mrmichaeljmoore 14 Report post Posted April 10, 2013 Need some help finding a different stain for my IPE deck. I've used Penofin since I put in the deck. I've posted pictures here a number of times....I'm well aware of the annual maintenance requirements required by IPE and Penofin. Thank goodness my deck isn't that big..... I like 2 things about Penofin: The Penofin makes the IPE deck look great and no issues with lap marks when applying the stain. But, the one thing I don't like about Penofin is that I have to wipe down any excess stain after 20 minutes to avoid the tackiness. So, I'm looking for a stain that does not require wiping off excess or has any issues with lap marks. I was gonna go with Ready Seal........but I can't get that locally unfortunately. Any suggestions? Thanks. mm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike, I doubt you will find anything much better in local big box or specialty paint stores. Ready Seal or Armstrong-Clark stains can be ordered on line and shipped to your doorstep.
