck. It gets dirty and every few years needs to be cleaned and resealed. This product is specifically blended for Brazilian hardwood. Leaves a lustrous and waterproof finish.

The media could not be loaded. Product was great, I put a little too much on and it was a little tacky. I did not use a sealer afterwards. Tacky spots have faded and I’m impressed. I’ll know better for next time. Dog seems to love it too.

Used this after the cleanser and our Camaru deck looks wonderful. The color is restored. Tip. Use more cleaner than you think you need and for longer.
