What product should I use to finish my Cumaru decking?
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
