Label

Ipe Oil® and Ipe Oil® Plus™ Hardwood Deck Finishes are an oil-based natural wood finish specifically designed for use on exterior hardwood decks. Each Hardwood Deck Finish provides excellent penetration of even the densest hardwoods with minimal raising of the grain. It protects and conditions the wood while maintaining a completely natural appearance. These Hardwood Deck Finishes may be used on exterior hardwood to enhance the wood’s natural beauty with exceptional results on Ipe, Tigerwood, Cumaru and other exotic hardwoods including thermally modified woods.

Application Directions - Step by step instructions for a beautiful hardwood deck

STEP 1 - PREP: Make sure surface is clean, dry & in good condition. Clean the deck surface thoroughly to make sure it is totally free of debris or foreign residue of any kind. Also, remove previous stain or paint completely before applying Ipe Oil® or Ipe Oil® Plus™ Hardwood Deck Finish. Apply when temperatures are between 40-95ºF, and surface is not hot to the touch. Do not thin.

STEP 2 - MIX: Stir well initially and during use. Intermix all containers of the same color to ensure uniform appearance. Cover plants, grass and concrete to protect from spills.

STEP 3 - TEST: Apply to a small test area of Ipe Oil® Hardwood Deck Finish to ensure complete penetration and color satisfaction before proceeding with the entire project.

STEP 4 - EQUIP:

  • Recommended Method: Roll on decking with a ⅜” nap paint roller
  • Alternative Methods: Apply with a lint-free cotton rag, quality brush, or pad

STEP 5 - APPLY: Apply a uniform, even coat. Oil the full length of the boards, keeping a wet edge. One coat is sufficient for most applications. Let oil soak for 30-45 minutes (maybe shorter) depending on weather variables such as direct sun. Thoroughly wipe down all boards with a rag. All excess should be removed to prevent tackiness and a surface sheen.

STEP 6 - CLEAN Immediately clean application equipment with mineral spirits (paint thinner).

DO NOT leave rags balled up or application materials unattended; properly dispose of immediately. Lay rags flat to dry, out of the sun and heat.
