I saw the link on this site for Ipe and saw that you have Armstrong-Clark as your top, but only reviewing two (and Defy). Any thoughts on Defy, Penofin, Super Deck etc? Looking for something that will last, although I do recognize that Ipe will require more frequent treatments. Thanks!

Thanks for the Defy recommendation. Any thoughts on Tung Oil?
Also, any thoughts on when to do a first coat after a deck installation? I've heard to wait a season to allow the deck to acclimatize and the pours to open up first.
PS - I am in Seattle

Tung Oil will do nothng for UV protection and will attract mildew. See here about new wood: https://www.deckstainhelp.com/how-long-should-you-wait-to-stain-a-new-deck/
