Armstrong Mahogany, Amber, and Black Walnut Colors
The key to a good wood stain is one that will protect, last long, and reduce the frequency of maintenance recoats. When it comes to IPE and other exotic hardwoods, maintenance can be more frequent than on more typical wood species. This is due to the dense nature of the hardwood. It can be tricky to get a stain to penetrate the wood and once it does, it does not want to hold for more than a year or so. This is really just the nature of exotic hardwood.
The other factor in dealing with hardwood stains, is applying one that will enhance the natural beauty of the wood. Covering up such a gorgeous species would be a shame. To get both excellent protection and an enhanced appearance, Armstrong Clark Hardwood Stain is a popular choice.
Armstrong Hardwoods comes in two semi-transparent colors that enrich the look of exotic hardwoods, Mahogany, Black Walnut, and Amber. Whether you like the richer look of the Armstrong Mahogany, the darker Black Walnut, or the lighter natural look of Armstrong Amber, you will find it outperforms all other brands of exotic wood stains.
Armstrong Mahogany, Amber, and Black Walnut colors offer a long lasting finish like no other stain. This deep penetrating stain provides superb defense against weathering with less chance of wear. The heavily bodied oils of the Mahogany or Amber colors are specially formulated for IPE and other exotic hardwoods. They provide an oil finish that repels water, moisture, and UV rays to retain their color longer.
Armstrong Mahogany, Amber, and Black Walnut colors are best used on IPE, Mahogany, Cumaru, Tigerwood, and all other Brazilian Exotic Hardwoods. It is important to note that the exact color results can vary depending on wood condition, wood age, and application. To see how either color will look on your exotic wood surface try ordering a color sample. This will give you an exact color result so you can better choose Armstrong Mahogany or Amber colors.
Note: Colors will vary widely depending on wood species.

it will not look the same on Cedar wood. It will be more of an orange/red as cedar is a much lighter wood.
We sell direct from our website to Canada and USA.
Look at the Amber color for this.
There is no difference in products, just colors designed for exotic Hardwoods. Amber and Mahogany.
It is normal for it to cure to a lighter color. I would leave it alone and apply a light coat to it in the Spring.
The color was gorgeous upon application however it seems to be fading quickly. I applied with a China white bristle brush and followed with rag to stop puddling in spots) The deck dried for approximately 60 hours before rain hit it.
I question if I applied enough stain (should not have wiped excess with cloth) or perhaps the rain impacted it?
Have pics before and after. Any advice is appreciated.
Use mineral spirits on the paint wood. Not sure if it will come out of the Azek. As for the deck, hopefully it dries evenly after a few days and the dark marks disappear. If not, there is not an easy fix. You may need to strip and start over.
Yes and yes.

The Amber does not cover the wood grain but enhances.
