Surface Preparation

• Wood surface must be clean, dry and frost-free (moisture content max. 20%)
• UV-Protection-Oil Tints is ready to use
• Do not thin
• Stir well using a flat stirring stick or spatula before use
• Ideally, surfaces are sanded no finer than a P120 grit grade of sandpaper
• Sanding to finer grades will reduce required absorbency
• If possible, and if the wood is absorbent, please apply first coat to all sides before installation
• Fresh wood containing natural wood ingredients /extractives (eg:  Cedar, Teak, Mahogany or Iroko) are often less absorbent and need to weather off first before applying the product
• Please refer to website ‘Suitability’ section for more details
• Weathering helps ingredient rich wood become more absorbent and the wood finish adheres optimally
• For renovation works, clean old microporous stains thoroughly – if necessary sand lightly
• Clean and restore already greyed or weathered wood at the same time with Osmo Wood Reviver Power-Gel
• Old paints and lacquers must be completely removed
• As a general rule, wear a dust mask during sanding works
• To maintain absorbency, avoid sanding surfaces finer than a P120 grit
• Weather ingredient rich wood after sanding
• The finished surface is influenced by several factors, including the condition of the wood
• Therefore, a trial application is always required, especially for unfamiliar surfaces.
• Softwood species like Pine or Spruce are more prone to blue stain, rot and insects
• If desired, pre-treat these soft woods if possible on all sides with Osmo WR Base Coat
