Tigerwood Bench with Brown Sugar Formula Applied

Otter Creek is a leading distributor of decking accessories in Canada. It carries a product from Woodrich that Canadian homeowners and contractors can apply to their hardwood decking such as Ipe, Cumaru and Tigerwood. The product is called “Hardwood Wiping Stain” and the colors are suited towards the natural color pigments found in Ipe, Cumaru and Tigerwood.  The Ipe formula is called “Amaretto” and when applied it enhances the natural color of Ipe. The other formula they carry is called “Brown Sugar” and when applied to Cumru or Tigerwood it enhances the natural color tone of these two species.  The product is  carried in 1 gallon and 5 gallon sizes.  Two gallons will do 500sqft of deck surface, four gallons will do 500-1000sqt of deck surface and five gallons will do 1000sqft to 1500sqft of deck surface. This product will normally last tow years between coats depending on the consumers preference to final appearance. If you apply each year it will provide a better appearance than if applied every other year. What is nice about this product is it will not peel or flake. Otter Creek  performed numerous longevity tests of the product prior to bringing the product on.

What product should I use to finish my Cumaru decking?

April 21st, 2011

Woodrich Hardwood Finishing Kit. I used it on my Cumaru deck and I liked the results. If you buy the “kit” it provides you the cleaner, brightener and the finishing product and comes in packages to accommodate the sqft size of your deck. They have a 500 sqft and less package and a 500 sqft to 1000 sqft and 1000 sqft and over package. Most homeowners do not realize that their deck is dirty after supplier storage, transportation and construction of the deck and it needs to be cleaned and brightened before applying the finishing product. The cleaning and brightener product is granular and comes in 2lb and 10lb sizes. You simply mix the product in water and spray on and spray off. This gives the surface of your deck a new beginning and ready for the application of the Woodrich finishing product. This product is formulated to the natural color pigments of Cumaru (Brazilian Teak) and thus lasts longer as it takes longer for the UV light to break down the surface of the Cumaru. I also like the fact that it does not peel. I have tried numerous other products and I was always left with peeling issues.  The stain formula is called “Brown Sugar” and the product can be purchased at www.myocstore.com

What product should I use to finish my Tigerwood Decking?

April 19th, 2011

Tigerwood Decking

Tigerwood can be a difficult wood to finish. The natural characteristics of the wood do not allow finish product to take very well to the surface. I have discovereed a product called “Woodrich” and its color is formulated to the natural pigments of Tigerwood. The product is called “Hardwood Wiping Stain” and it comes in 1 gallon and 5 galllon sizes. I live in Canada and I put this on my Tigerwood decking and it worked very well. The product is a “one coat” application and all access must be wipped off as Tigerwood is very dense and any access product sitting on the top of the wood will simply dry and not penetrate the woods surface so its recommended that you back brush or wipe off any access product with a brush or rage. The product must be put on in temperatures above 60 degrees or 15 C. This product seems to last longer than other competing products and I have been told its because the stain is pigmented to the natural color of Tigerwood thus it takes longer for the UV light to break down the surface color. I re apply this product every other season and most preservatives have to be applied every year.

I purchased this product through www.myocstore.com and the company is located in Canada but they shipped me my order i

How to keep a hardwood deck like Ipe looking new.

February 12th, 2011

Brazilian Walnut or a wood that is commonly called Ipe is being used more and more often as the species of choice when it comes to putting down a new deck surface. Ipe originates out of South America and is very dense and durable. Life spans of 25 years can be achieved and if you want to keep your investment looking as new as possible I suggest you try the Woodrich Hardwood Finishing Kit for Ipe. Woodrich has spent extensive time developing a finish that is applied to the Ipe deck surface once you have finished your project which provides a desired rich look of the natural beauty of Ipe once applied. Homeowners across Canada and the United States have been very happy with the results. The product normally lasts two years before having to be re applied unlike most finishes that only last a year or less. The most common comment homeowners has stated to us is they do not get any peeling with this product. Ipe is very dense and it takes longer for the finish to penetrate the surface so product application is used sparingly.
