About this product
Messmer's UV Plus is a professional-grade penetrating oil finish designed to protect exterior wood from UV degradation, moisture, and fungal growth. It solves the problem of premature graying and wood checking by saturating the wood fibers with high-quality resins and trans-oxide pigments. This finish is ideal for contractors and homeowners looking to preserve the natural beauty and structural integrity of premium outdoor hardwood installations.

Pro tips for dense hardwoods
- For dense hardwoods like Ipe, apply a single thin coat and use a clean rag to wipe off all excess oil after 30 minutes to prevent a sticky, tacky surface.
- Never apply Messmer's UV Plus to wood that is wet or damp; the moisture content of the hardwood should be below 18% for proper penetration.
- Ensure the wood is cleaned with a wood cleaner and brightener prior to application to remove mill glaze and open the pores of the dense tropical fibers.
- Avoid applying in direct sunlight or on hot days, as the oil may dry too quickly on the surface before it can penetrate the wood.

Why Choose Stains & Finishes?
How to Finish Exotic Hardwood Decking
Wait for Acclimation
Let freshly installed boards acclimate for 2-4 weeks before applying finish. This allows the wood to reach equilibrium moisture and the pores to open slightly for better oil penetration.
Clean and Brighten
Apply a wood cleaner/brightener to remove mill glaze, dirt, and oxidation. Rinse thoroughly and let the deck dry for 24-48 hours before oiling.
Apply Penetrating Oil
Brush or pad a generous coat of penetrating oil (like Ipe Oil® or UV Plus) along the grain. Let the oil soak in for 15-20 minutes, then wipe off any excess that hasn't been absorbed.
Seal All End Cuts
End grain absorbs and releases moisture 10-12× faster than face grain. Seal every cut end with end grain sealer within 24 hours of cutting to prevent checking and splitting.
Pro Tip from Our Deck Specialists
Dense hardwoods reject film-forming stains and polyurethanes — these will peel within months. Always use a penetrating oil formula designed for tropical species.
