Has anyone else been experiencing these spots. One week after I started this job these spots showed up. it's now been 1 1/2 months since the job was complete and the spots haven't gotten any worse. These spots are not over the entire job, only over where the boards come to the end of the deck, where there are a few 2x4s that the ipe boards cross.
I had two other decks that did this that I completed over 6 months ago that are now covered with mildew. The thing with the decks that are covered in mildew is tthat hey had system under the boards to catch the water and divert it tio the edge to drain. I'm thinking that they hold a lot of moisture and that is where it's coming from. I'm going to go and see what I can do with them as soon as I slow down a bit (soon).
The process on the deck was:
8 oz per gal F-18,
let completely dry
8 ox per gal OX
sand with 60 grit
stain.
Should I be bleaching ipe after a process like that?
