staining mahagony deck

My father and grandfather swear by Cuprinol and been using it for decades. When the Feds regulated the sale of Cuprinol, He bought a pallet off BG and continued using it for years after. Our dock was 50 years old before we had to replace it!

Cuprinol is gone so we use the next best thing, DukBak or DuckBak, I can't recall the spelling. Last supply was in Portsmouth. This product is popular in Maine. I highly recommend this product.

Pressure washing is recommended, only to wash away dirt mildew(with cleaner). Too much pressure will damage wood.
Mahoagany Epae and other exotic woods require special transoxide stains.
Trouble with Cabot's and Sikeens drying and lapping. Recommend California Storm Stain Hardwood OIl Finish. Available at Johnson Paint Wolfboro or Home Beautiful Laconia.
