Q: What happens if you put too much stain on a deck?

• <div><p>Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. </p></div>

Q: Can you paint or stain pressure-treated wood?

• <div><p>Pressure-treated wood can not only be painted and stained, but it should be; doing so will help to prevent surface or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-common-problems-can-endanger-your-deck.htm">deck board cracking</a>. Allow the wood to dry out before painting it, as pressure-treated wood from the hardware store takes longer to dry than kiln-dried lumber. If water beads on the surface, it needs additional time to dry&mdash;in fact, it can take weeks or even months to fully dry. As soon as the wood absorbs water on the surface, it is ready to be painted or stained.</p></div>

Q: How long does Ipe wood last?

• <div><p>Ipe wood can last up to 75 years with minimal maintenance because its own oils help to preserve it. However, to get the most out of your Ipe wood deck, you should perform some routine maintenance, including regular cleaning, sweeping of leaves and debris, and rinsing spills with a hose. It&rsquo;s also important to repair any deep scratches as soon as you spot them and reseal the deck annually to protect against scratches and scuffs. </p></div>

Q: How can I stop paint from bubbling?

• <div><p>To make sure the paint won&rsquo;t bubble as you apply it, make sure to paint on a day that&rsquo;s cooler than 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature is too high, the paint won&rsquo;t dry evenly, which can result in bubbles forming on the surface. Another way to prevent paint from bubbling is to clean the walls, apply primer, and let everything dry completely before you begin.</p></div>

Q: What is better: wet-sanding or dry-sanding?

• <div><p>Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it&rsquo;s a good option if you&rsquo;re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you&rsquo;re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don&rsquo;t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.</p></div>
