Q: How do you keep stain rags from combusting?

• <div><p>Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible. </p></div>

Q: Do I need to stain Ipe decking?

• <div><p>No, you don't need to stain Ipe decking, although you can if you want to change the color. You will, however, need to apply a UV coating if you don't want the natural color to fade. Speak to a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/deck-staining/">deck staining specialist near you</a> to discuss the best options if you want to stain your decking. And remember that you&rsquo;ll need to seal your Ipe wood deck annually to protect it from scratches and Mother Nature. </p></div>

Q: Should you choose to seal or stain your deck for optimal protection and appearance?

• <div><p>Both sealing and staining can help make your deck look better almost immediately. However, deck stain may not contain waterproofing components, leaving the surface vulnerable to moisture damage. To protect your deck from winter weather, apply a sealer or a stain-and-sealer combination product.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to remove old stains before restaining a deck?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s best to remove the previous coat of stain from your deck before restaining it, especially if the surface is in bad condition. Restaining on top of an old coat can lead to an uneven surface, as the new stain won&rsquo;t fully soak into the deck material. That said, if your deck is in excellent condition, you may be able to get away with just cleaning the surface instead of sanding it and removing the old stain. If you choose not to remove the previous coat, it&rsquo;s best to use the same type of stain for the new layer. </p></div>
