Oil finish for cedar deck - favorites?

[dpetrzelka]

I just pressured washed our older cedar deck, and the wood is looking pretty good. I do not care for the look of a heavy build finish on decks, and want to use some sort of penetrating oil finish. This is well outside my area of expertise - any of you have recommendations?

thanks all

We put Penofin on this new knotty western red cedar deck/pergola.  I talked with a painter a couple years ago who mentioned that the architect spec'd Penofin over Mahogany, but the painter suggested a careful application since the solvents in the product could deteriorate the EPDM roofing underneath.  I didn't have cause to research this farther, but trust him.

I've been looking at using a product from Australia that has good reviews but has limited distribution here in NA.  Cutek is a deep penetrating oil that is tintable to many colours/shades.

You could use their contact page to see where it is available in NA.  So far, in my area, it is only available thru a firm that specializes in deck materials in Ontario.  I've been quoted $101 + Tax Canadian for a gallon and $10 additional for the tint colours.  Apparently their product goes a long way versus other penetrating oils on the market.

It is all that I would use on Cedar now. Great product, easy to use and made in Oregon.
