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

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.

Works great on Ipe.

It spreads easily and cleans up easily

The coverage of the plus product is not as good as the old version. I ran short and luckily still had leftover old product. You can see the old product brings out the red in the wood and has better coverage. Yes, the smell of the old stuff is harsher than the new low VOC product. Next year, I’ll look for the old product over the new. In the picture, the top portion is the old and the bottom is the new product, both applied on the same day.

This is all I use on my deck

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.

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.

Very expensive and I liked the look of the helmsman's spar urethane better.
