Final advice on stain for ipe - Jul 24th, 08, 02:31 PM

Alright, I have all but given up on ever receiving my order of woodzotic from Ken. I'm not interested in starting another thread dealing with those issues. What I am interested in is the easiest and best choice to replace the woodzotic. I have read the other threads and am embarassed to say I'm still a little confused.
I would like to order the woodrich or woodtux but I'm not sure of the difference. I read about mixing the colors to get the woodzotic color. I want to keep it as simple as possible (no mixing). I have an Ipe and Massanruba deck that I built two years ago. I have the rad which AI have yet to use but I did rent a floor sander last fall and flattened out the deck removing the old messmers in the process.
I should be ready to go a day or two after using the rad I think.
Which color will keep the most natural look of the freshly sanded woods? Which is the easiest/quickest to apply?
I have about 350 ft2 plus railings to stain. If I buy a 5 gallon container, can I use it any leftover over the next couple of years.
Thanks for your advice.
Mike
