Enhance the beauty of your hardwood deck and protect it from damaging sun UV, harsh water, toxic mold and mildew at the same time. It is specifically formulated to protect as well as preserve the natural beauty of exterior hardwood decks. This finish is not just for use on deck boards; it penetrates into the densest hardwood fences and wood railings as well. Ipe Oil is easy-to-use with three simple steps: 1. Clean and Brighten the deck surface and let dry 2. Apply Ipe Oil Hardwood deck finish 3. Wipe any excess Ipe Oil Review: After trying many products, this is the best for our ipe decking. Looks great for 12 months, and then good for another 12 months - We have several decks made of Ipe, as well as hand railings. We have experimented with a variety of products, and have found that this is the best stain. For the hand rails, we use Sikkens Marine Varnish, which seems to be the only thing that holds up 2-3 years, but that's too slick to use on decks and we have resigned ourselves to pressure washing and reapplying this product to the decks once a year. At the end of 12 months, the deck still looks decent, just faded.. a quick power wash and another application of this product, applied with a stain sponge, works great and makes them look great for another year. Highly recommended. Hope this helps. Review: What a finish! - My IPE deck looks brand new. The prep work was the hardest part - the stain goes on quick and easy and wipes right up. Dries well. And now the parts of the deck that are exposed to the harshest sun look as good as the parts near the house that are under cover. They say you don't have to maintain IPE wood and maybe that is true structurally but this made a huge difference in appearance and I'm glad I took the effort. ## Features - Oil-based natural wood finish - Formulated to protect and preserve the natural beauty of exterior hardwood decks, UV barrier protection - Provides excellent penetration of even the densest of woods - Suitable for Ipe, Tigerwood, Cumaru and other exotic hardwoods - Note: Not available for sale in California SCAQMD Jurisdiction, LA-Eastern, LA-Western, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008ZUQMHC | | Base Material | Oil | | Best Sellers Rank | #19,490 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #50 in Household Stains | | Brand Name | DeckWise | | Coating Description | Oil-based | | Color | Brown | | Compatible Material | Wood | | Container Type | Can | | Coverage | covers up to 200 sq. ft. per gallon | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (672) | | Finish Types | Oil-based | | Liquid Volume | 1 Gallons | | Manufacturer | DeckWise | | Material Type | Oil Based | | Model Name | DW020999 | | Model Number | DW020999 | | Opacity | Semi-Transparent | | Paint Type | Oil | | Recommended Uses For Product | exterior | | Size | 2 gallons | | Surface Recommendation | Decks, Fence, Railings | | UPC | 812637020999 | | Unit Count | 256 Fluid Ounces | | Warranty Type | Limited | ## Product Details - **Brand:** DeckWise - **Color:** Brown - **Material:** Oil Based - **Model Name:** DW020999 - **Surface Recommendation:** Decks, Fence, Railings ## Images ![DeckWise Ipe Oil Hardwood Deck Semi-Transparent 250 VOC Natural Finish (Pack of 2, 1-Gallon Each) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713Qa+M-E3L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Item Package Quantity** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How many square foot the gallon cover?** A: I had an older ipe deck ~ 16 X 46 ft or ~ 740sq ft. maybe a little more porousthan new after stripping older finish. 3 gallons just did it with some areas stillnot fully penetrated. I have a fourth gallon for touch up which seems quite easy.I'm very satisfied with the rich color and grain exposure, very nice and went on easily with a roller and brush touch up. Best ipe finish I've tiried. May use it on someteak on my sail boat. **Q: Can this be applied over Thompsons Water seal?** A: I'm not sure what type of wood you have, but I'm going to assume you have Ipe which is dense and doesn't penetrate well to begin with. I would not recommend applying the Ipe oil over Thompsons Water Seal. It's likely to just sit on top of the water seal and not be able to penetrate the wood. If the oil doesn't soak into the wood, it won't dry. When the oil stays wet too long it gets sticky and dust sticks on the surface. You end up with a big mess. To give you an example, we have an area on our deck that is under a large overhang. It doesn't get much sun and therefore doesn't need to be re-oiled as frequently. Our painter power washed this area and let it dry. Then put another coat of the Ipe oil over an existing coat of Ipe oil. It took months for the oil to dry and because of the wind and all that naturally blows around outside, many particles stuck to the oil and it ended up looking dirty and filmy. **Q: What's the difference between the 100 and 250 VOC formula?** A: VOC is for "volatile organic compounds", which is a measure of how much solvent/toxin is released into the air as it dries. The maximum allowed in flat/latex is 250 g per liter, and for other paints, the federal cap is 380 g/l. The lower the VOC number, the better for your health. A con of using lower VOC paints is that they may not be as long lasting or of lower quality than higher VOC paints. **Q: Can the ipe oil be used on eucalyptus furniture? if so, can it be applied over stain?** A: Eucalyptus wood works just fine with this oil. Cannot be used on wood previously varnished or Polyeurethaned. Should work absorbing into wood with weathered oil base stain-- we'd recommend a test area be done first to confirm uniformity. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ After trying many products, this is the best for our ipe decking.

The prep work was the hardest part - the stain goes on quick and easy and wipes right up. Dries well. And now the parts of the deck that are exposed to the harshest sun look as good as the parts near the house that are under cover. They say you don't have to maintain IPE wood and maybe that is true structurally but this made a huge difference in appearance and I'm glad I took the effort. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best product for finishing any deck. *by T***Y on October 12, 2016* I've used many products for finishing decks over the years. This is all I use now, even for cedar decks. It is a superior product that is applies really easy and has a beautiful finish that really soaks into the wood. As with any oil stains, the user must be extremely careful with the used stain rags. My deck almost went up in flames when the heaped up, used stain rags were not properly cared for on a 95 degree day. I strongly suggest laying out the used rags, no more than 1 layer thick, far far away from anything combustible until they are completely dry. Again, this applies to any oil stain, not just with this one. ## Frequently Bought Together - DeckWise Ipe Oil Hardwood Deck Semi-Transparent 250 VOC Natural Finish (Pack of 2, 1-Gallon Each) - Deck Brush Stain Applicator by Magimate - Thick Soft Large Paint Brush Head with Threads for Extension to Apply Stain and Sealers on Wood Deck Floor Fence Walls - 7 Inch Wide - Deck & Wood Cleaner + Brightener Removes Mold, Mildew, Stains, and Tannins, 32 oz.
