The CUTEK® system is built around two simple steps: Prepare and Protect. Start with CUTEK® Wood Stripper and/or CUTEK® Wood Reviver to get your wood clean and ready. Then protect it with CUTEK® Extreme clear oil, adding a CUTEK® Colortone to maintain or change the color. Then maintenance is as easy as a wash with CUTEK® Quickclean and a re-coat with CUTEK® Extreme, no sanding required.
Garapa Decking Kiln Dried
Garapa is a stable and durable exotic hardwood from Brazil that is naturally resistant to rot, decay and insect attack. Garapa is naturally scratch resistant which allows the surface to remain smooth for many years. Garapa is a wood that will out-perform pine, cedar, and other softer woods.
Garapa is a more affordable exotic hardwood for high end residential and commercial projects where more expensive woods like ipe are outside of budget limitations. Garapa has a fine textured grain very similar to ipe. Garapa also has a 25 year warranty against rot and decay.
Hardwood decking and products manufactured from hardwood decking are natural wood products, and as such will have natural variations in color and grain, including quarter sawn and plain sawn pieces. These variations are an accepted characteristic of these species and products, and are not considered a defect. All decking returns will be subject to a 15% restocking fee if the individual pieces are not found to be defective. Any acceptable returns must be in the exact same condition as when they were purchased.
Hardwood decking and products manufactured from hardwood decking are subject to possible movement in service including expansion and contraction. Some pieces with slight warp are possible as well. It is advised that proper installation techniques are followed to minimize the possible movement in service of these products. Mason’s Mill & Lumber is not responsible for any possible movement in service, as this is a natural characteristic of all wood.

Frequently Asked Questions
Traditional varnishes and many "penetrating" oils form a film on the surface of the wood. Over time, UV rays and wood movement break down that film, causing it to flake or peel and letting water in, which leads to cupping, warping, splitting and rot. CUTEK® Extreme clear oil is a true penetrating oil. It diffuses deep into the wood and drives moisture out from the inside. Its protective components stay permanently mobile in the wood, migrating to any cut or fastener hole and sealing it against moisture. This "self-healing" effect is what makes CUTEK® the professional's choice for long-term wood protection.
Step 1 – Prepare: Clean and enhance your wood with CUTEK® Wood Reviver, CUTEK® Wood Stripper or CUTEK® Quickclean. Step 2 – Protect: Apply CUTEK® Extreme clear oil, with a CUTEK® Colortone added if you want to hold or change the color of your wood.
No. CUTEK® Extreme will not peel or flake. Over time, wood exposed to the sun will fade and a CUTEK® Colortone can wear with use. When that happens, simply clean and apply a maintenance coat — no sanding or stripping required.
Yes. CUTEK® Extreme stabilizes wood by controlling the free exchange of moisture between the wood and the environment. Because it stays mobile and self-healing, that protection continues even when the wood is cut or fastened, improving dimensional stability and extending service life.
Yes. Each additional coat of CUTEK® Extreme adds more protection against moisture. The more consistently you maintain your wood with CUTEK® Extreme, the better protected it becomes.
No. CUTEK® Extreme must be applied to bare, clean and dry wood. Existing stains, paints, linseed oil, polyurethane and water-based finishes block penetration and must be fully removed first with CUTEK® Wood Stripper followed by CUTEK® Wood Reviver, or by machine sanding.
CUTEK® Extreme can be applied to new wood without preparation. For the best results — and especially if you're adding a CUTEK® Colortone — we recommend CUTEK® Wood Reviver first to clean the surface, open the grain and remove tannins, mill glaze and other stains.
Use CUTEK® Wood Reviver. It removes the grey and brings back the original color and grain of your wood before you apply CUTEK® Extreme.
Clean it with CUTEK® Quickclean to remove dirt, grease and grime, then recoat. If maintenance has been neglected and the wood has greyed or become heavily stained, use CUTEK® Wood Reviver before recoating.
Stir CUTEK® Extreme thoroughly from the bottom of the can (with your CUTEK® Colortone mixed in, if using) before and during use. Apply thin, even coats with a brush or paint pad applicator. Two or three thin coats are much better than one or two thick coats.
Yes. Wood coated with clear CUTEK® Extreme can be installed immediately or block stacked wet for later use. We don't recommend wet stacking wood coated with a Colortoned CUTEK® Extreme, as it may create an uneven, smudged finish.
