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: Is it worth sanding a deck?

• <div><p>It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-refinish-deck.htm">deck refinishing process</a>. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.</p></div>

Q: How long does wood stain take to dry?

• <div><p>Wood stain is usually dry to the touch within 6 to 8 hours, but you should let each coat sit for 24 hours before applying another coat or applying a protective coat over it. If you applied your stain in high humidity or cold temperatures, you may need to wait up to 48 hours for the stain to dry completely.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a top coat on a painted deck?

• <div><p>The need for a topcoat on a painted deck depends on various factors, primarily the type of paint used and your desired level of protection. Many premium deck paint formulations are self-sealing, eliminating the necessity for an additional topcoat. These paints often have built-in additives that substantially protect against moisture, UV rays, and everyday wear and tear.</p></div>

Q: Do you have to seal wood stain?

• <div><p>Applying a topcoat sealer is not required, but it will keep the stain from fading over time. This is particularly important if the stain imparts a color or varnish. If you&rsquo;re <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-stain-wood.htm">staining exterior wood</a>, you should apply a sealant or finish to prevent weather-related issues down the line. Also, stained wood that lacks a seal won&rsquo;t look as clean and fresh. A clear topcoat will give it the professional result you want. </p></div>
