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

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)

Woodrich Wood Decking Stripper

I have a pressure treated deck that was several years old and it was starting to look drab due to the years of weathering it had. I did not want to replace the deck but thought I would like to attempt to strip it and re coat it to help make it look as new as possible. I was searching around the Internet and came across a product from Woodrich called EFC-38 which apparently works on all types of wood species such as pressure treated, cedar and even exotic hardwoods like Ipe, Cumaru and Tigerwood. This product is granular and you mix it in a 5 gallon pale of water and then you can apply with a power washer on low pressure and then spray it on and leave it for a few minutes and then spray it off. I was unsure how this product would work for my weathered deck that had never been cleaned so I also purchased the HD-80 which is a heavy duty stripper. I was advised to purchase along with this product the brightener which is to be applied after your stripper is used. This product is called Citralic ,Citralic is pH balanced to make the ideal neutralizer for HD-80 and other caustic strippers. I was very happy with the results I achieved with these products and would suggest you visit www.myocstore.com for further information.
