Preparation

Surfaces must be clean and dry, removing all traces of dust and dirt before application (maximum moisture content 20%). Only apply on a frost-free surface. For guaranteed performance, Osmo recommends that all traces of previous finishes are removed to expose clean, bare wood.

• Existing oiled surfaces can be lightly rubbed back with meths and then fully cleaned
• Pre-existing paints, varnishes, waxes, and sealers must be completely removed by sanding or with a suitable stripper or remover
• Use Osmo Interior Wood Filler to repair small dents and holes
• To protect against blue stain in moist surroundings, pre-treat with biocide-free wax impregnation Osmo Wood Protector

Application

Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times. Osmo Polyx-Oil Tints are ready-to-use from the tin, do not thin. Stir thoroughly prior to and periodically during application to ensure a consistent finish. Osmo oils dry via oxidation so it is important to ensure good ventilation during application and drying.

The ideal application tool is a firm, fine, natural bristled brush. For the best results, apply thinly and remove any excess oil from the surface of the wood with a clean, lint-free cloth.

1. Apply first coat thinly and evenly along the wood grain with an Osmo Brush
2. Remove any surplus oil from the wood and leave it to dry. Usually, touch dry in 8 to 10 hours
3. Lightly de-nib the surface
4. Remove all traces of denibbing/sanding dust with a vacuum cleaner
5. Apply a second thin coat and allow to fully dry
6. Allow 24 hours before exposing the floor to normal use

Aftercare

For daily maintenance, a duster, mop, or vacuum cleaner will be sufficient. For commercial premises, an electric floor polisher can be used.
