What is the product
Hi Dear.. I visited your KZread channel and found it needs a lot of updates. First of all your channel video SEO is very weak due to which your channel video views are not increasing. If you do SEO then your video will come first in the search list and your video views and subscribers will increase. Do you want to customize your channel?😊😊
Hi! Love this.. what brightener did you use?
I was wondering what type of finish do you guys use? Is it a water base or oil base ? And if it's an oil base how long does it take for it to dry between coats ?
We use oil based products. The stain and clear coat are both oil. the finish we use takes about 2-3 hours to dry. Dry time will also depend on temps outside and on the surface.
I'm considering Ipe or Cumaru for a deck outside. Northern California. Is Ipe more or less work to maintain in your opinion? I prefer the Ipe look but like the affordability of Cumaru.
I like Ipe for decking. It seems to keep its shape and structural integrity better. Cumaru is also nice but I would use it more ion a vertical surface.
@@teakmastertim thanks for the input. much appreciated.
Wow… What an amazing transformation! 👍👍
Thank you
I'm watching this video because I just purchased a house with 100% cedar clapboard siding. It looks like it's in need of a refresh, but my house is very large, with some very high walls. Imagine if the entire house in this video was covered in cedar siding, and you start to get the picture. I'm thinking wash and seal is the way to go in my case. I can't imagine how much it would cost to do a complete re-finish like this.
Is all that done in one day?
No
I’m asking the same. What number grit did you use?
Use 80 to refinish. Smooth out with no more than 120. Most people would leave it at 80.
I want to use ipe and do your method but what is the maintenance for this stain? I have seen other videos where the ipe goes to grey. I am afraid to use ipe if its going to grey out every year. And once it goes grey i dont think you can put the stain on top. You have resand again right?
They key is to keep up with maintenance. As long as you perform maintenance when necessary, you do not have to do the entire process. If it goes past the maintenance period, you will have to do the entire process.
@@teakmastertim Thanks for responding so quickly. How often is maintenance scheduled? What are the basic steps of maintenance? I will most likely be doing this myself. No deck, just about 4ft x 50ft of fence, doing both sides.
Is there a totally flat finish for these Tim? Don’t want any sheen.
This is the most matte finish in high quality oil based film forming coatings. You can try and use a water based matte coating but you loose the longevity and maintainability in our opinion. Any finish you apply mulitple coats of will build up a slight sheen. You can see the sheen in this video because we had just finished. Once it receives sun and weather and a layer of natural dust, it will tone down. It will look perfectly matte.
nice work
Thank you!
What a great video! Thank you 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
What grit paper did you sand with and why the brightner?
Hey Tim your work looks amazing. Im in a micro rainforest in western NC 100+ inches of rain. is there a specific product you recommed? we have used oil based sealer 2 years in a row but now its basically all turned very dark and need to be sanded down .
Thank you for this great video! We have the same furniture & it was in need of refinishing. You made it look easy & our set is now ready for summer on our new patio. Wasn't going to put the unfinished on the new patio! :)
I cleaned with deck cleaner stripped and im left with a black stain like surface across the whole garage door. sand it?
You can sand a small test area and see if it removes the marks.
@@teakmastertim 36 grit for 6 hours and im 70% clear!
@@teakmastertim 36 grit for six hours and im painting it.... thank you for the replies! your work is impeccable
Can I use this product on pressure treated pine deck?
Hi Tim, I watched your video about restoring Jarrah furniture and wondered if you could answer a couple of questions please. I had already washed & jet washed my furniture and about to sand when I found your video, The next stage would be using 'wood brightener' but because I live in the UK I'm not sure what we call that, I have used Rustin's Wood Bleach before, which is a "two pack bleaching kit for wood based on stabilised Hydrogen Peroxide" and wondered if the wood brightener you use would be the same chemical? Also would any oil based wood sealer be suitable for the final coat? Thanks for the video it was really useful and has made me really happy that I am the owner of some Jenson Jarrah garden furniture which is looking sad but is still in solid condition despite being over 20 years old.
Good work, brother!
Thank you so much for the positive comment. Please subscribe!
Love it! What grit do you primarily use on Ipe? And any reason you prefer the 1/4 sheet sander over the random orbit sanders or just trying to avoid swirls?
Great questions! We used 120 on this because the grain was tight and did not lift and the oxidation was light. We like these sanders because we can maximize the use of the corners for gettin into the railings and teak furniture we work on.
What grit sandpaper are you using?
80
Thank you so much for this video. This has helped me out so much. I have a table that has been outside for a few years and the top of lifting a bit. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks for watching. Please follow us!
Hi what number sanding paper did you use? Also what product is the Brightener?
I would also like to know this. Do you sand through different grits? Also, how do you handle sanding between the slats? Thanks for the video!
Dude,you're awesome.
Dude, what the heck. I'm happy as hell your video's here. Been looking through a lot of B.S. that reroutes me to teak furniture. I just picked up a Jensen Jarrah table in some super rich part of Portland some guy was getting rid of for free on Craigslist. Wonder how much it goes for if teak is the only current option presently from that company? It's in the same exact model. It's just Jarrah. Your video's absolutely awesome by the way. It's just through and I appreciate it. Thank you very much. And I got 9 minutes left.
Thanks for watching.
What brand sealer do you recommend?
You can use Semco.
Hey Tim, what kind of maintenance do you suggest for your customers furniture? Are you doing 6 month or able to get 1 year life with the oil?
It depends on micro climate and weather patterns for the year. In LA and OC we recommend service when visually necessary. Inland areas 8 to 12 month coastal areas 6 to 8 months.
OMG, hit it with shellac before you put anything else on it. Done deal. Way too much talking about end grain.
Like OMG lolololol!!! Less talking about end grain for the end grain video hmm...
@@teakmastertim It's where the grain is cut off. Nothing more. End of story.
This is a fantastic video
Thank you for watching. Please follow us. Have a great day!
Hey Tim, I really like your videos. Very easy to understand .
Hi guys,beautiful job, only one question, since you guys already removed the doors and have them horizontally...why don't sand, stain and finish top and bottom of doors to maximize the protection?
Great video! Can you recommend a brand of product to use? Thanks!!
You can use Messmers UV Plus for Hardwoods
@@teakmastertimI’m leaning towards the Messemer’s product….in this particular video was that what was used? Tinted?
Very nice video, I'm about to restore my Ipe deck and I have never done this before. Some questions, 1) Does the wood have to be allowed to fully dry between rinsing the sanded areas and applying the brightener, 2) Is there a waiting period between rinsing off the excess brightener and applying the oil protective coating, does it need to fully dry? If it does have to fully dry between steps, do you recommend waiting at least 12 hrs before proceeding (assuming no rain/low humidity)? Thanks again.
Apply the brightener while the wood is wet. I would wait about 10 minutes to allow the brightener to do its thing. You do not want the brightener to dry before you neutralize it. You should wait until the wood is dry. That time period will depend on the actual wood type and the temp for the day. You can wait 12 to 24 hours if you would like. You just don't want the deck to get dirty again so time is of the essence.
@@teakmastertim Thank you for these videos- truly a lifesaver for a DIYer like myself. No varnish on our exptic hardwood (cumaru), but looks very dirty after about 9 months....we live in Virginia. Can you confirm that pressure washing exotic hardwood is okay? Any reason not to pressure wash? Of course, planning to follow it up with brightener (do I need to completely let dry after the powerwashing and before applying brightener?) as well as the oil. Thanks!!
@@katiefusco799Thanks for watching! Power washing is fine. You need knowledge of how to properly the pressure washer. Also you need the correct PSI and the correct tip and be able to maintain a safe and consistant distance from the tip to the wood. A pressure washer is for cleaning surface dirt off the wood only. It is not a substitute for sanding. You want to apply the brightener while the wood is wet. Keep it wet. Then neutralize. I hope this helps.
@@teakmastertim Thank you Tim. One last item--- if the deck is older (8 years), does it still need to be sanded before applying the brightening then the oil coat? Or is sanding only for new installs?
I wish you guys were here in Atlanta
We love the ATL!!!
Great work ! Which penetrating oil do you use?
You can use Messmers UV Plus for Hardwoods
Is it tinted? Or clear?
Thanks for the tips! Currently working on my parents door too 🚪 ✨
Thanks for watching.
Awesome work. Can’t stop watching.
What cleaners are you using to clean ipe decking?
We do not use cleaners. Just pure old-fashioned H2O. Sanding will take care of removing stubborn coatings, while exposing fresh new smooth raw wood.
That looks incredible!!!
Thank you!
i have exactly these chairs wondering if you have any spare parts for these ty in advance
We don't have parts. Try Backyard Billys online.
Should have used an extension on your sprayer. Your back will thank you in the next 5 years
Haha you're right.
What do you apply to the stain to give it that shine? I want to add shine to my fence gate but spar varnish will probably leave an ugly peel
We applied an oil based clear coat. I would not recommend applying that to your fence as it will blister and peel in in no time. This door has a soffit overhang directing water away. It is also smaller than a typical fence so its easy to maintain a small surface like this in the future.
@@teakmastertimthanks do you think the behr oil based stain is any good or ready seal?
@edbrown7919 You can apply those finishes but they will not give it the shine or depth you are looking for. The penetrating oils are good on Redwood because they won't blister or peel.
@@teakmastertim ok so the messmers is the best to use
@@teakmastertim because I don’t know the difference between the oil based stain brands like Cabot messmers behr and ready seal
I've got an 18' X 20' Cumaru deck and it is a pain in the ass doing all this work. I use Messmers. It's absolutely gorgeous when done, but man is it a ton of work. What you do differently is to apply with a brush and then mop up (dry) the excess every three boards. I have used a pad on the end of a stick and then dry off the excess some 30 mins later. Always a lot of work for this 65-yr old man. I THINK that by using a brush you may be able to apply a thinner coat and then have less to wipe up. Hard to say. I am thinking of trying a water based product this year to reduce the work. And, my finish looks lousy after as little as 6-9 months, so it hardly seems worth all the effort. Almost wish I had put down TREX or similar now.
Thanks for the comments. I would stay away fro water based coatings. They simply do not work. They sit on top of the wood and blister and peel quickly. they have not figured our a way to have the water molecule penetrate like an oil does.
The product I am considering gets very good reviews. That's the only reason I'm thinking about trying it this year. I love the look of the Messmers and have used it each spring for the last ten years. But it's expensive and then doesn't last long enough to justify the level of work. 6-9 months tops before it starts to look lousy. Part of my deck is under cover and looks great. Another part stays relatively dry but gets a lot of sun. The rest gets full sun and rain. So I have started to pressure wash it and leave it alone each fall. Then reapply Mesmers each spring. I dunno....just thinking out loud due to frustration. Great video. Thanks. @stertim
So I could have written this exact same comment myself. Just finished the first cleaning process, now getting ready to brighten before applying the oil. We have the EXACT same situation of sun/shade and have cleaned and finished MANY times. It’s soooo much work. I too am 65 and I’m too old for this @**t! As you say, it looks good for about 6-9 months and them BAM, same old same old. I truly wish I had put TREX in. Let me know if you put the water based product on.
@lainynoonan1229 It's definitely not as easy as it looks especially if you have a microclimate that dictates service at 6 or 8 months. I appreciate your will in doing it yourself. We do not use water-based coatings on hardwood or horizontal surfaces. Thanks for your comment!!!
@@lainynoonan1229 My husband and I are in the exact same situation and I have been scouring the internet for an alternative to this process (in the amazing video!!). We live in Virginia- lots of different weather, humid summers, the oil based finish looks good for about 6 months, tops, then right back to where we started. Tons of work for an outcome that looks tip top for about 2 weeks before deteriorating. Totally wish we had done a TREX type decking.
Wow! You guys do amazing work 👍👍
Thank you so much 😀
Wondering what color stain you used and clear? Thanks
What is the finish you used on the Mahogany?
OMG! That is a ton of work. I cant even imagine what it would cost. Looks fantastic!!
Thank you so much. It's so nice to receive a plain and simple positive comment. Have a wonderful day!!!
I live in Western Australia and grew up with Jarrah furniture and floorboards. What I saw on this video sure did transform old weathered outdoor furniture but I have serious doubts whether the furniture is actually Jarrah. Jarrah has a beautiful natural variation of colour and grain direction. It is never perfectly straight and uniform. The timber on this video was uniform in both colour and grain. Secondly, weathered jarrah will soak up pretty much as much oil finish as you care to apply. I’ve never had to wipe off any excess. With these two considerations, I think the timber in this video is more akin to an Indonesian timber named Merbau. It looks similar to Jarah in colour but is uniform and straight. It is also the preferred timber for use in outdoor furniture in Australia. It won’t soak up much oil either which is what was seen in this video. Perhaps this furniture was supplied by less than experienced suppliers. Might be worth checking for future reference.
How long did this restoration take?
Hi, just cpme across this video and wow great content and information. One question, do you apply one coat of oil or do you come back next day to apply a second coat? Oh and do you ever use chemical strippers to remove old coatings or only by sanding?? Cheers
