Pro tips for dense hardwoods
- Because tropical hardwoods like Ipe are extremely dense, you must wipe off all excess oil within 20 to 30 minutes of application to prevent a sticky, tacky surface.
- Avoid applying in direct sunlight or when the wood surface is hot to the touch, as this can cause the oil to flash-dry before it can penetrate the tight grain.
- Clean the hardwood surface with a high-quality wood cleaner and brightener before application to open the wood's pores and ensure maximum oil uptake.
- Maintain horizontal deck surfaces every 6 to 12 months with a light cleaning and a fresh coat to keep the wood from turning silver.

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.
