When installing a mahogany T&G porch floor, I like to coat each board all six sides prior to installation.
Downside is the boards become scuffed during installation. And it is tougher to set them tight due to buildup of finish in the grooves.
Ideally, I'd second coat them after installation, but oil finishes don't dry properly when second coated (On my next deck, I'll be using Messmers for Hardwood.)
Any solutions?
I'm considering using Woodlife Classic as the 1st coat before installation, since it says it won't interfere with top coats. Then the Messmers after installation.
Has anyone tried this?
