IPE Decks


We just tried Ben Moore new Hardwood Stain on a 3000 sq ft deck.

Not to impressed with it, but then again have not found anything we like on Mahogany decking...............

Top pic is drying, bottom pic its being applied by brush. Customer speced it out no spraying she had bad experince with last so called painters.

Re: IPE Decks


Looks great guys, Think I haven't tried BM's HW stuff either all tho I never like any of there Deck stains, here in Chicago I use penofin on the few hardwood i come across. As for my regular decks I use Sikkens but I know that Ken wouldn't steer any one wrong with the products he uses. If he was in my area I would do decks I would just hand them over to him

Hey Nick, here is a pic I received from a Jersey contractor that uses the WoodZotic.
