Pro tips for dense hardwoods
- Ensure wood moisture content is 12% or lower using a moisture meter before application, as the oil will not penetrate wet wood fibers.
- On ultra-dense hardwoods like Ipe, apply a light coat and check for absorption; wipe off any excess oil that hasn't penetrated after 15 minutes to prevent a tacky surface.
- Do not over-sand smooth-milled hardwoods; use a wood brightener or a maximum of 60-80 grit sandpaper to ensure the pores remain open for oil penetration.
- Avoid applying over existing film-forming stains or paints; the wood must be bare or previously treated only with penetrating oils.

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.
