cumaru/ ipe deck

brodyjaws
14 years ago

Hi

Last summer i installed a cumaru deck. I finished with the blue label Penofin. It took only a month to gray out. I have been told that the blue label was the wrong choice. I want to refinish this now. Can I simply powerwash and then apply the messners that i bought. Do i need to sand? use a cleaner? Will the oil hold the "wet look" my wife is expecting.

any help will be great!
