Here are some close-up pics of the wood. Also, on closer inspection, many of the pieces have cracks at the end and throughout the middle. Is it possible to fix the cracks or is it too late?

We purchased trimscrew SS screws for his project and using Dewalt carbide blades. Is the cracking throughout the middle of the boards common? There are about 15 out of 40 boards that are cracked so he was thinking of replacing them altogether even though they were really cheap

So, do I just clean them with oxalic acid or percarb and then seal after drying? Should they be cleaned before screwing down or can we put them down first and then clean? What to do about the boards that are already cracked? Will they continue to crack after sealing?

I just picked up a another batch of ipe wood - a local distrib is getting rid of it so I couldn't pass up the price. Anyway, after I unwrapped it (they had it covered at the warehouse), there were marks (1" across the width) from the slates in between the rows it was stacked, some areas that looked like it was watered marked, some boards had an oily substance on it, and some looked like it was moldy. Can I use 100% percarb or do I need to mix it with sod triploy and such?

I will take some pics. Pressure Pro - I appreciate your help on the other forums but this isn't for my house (i.e. not a homeowner alert :-) - I have already installed my deck. I've started a putting green business and this deck is an outcrop of that. We are installing a green at a partners house for display and have thought about venturing into some basic decking that compliments the green. So, back to the ??, what amount of sod percarb should I use?
