About this product
Penofin Blue Label is a penetrating oil finish formulated with Brazilian Rosewood Oil to protect wood fibers from deep within rather than forming a surface film. It is engineered to prevent the silvering and drying caused by UV exposure, making it a professional-grade choice for maintaining high-density wood installations. This five-gallon volume is specifically sized for large-scale residential decks, boardwalks, and commercial siding projects.

Pro tips for dense hardwoods
- When applying to dense hardwoods like Ipe, you must wipe the surface completely dry with a lint-free cloth 20 to 30 minutes after application to prevent a sticky, tacky finish.
- Do not over-apply; dense tropical species cannot absorb as much oil as softwoods, and excess product left on the surface will not cure properly.
- Always use a wood cleaner or brightener prior to application, even on new hardwood, to remove mill glaze and open the wood pores for maximum oil absorption.
- Avoid application in direct, hot sunlight, as the oil may dry on the surface before it has a chance to penetrate the dense hardwood grain.

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.
