We tried your ipe oil and it worked very well. We put it on tiger wood and it penatrated very good. Vince
We had our ipe deck installed last October and had ipe oil applied. All the snow and ice this winter seems to have caused some spotting, dry patches & discoloration. We would like to oil again this spring but have read on other websites that because the wood doesn’t really absorb the oil, it is not a good idea to apply over an existing application of oil. How often should we apply the oil in order to keep the rich color orpatina of the wood (which is why we chose it), but not cause a build-up? Thanks so much
How did you apply the oil? Do you have to put it on every year?
Curt,
The application depends on where you live and how much sunlight the decking will see. You will want to apply the first coat once the deck is done and then again about 6-8 months later. After this it will be as needed which on average is every two years. If you live up north and your deck is covered with snow for 6 months of the year then you may only need to do this once every three years. If you live in an area like the Florida Keys, or a warm beach, you may need to re-finish every year.
The product that we suggest using is called Ipe Oil and can be applied using a 3/8” nap paint roller. Clean the deck surface and allow to dry, then apply the Ipe oil allow to dry for about 10 minutes and wipe any areas of the deck that appear to be pooling with a dry rag. This must be done on a day with no rain (24 hours) and temperatures in at least the 50’s.
Jo,
I would be more than happy to help you out with this. Before we go any further I do need to know why type of oil or finish was used on the surface of the decking. At your convenience please let me know. Thank you for your time.
