| We recently helped out a local customer who needed his
Brazilian Ipe deck oiled. I was along with a camera so we
can share with you how easy it is to start your deck on the proper way
to a long and beautiful life. |
Overview
The project was to apply Penofin ® Deck Oil Finisher to a new home in Atlanta. This home has two large
porches. The customer installed our Conventional Ipe 1x6 decking on
both the upper and lower porches. The total size is approximately
1000 square feet. The total time for 4 men was
approximately 2 hours. Part of this time was moving construction
materials so we could work on the deck. |

How To
- We used the 5 Gallon bucket to hold our Penofin ® deck oil
- The blue broom was used as a applicator to insure our Penofin ®
was distributed deep between on the sides of the deck boards
- The second blue broom was wrapped with a tee-shirt to become a
second applicator and to smooth out any excess Penofin ®
- SHAKE WELL BEFORE USING. DO NOT add thinning or blending agents.
Apply Penofin to a clean, dry surface.
- Surface must be free of dirt and sawdust build-up. Do not apply in
direct, HOT sunlight (when wood is hot to the touch).

Dramatic Difference
- You can see here how your deck will have the colors you expect
from Ipe or any decking by the application of the UV Finishing deck
oils.

Note: It is the responsibility of
you the owner or installer to adequately test pressure washing, cleaning
or finishing for product suitability and application method for your
particular installation. The above are techniques that have worked for
others in the past and we want to share information that we hear for the
benefit of others. However, you need to test and insure that any of
these ideas will work in your specific application. |
