Watch how easy it is to apply DeckWise Ipe Oil in the video below.
For the best results using DeckWise Ipe Oil, utilize a high quality 3/8” nap roller, pad applicator or stain brush. When spraying, immediately backroll after each segment is covered for proper penetrative protection. To prevent overlap marks, begin at one edge and follow towards the end of the wooden boards. Apply Ipe Oil to small areas and keep 2-3 boards wet at all times. Always rub oil into the wood boards parallel to the grain of the wood. Completely wipe off any excess oil that does not soak in.
It is necessary to use 2 screws where the board crosses a joist to prevent deck board cupping, but some people prefer to use 3 screws. Rim joists may require 3 screws.
The coverage of DeckWise Ipe Oil may vary based on the condition of the wood. For example, smooth wood will require approximately 1 gallon of DeckWise Ipe Oil for 250-300 square feet of coverage. For application on rough wood surfaces, use approximately 1 gallon of DeckWise Ipe Oil to cover 150-250 square feet.
Yes, Ipe Oil is suitable for all exterior home furniture and wood surfaces. If you are applying Ipe Oil to outdoor furniture, it is best to hand apply the finish using a soft cloth. When you need to reapply the finish will depend on the sun exposure and traffic areas on the item. It is recommended that you typically reapply every Spring and Fall to ensure a luxurious finish.
DeckWise Ipe Oil is popular hardwood finish used by homeowners and contractors that adds years of life to decks or any other outdoor objects. Its clear, oil-based formula protects and preserves the beauty of exotic hardwoods, while also preventing damages that can result from harmful elements like UV rays, high temperatures, humidity, mildew, fungi, mold, rain, and snow.
The DeckWise Ipe Sealer is not for use on the top surface of the deck. It is only designed for sealing the end of the deck boards.
DeckWise Ipe Oil provides excellent penetration for even the densest hardwoods with minimal raising of the grain. It protects and conditions the wood while maintaining a completely natural appearance. DeckWise Ipe Oil is commonly used on hardwoods such as Ipe, Tigerwood, Cumaru, and other exotic hardwoods.
DeckWise WiseCoat is a premium hardwood deck, siding and fence waterproofing sealer that is non-toxic, low VOC and emits little to no odor. It has a water-based formula that penetrates the surface of hardwood to create a barrier that protects against the damaging effects of mold, mildew, dry rot, peeling, harsh weather conditions, and the cracking or splitting of wood. WiseCoat has a semi-transparent tint that blocks UV rays from graying hardwood and also enhances the natural grain and texture of hardwood without drastically changing its original color. It can be used on both dark and light hardwoods and is available in a 1 gallon can that covers approximately 250-350 square feet per coat.
A 1 gallon can of WiseCoat covers approximately 250-350 square feet per coat, but actual coverage can vary due to the porosity of the wood surface.

The DeckWise Hardwood Wrench is a self-locking board straightening tool. With its larger self-locking cam, stainless steel, and ergonomic hardwood handle, and adjustable joist pins, it straightens deck boards with ease. The Hardwood Wrench is expandable, reversible, dual-purpose, and has a pushing force of roughly 1,100 pounds.
It is essential to have a minimum space between deck boards of 1⁄8” for drainage purposes and to prevent warping. This can be done easily by using two or more DeckWise Deck Board Spacers every 24 inches between boards. Deck Board Spacers are also available in 4 larger sizes if you desire a more spaced decking design.
DeckWise WiseCoat is water-based and contains lower VOCs, while Ipe Oil is oil-based and has a low 250 VOCs. WiseCoat is ultimately a non-toxic and more eco-friendly option to protect your deck. The water-based nature of WiseCoat also means that it does not have shipping regulations like oil-based Ipe Oil is held to.
VOCs are organic compounds that easily become gases and can sometimes be considered hazardous or air pollutants. Many regions in California require the use of products with less than 100 VOCs. DeckWise Ipe Oil is a higher VOC product that is not available for sale in California SCAQMD Jurisdiction, LA-Eastern, LA-Western, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties. A great low VOC option for individuals in this area would be Low VOC DeckWise Ipe Oil or DeckWise WiseCoat.
WiseCoat will typically be dry enough to walk on in roughly 2-3 hours but allow 12-24 hours of drying time for it to fully cure.
There should be at least 1 inch of thread into the framing material. So, a 2 x 6 deck board that is 11⁄2 inches thick should use a 21⁄2 - 3 inch long deck screw (depending on your preference).
DeckWise offers five main types of screws with a variety of sizes, colors, and options:
The Drill & Drive bit bores a 3⁄8” hole in which the rim can be adversely affected with the use of a bugle head screw. The diameter of the bugle head screw barely fits in a 3⁄8” hole, and when driven in, it can create an oblong area at the rim of the plug hole leaving room for moisture intrusion after the plug is glued in. Thus, the #8 trim head deck screws are ideal for use with the Drill & Drive Kit.
