Key Features of Armstrong Clark Hardwood Stain:

    I currently have cedar tone on my decking (just deck boards). Can I put a clear stain on top after the usual prep? I like the current appearance and was wondering if switching to clear would be the best way to keep the finish appearance stable as opposed to appling more cedar tone. Fwiw - I put the initial cedar tone stain on last September, so it's ready for it's one year birthday recoat (of something).

      Armstrong does not come in a clear. Best to stick with the Cedar Tone.

    I'm about to install new 5/4 ipe on a 350 sq. ft deck in southern California. I did sample tests on the new wood with the amber and the black walnut and have decided to use the black walnut.

    1. I've been told that the underside and sides of the ipe should be stained before attaching the wood to the joists. Is there any issue with not waiting the 3-4 months?

    2. If the stain gets on the top surface while applying it to the other three sides, will that cause any future discoloration?

    3. What is the downside of staining all four sides during and shortly after the installation process?

      Armstrong · 08/02/2019
      1. No reason or advantage to staining the undersides or sides, just the exposed wood after install, weather, and prep.
      2. Yes, if you did stain them but once again, no reason.
      3. It will not soak in very well and could prematurely fail.

    I just purchased a bunch of tigerwood deck tiles. Can I use the ipe stain on these tiles? And how long after installation can I apply?

    I applied a good solid one coat of the Black Walnut on IPE this weekend? How often will I have to restain on IPE with that color? South facing deck, lots of sun!

      Annually is best. Clean before reapplying.

    Why does it say on the back of the can that you are only suppose to use amber or mahogany colors on IPE decks? I used black walnut and it looks great so far. Just did it this weekend!

      Black Walnut is a newer IPE/hardwood color. The can has not been updated yet to include it.

    Our new deck, built last summer, has a custom balustrade made from IPE. The contractor told me he would oil the balustrade to make it look dark. Instead, it looks very red, a color I don't want.

    Would your hardwood IPE stain in black walnut darken it?

    When the balustrades were built last summer, the contractor applied a clear IPE oil.

    Thank you for your consideration.

    I applied this Mahogany stain to my deck, which is Brazilian Hardwood, in the summer of 2017. I'm preparing to do it again in a couple of months and was wondering if the deck needs to be cleaned and brightened before reapplying the stain or if I can just clean with a deck cleaner or power wash before reapplying since the stain is already applied, just faded.

    I just power washed the deck (Brazilian hardwood) How long do I need to let the deck dry before applying the stain. It's currently 85 degrees and the deck is in the sun.
    Thanks for your help.

    Just double checking but did you say it's ok to apply A.C. stain to Ipe 4 hours before rain? My deck is stripped and brightened and ready to go but would hate to get water spots on my wood

      With IPE, you would be better off with 12-24 hours before rain comes.

        Thanks, from the forecast it may be over a week before there are two days without rain. If it's that long or longer should I hit the deck one more time with brightener?

          You should be fine as long as you stain within 2 weeks of prep.

    i stained a cumaru deck 2 years ago with mohagany. The stain looks very uneven... perhaps it needed a 2nd coat. I want to restain and am thinking of using walnut. any issues if i just use cleaner/powerwash?

    Just bought tiger wood to cover an outdoor cabinet. The retailer sold us Deckwise Ope oil. What are the main differences between the Ipe oil and the AC products? I am leaning towards using the black walnut. Also they said to allow the wood to season for 7 days before install then apply oil. Just checking to see if was given good guidance since the wood is quite expensive.
    THANKS

      AC will have longer UV protection. The Black Walnut is a very rich beautiful color. You will need a few months to let the wood weather and a proper clean and brighten of the wood for prep. They gave you incorrect advice.

    Bought a house w/ipe covered porch installed 3 years ago. Never been sealed or stained as far as I can tell. Has weathered gray. Planning to use RAD. Should I go darker (black walnut?) given it is already gray? Thanks in advance!

    The gray will come off with the RAD and light pressure washing. You can use any color after.

    Hi,

    Our deck has been stained with the Amber deck stain. I'm assuming ipe but I don't see this on the can anywhere. The deck has a ton of dirt accumulated on it in just 1 year. It seems that the stain collects the dirt. I would like to recoat the deck this year but I would like to get your opinion on how to clean it before doing so? Would a standard deck cleaner work without causing any issues to the existing coat on the deck? I would like to place an order within the next couple of days.

    Since it is IPE and has to be done every year, it is best to use a deck cleaner like the Restore A Deck Kit for the prep. It does not matter if the current coating is removed and is encouraged when reapply to IPE wood.

    Would this be the proper stain to coat new tongue and groove 1x4" covered front porch, would you recommend coating all sides before installation?
    The product we have is Blue Star 100% certified Malaysian Hardwood tongue and groove 1x4" x8' boards, we are replacing existing mahogany tongue and groove floor on the porch

    Just the exposed wood needs to be stained. Install, wait a month, prep with the Restore A deck Kit, and apply one coat only.
