Always the BEST Finish for Exterior Wood - The Restoration Couple

Time to get the brush out and get the old timber cladding transformed! The weapon of choice is OSMO UV Oil which has always been a great performer on our own previous projects. Plus a bonus evening fish to top off the DIY day at the folks place.

Looks like a great finish!! Fair play for painting the whole building with a 2" brush!!!

[@chrissteere9494]

You have given me the itch to get up with my two brothers and hit the North Carolina mountains for some trout fishing. Cheers!

[@willwyatt9801]

If there's any channel that deserves a sliver play button it's yours! Keep it up.

[@mdns8434]

Looks like a really satisfying job and well rounded off with a fishing trip. I've been watching your brilliant videos for inspiration on my own, seemingly endless, restoration house and barn project. Osmo are a fantastic range of products and although they may be expensive, if you apply with a cloth and work it in like Tung or Danish oil a little goes a long way and the finish really brings out the detail of the wood, rather than just coating it. The great thing is that like these other oils you can apply it and then go back and even it out by rubbing it with the cloth to remove streaks and shiny spots. Works well on furniture too. Cheers!

I love watching your videos, I live in an apartment and miss diy thing in my house. You fill that entertainment

[@leelipinski4667]

Love the bit where your working and your Dad is drinking his tea. Ha.. Really nice finish. Great job

[@S16NET]

So I'm about 6 weeks away from receiving a brand new softwood log cabin, I've been advised by the supplier to use a water based product such as Cuprinol Garden shades. None of which float my boat on colors. I'm just in the process of installing a heap of oak sleepers from which one of your other videos inspired me, Had every intention of using the clear Osmo oil on these and the new log cabin. The supplier said they have had better results from the water based product but i really want to use the Osmo UV and possibly WR base to cover the wood boring insect possibility. I would love to know how the garage is holding up 2 years down the line. Keep the video's coming, They are great!

[@ratchriat1716]

i think is going to look great when is finish and is the best weather for it happy day.

[@barnie8282]

We used osmo on our oak interior doors, not the cheapest option but lively finish.

[@nickhorton1862]

Please do a dedicated fishing video 😍

[@desreed1]

Was that your dad popping along to supervise at about 4 mins in? Nice video as always 👍

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

Nice finish with Osmo, not used it myself but had lots of recommendations to use it. There is a very similar Eco product called Treatex. Check out their website. They do inside and outside oils and finishes. Not sure how it compares price wise but I have used it inside on floors and it is a very nice hard wearing finish. Andy UK

[@stephenwhite5444]

Great work! How well has it held up? Been 4 years, does it need to be redone yet?

[@combows]

Ha ha ya dad seems to be taking a supervisor role their :)

[@cathconnolly5742]

Where were you fishing and any chance you could give a brief bio, where did you get your skills?

[@lesroberts2244]

My preferred wood preparation is recycled plastic feather board

[@capt.jeffzavatsky2838]

how has this finish held up? Does it crack and peel off? Does it form a film? What is required for maintenance coats?

[@MWD78]

Could you use this on sleepers? If not what wood stain protection would you use? Want a light colour for my first treatment.

[@arthusiast]

Hi, am getting red cedar wood fence panels in my back yard, do you think it needs to be sanded, before I apply the oil. I mean it is required for brand new installation as there is no wear or outdoor exposure yet. Any advice appreciated.

[@felixreali7101]

tedious but rewarding work. great vid again. i would love to do this kind of stuff with my dad but since i live in Ireland and my parents are in Belgium, I only get very few chances to do this kind of work together. But luckily I have a great father in law here :-)

[@dalemoore11]

My hard wood sleepers look poor now only lasted 3 years with osmo need to sand and redo this summer not sure what I'm going to use this time around

[@ianwebber5991]

Love ya videos, been watching last few month, can i ask what you do for a living? And what has happened to the oak timber structure? Cheers

[@cephalotus59]

He must have the energy of 10 men if he has a job as well!

[@cristiansebastianfernandez9453]

What color is that OSMO UV?

[@cathconnolly5742]

Where were you fishing and any chance of you giving a brief bio, we wondered how you got your skills.

[@minkybear9929]

Cath Connolly I’ve often wondered that.

[@splitwagon]

We painted our hand built pergola in Osmo 'Patina' (grey) it looks amazing. Watching the rain drops sit on the surface is fascinating, unfortunately I ruined my favourite DIY shirt doing it. Osmo say it can be overpainted with no special prep I hope they are right.

[@mmmurdo]

I've just opened a tin of that for a couple external projects. Is it meant to be so watery? Ive applied it to some walnut but i don't know if it looks OK or not

[@1806StoneHouse]

I need to repaint my trim.. not looking forward to it.. does osmo come in white? Looks like a good product.

[@paulmcfadyen689]

1806StoneHouse you want butinox

[@1806StoneHouse]

Paul McFadyen thanks, I’ll look into that.

[@bren106]

I'm not sure I wanted to be forced to think about your cheeks. After all you could mean the ones I *definitely* don't want to have in my mind.

[@1806StoneHouse]

Martin Geldart haha!

[@ahjazhussain7393]

Nice work, quick question, what type of cladding have you used to build the outer building which you are applying the Osmo oil to? Siberian Larch, Redwood pressure treated? Thanks

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Treated redwood. It had been up around 15 years before this.

[@ahjazhussain7393]

@@TheRestorationCouple great, thank you for you're quick reply! I have been watching your video's for over a year now, well done to the work you have done, hats off! I'm building an outer extension out of timber, not sure about the cladding, do I go for Siberian Shiplap, or pressure treated redwood, would have any knowledge on which is more durable, and less maintenance?

[@reecehanson3952]

What type of paint brush did you use?

[@otherwiseoutside]

the smallest one possible. :)

[@raywilson3166]

Does it treat wet rot, dry rot and wood boring insects?

[@moran68]

No ! 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@losttheplot26]

You applied it a little bit too thick in my opinion. Good stuff. How's it looking today...

[@chrisb4009]

I bought some “clear” Osmo Poly and it turned out what I can only call Swedish sauna. Really disappointing.

[@minastirith997]

Chris B you mean yellow?

[@chrisb4009]

murgul morgul no, it’s a horrible orange colour.

[@kickpublishing]

Trust me, you'll be redoing Osmo every year of your life. I eventually got fed up and stripped it off and went with varnish - least I get 2 to 3 years out of it now. In future I would only use oak externally and let it go grey and then its self preserved. Osmo is a poor performer for the money - it hols up to moisure fine wind and direct sun strip it right off.

[@johnclark2333]

I've got two thumbs, so why can't I give you two thumbs up? :)

[@MikhailScottKy]

I have to say I am surprised that you did not use an air compressor to apply the sealant to the wood.

[@koorob]

You weren’t getting the coverage because you were putting too much on. Less is more with Osmo.
