Surface Preparation

• Wood surface must be clean, dry and frost-free (moisture content max. 18%).
• Osmo Polyx®-Oil Tints is ready to use.
• Do not thin. Stir well using a flat stirring stick or spatula before use.
• Clean old microporous stains thoroughly. Old paints and lacquers must be completely removed.
• As a general rule, wear a dust mask during sanding works.
• Fill small cracks, larger joints or holes in wood (Osmo Wood Filler).
• Sand wood surfaces carefully. Begin with coarse sandpaper – final sanding work for flooring P120-150, for furniture P180-240.
• Before oiling the surface, remove sanding dust with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner.
• The finished surface is influenced by several factors, including the condition of the wood.
• Therefor, a trial application is always required, especially for unfamiliar surfaces.

Method of Application

• Transparent colour: With Osmo Flat Brush, Osmo Microfibre Roller, Oil Finish Applicator Fleece (Hand Pad Holder) or Floor Brush, apply thinly and evenly to the clean and dry wood along the wood grain and spread well.
• Allow to dry for approx. 24 hours under good ventilation.
• If a stronger colour intensity is desired, repeat the process (however maximal two coats).
• Lightly stained effect: Within 20 minutes after application, wipe away product along the wood grain with a cloth or white pad.
• Allow to dry for approx. 24 hours under good ventilation.
• Intensive colour: For this application, we recommend Osmo Wood Wax Finish or Osmo Oil Stain.
• Important: Apply maximum one coat of Polyx®-Oil Tints or Oil Stain to flooring.
• (Not applicable for Polyx®-Oil Tints 3040 White, see Notes.) After thoroughly drying, a top coat with a clear Osmo Polyx®-Oil is to be carried out.
• Avoid covering during drying and curing.
• After 2-3 weeks, the surface is fully cured.

Care

• Regular Cleaning: Dust mopping using the green Dust-Mop from the Osmo Mop Cleaning Kit for Floors.
• Damp mopping using diluted Osmo Wash and Care and the Micro-Mop plush from the Osmo Mop Cleaning Kit for Floors.
• Alternatively use the convenient Osmo Spray-Mop
• Occasional Maintenance: For satin sheen surfaces that have dulled slightly, refresh the surface with Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner.
• Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner can also help to remove stubborn shoe scuff marks for example.
• If the treated surface has retained colour yet there is a reduction in water repellency use Osmo Maintenance Oil.
• This is important to ensure the top coat remains optimal – especially in very busy areas like a door entrance for example.
• Osmo Maintenance Oil is thinner than regular Polyx Oil so can be used more regularly without adding too much wax and oil.
• Before using Osmo Maintenance Oil, damp clean the surface using diluted Osmo Wash and Care, or alternatively Osmo Spray cleaner and allow to fully dry.
• For small areas Osmo Maintenance Oil can be applied thinly with a lint free cloth or white pad.
• Remove excess product.
• Allow for good ventilation while drying.
• A small trial is highly recommended first.
• Recoating: When slight signs of wear to the clear ( or white) top coat become visible, or if the surface is looking tired, simply re-apply one thin coat of the appropriate Polyx Oil top coat onto the clean and dry surface.
• Avoid applying the top coat to areas that have lost colour, or have become bare and dirty.
• Bare, dirty surfaces could appear more rich and dark following the application of the oil finish and may require more attention.
• A small trial is highly recommended first.
