Pics of 4 yr old ipe deck with only one coat of stain - yuk!
Comments (4)Woodrich brightner ,oxalic base with a buffer, with what we call a scrub n rub I use a hand brush like you can buy at the supermarket put on some gloves splash the stuff on and scrub. This would be for the rail system and the skirting. Add the brightner to the water not the water to the brightner. Water wash it all off with a garden sprayer, All of it. Remember your not trying to remove the finish just the crud the wash effect will happen on contact even tho you wont see it. For the deck itself I use a 14'' floor machine with a scrub pad stuck on this goes very quickley. If you cant find one of those use a handled deck brush finish off the corners with the hand brush. Be tidie around the alum balusters thay are power coated but just be carefull. Sand with an orbital sander 60 grit pads where needed if the little sharp whiskers come up. The covered area will always be in different shape then the rest nothing to do about that. Woodrich was crafted from twp nither need stripping just another coat after cleaning I advise two coats using the sprit of a sound mind , that is waiting for the first one to set up, and another come late spring. after trying a test area first. And Dont Wait so long for a recoat!!!!!!!!!!! Ghesssssssss. J....See Morewhat to do with ipe deck??? Stain, treatment?
Comments (18)Master Deckers (Hyatt & PressurePro) - many moons (May 05)ago I asked about attaching ipe to metal. Your advice was sound and the deck is finally complete and rock solid. I've finished plugging, and plugging, and plugging the plethora of screw holes. I stained the railings and the pergola last year and they seemed to be holding very nice - although I will have to do the railings again. I've sheared the heads of the plugs and am ready to sand the deck (around 700 square feet on two tiers). The local hardware store rents a drum floor sander. Good to use? What grit? I've waited a year so now the wood has gone a little silver in the Texas sun. Should I keep sanding until I get down to natural color, or sand until smooth and use PressurePro's cleaning and brightening solution to bring back the beautiful ipe color? I did the railings and pergola in TWP 100 and plan to use this on the sanded deck. PressurePro - been to your website - looks good. Now that I've waited a year...See MoreBad deck restain job or old deck?
Comments (7)That looks pretty bad. What type of wood is that? Looks like it is a hardwood, possibly IPE. Did he do any prep prior to staining? Doesn't look like it. He should have stripped, cleaned, & then brighten prior to staining. The Woodrich stain website has some pretty good instructions & videos on how restoring a deck should be done. http://www.woodrich-brand.com/Woodrich_Brand_Deck_Cleaners_Sealers_and_Stains_s/37.htm Looks like it would need the HD-80 stripper/cleaner instead of the weaker EFC-38 light stripper/cleaner. Then use the Citralic brightener/neutralizer, then stain it. Woodrich makes a good stain for hardwoods, I like the Amaretto color. TWP116 rustic brown is also a very good stain....See MoreIpe deck - natural no stain. A viable option?
Comments (31)Our ipe has never been treated. The part in the sun has great color restore with just scrubbing or power washing. But the portion under our arbor (much less sun) stays gray when we power wash. Go figure. Everything I have read indicates it will not hold a stain more than one season. And the stain “washes off” when wet, and leaves streaks. (What happened when we first installed). I love it anyway and glad we do not have redwood. Has been in for at least 15 years and no problems....See Moredeckman22
