I’am building furniture using Ipe wood and have questions regarding Cutek Green.

Cutek Green Wood Preservative

Comments: Hello, I am actually constructing many furnitures using Ipe wood from both interior wooden floor and outdoor post that have started cracking (future legs). Those furniture will be used inside (coffee table, table, tv stand and so forth). I wish to know which kind of product would you suggest me. Here are my concerns : 1- I would like to get a produced that would prevent the wood from turning gray. 2- I wish also the wood to look as natural as possible 3- I wish to be as green as possible (minimal VOC and stuff like it) 4- Get the best wood protection possible. 5- Based on the product you will suggest me, wish product will affect the dryed up finish (water, alcool, heat, .) Thanks a lot! Sébastien

Hi Sebastien, thanks for the information. I would strongly suggest using the Cutek Green product as this would work very well for a wood preservative and uv protection. We are the Canadian Distributor and we sell 1 gallon container for $119.50 + shipping.  Please visit the website and this will give you lots of information. It was developed by Chemisys Group in Australia.

After Using Cutrek Green Customer Replys……….

Hello Robert,
 
I have three technical questions regarding Cutek green.
 
First I must say that I am very impressed the way this products works.
 
1-       Would you suggest complete sanding before application, do I need to sand between application, is it recommended… (my wood is IPE)
2-       This product seems to get in so well within hardwood that I am planning trying it in guitar.
3-       To be frank before I put this wood preservative in a piece of work that would have taken me 150 hours, I wish to know :
a.       if this product increase the density of the wood,
b.       is the wood gonna become harder.
c.       does this product replace water, or simply seals it within the wood.

Hi Sebastien, glad you like the product. I have answered your questions below and if you would like to call me to discuss that would be fine.

1-       Would you suggest complete sanding before application, do I need to sand between application, is it recommended… (my wood is IPE)
No need to sand before application or between.
2-       This product seems to get in so well within hardwood that I am planning trying it in guitar.
Cutek Green can be used for any wood application
3-       To be frank before I put this wood preservative in a piece of work that would have taken me 150 hours, I wish to know :
a.       if this product increase the density of the wood,
Like any moisture bearing product it will increase the weight at initial application of the product but as product dries it should return to normal weight but no tests to verify this have been performed to date.
b.       is the wood gonna become harder.
Cutek Green would not make the wood harder.
c.       does this product replace water, or simply seals it within the wood.
Cutek Green replaces water (it seeks out water born cells within the pc)

Cutek Green Wood Preservative for wood decking.

May 26th, 2011

Cutek Green Wood Restoration

I tried this product on a pc of Pressure Treated Spruce and within a matter of minutes it had soaked entirely through the entire pc of wood. I have used several other wood preservatives and have never seen anything like this product. This product will seek out the water filled cells within the pc of wood and migrate to the cells and drive the moisture out. It does make sense when you think about it. If you have little or no moisture within a pc of wood the less likely you would get rot, twist and warp of your deck boards. I also like the fact that this product acts not only as a wood preservative but also seals and beautifies your deck. The Cutek Green comes in clear 5L containers and there are 18 different colors that are contained within packets and you simply pick your color and pour and stir into the clear Cutek. This product was formulated by a company in Australia called Chemisys Group where for many years they have developed effective stains and sealers for Australian species of wood that are subject to the extreme temperature conditions in that country. They are now bringing their product to the North American marketplace so decking contractors and homeowners will have available to them this really great product.

Otter Creek is the Canadian distributor and product can be purchased through them by calling 1-800-981-3590 or visiting their online store at www.myocstore.com
