Charlie,

I do not have a clue as to how it looks after drying from a new application. Realize you are looking at 2+ years of sun, rain, snow, use, in a temperate climate.

Longevity of this Wolman's EHT on ipe' is unparalleled in my limited experience. Ready Seal, Wood Tux, Baker's, or other real oil stains would have been long gone, long ago.

Still say that ESI's 50/50 western cedar/brown sugar, is the most stunning, best looking stain out there on ipe'.

But this particular customer, whether by choice or otherwise, let his ipe' naturally just weather for 14 months prior to applying the Wolman's EHT. I believe that makes a big difference in the lifetime of any oil or water based stain.
