Odies vs Osmo vs Rubio - Search for the ULTIMATE WOODWORKING FINISH

[@OsmoCanada]

Hi Drew. Thanks for including us in your comparison. In order to achieve full stain resistance with Osmo it is advisable to roll or brush the finish onto the surface and allow it to dry without buffing away the excess. White pads and rags apply the finish very thinly, and so 2-3 coats using this method will leave behind a fraction of the finish versus 2-coats with a brush or a roller. This means reduced stain resistance as you have found here. Bear in mind Osmo is designed to be rolled and brushed to achieve the highest durability. So to improve the stain resistance we'd suggest to roll or brush two coats onto the surface and allowing the finish to dry (do not wipe the finish off). After the second coat has dried, you can lightly scuff sand the surface with a maroon pad or P320 grit and buff in 1-2 coats using the method you used in this video. Once done and cured, you should find that the Osmo has at least 24-hour resistance to the liquids you placed on the surface. Hope this helps

[@DrewBuildsStuff]

Hey thanks for getting in touch. I’ll try the method outlined above and reupload the video if there’s a discernible difference! Also I’d consider updating your application instructions on your website to something clearer like this because I read them about 5 times to make sure I was doing it right and have seen many videos of people applying the same way on here. Thanks!

[@OsmoCanada]

@@CraigularjJoeWoodworks Hi CS. Thanks for your feedback. Our comments were us describing how to achieve full durability with our product. Two coats with a cloth will not achieve full durability as shown in the video and so we addressed it. We could honestly speak all day and use a lot more than 250 words on wood finishing, it’s a whole trade! We’re sorry that turns you off, but you do you 😅

[@takeniteasyfriend]

I like Drew’s method along with others, eg Matt Estlea’s. It appears there’s some confusion with practicality, aesthetics vs lab experiments. Getting rid of the brush and roller is the only reason I was remotely interested in Osmo in lieu of Rubio. Hopefully this informs the Osmo marketing department alongside the chemical engineers when designing this product. Thanks for sharing Drew. Subscribed.

[@andrewgrant1814]

Yeah.... nah.. Apply with roller and leave. I tried this numerous times and it leaves way to many noticeable lines, not a smooth finish at all.. finally ended up sanding the piece back and changing to Rubio.

[@OsmoCanada]

@@andrewgrant1814 Hi Andrew, You need to use a 4mm microfibre roller and to roll as thinly as the roller allows. If you are leaving lines, it means your roller is too saturated. If any roughness develops, it can be sanded lightly with P320 before applying a subsequent coat. Hope this helps.

[@sgoldste02]

Nice video. The only thing I wish you added was after your scratch test comparison, if you applied another coat of each product to see how well they repair the damage on both sides of the boards.

[@AdamaAdama-b4l]

Great video! I love my Odie's! My favorite approach is to sand to 400/500 grit for semi gloss , apply one coat of Odie's followed by wood butter or 2 coats of Odie's - and is totally bullet proof! my countertops after one year still look amazing, I had some small scratches but were easily spot repaired! Now my new favorites are the Odie's stains, omg what a game changer, especially for wood floors or outdoor projects- you get the maximum UV protection!

[@cgrovespsyd]

Of the three, I have only used Odie’s Oil. However, I have had very good results applying two coats of Velvit Oil, (food safe after it drys and similar to Minwax Antique Oil), which is a penetrating oil. After it has dried thoroughly, I apply Odie’s oil per manufacturer’s directions. Velvit Oil provides deeper protection and visually pops the grain out and Odie’s Oil gives a nice sheen and better surface protection.

[@kellyg5015]

Thanks for taking the time to do this comparison. It was great. I too like to use Rubio. I’ve had zero problems or complaints and it is so easy to apply.

[@hopefullyhelpful1]

Drew, now that it's summer I'd love to see you do a video, Search for the ultimate outdoor woodworking finish.

[@duckhunter109]

Fantastic video. I just subscribed. Note that with Odie's oil, you can easily add a coat of Odie's hard wax on top of the oil. It provides more protection than the oil alone.

[@LiloUkulele]

Great video!!!...one test I might recommend is a cup of hot liquid...pretty common around dining tables. I'm getting ready to take off a nitro lac finish on a big bubinga dining table-deep scratches, milky clouds from hot items. Love the look and feel of the finishes you presented...perhaps wear and tear and the inevitable refinish is just part of the program...Thanks again for a great video

[@LoganLovell]

I've used Odie's on the past few projects I've done, namely a coffee table. I'm very pleased with how easily it goes on and how durable it is (i sometimes spill or forget coasters and the surface still looks brand new). I'm thinking about switching to Rubio as my main finish because I think I like the sheen a little more and I think there's a lot more versatility in the color than with Odie's. This video was certainly helpful in deciding if it makes sense to switch between finishes or just stick with one.

[@LivingNorDead]

Great video, I would like to point out that osmo has a 2-3week true cure time according to their tds, and running tests before that time does kinda smudge your durability test results. You are supposed to really baby what it's applied to during that cure window

[@takeniteasyfriend]

🏆 Impressive comparison ☝️ Particularly liked the scratch tests on both the wood & epoxy. Many videos on applying, but few show the durability under practical conditions. Really appreciate this one Look forward to seeing more of the channel 👍

[@thomasmyers6000]

This was one of, if not the best comparison video I've watched on the subject. Nice work!

[@browntroutbum]

Watched because a friend has been talking to me about Osmo which I haven’t used. Odies products have been my go to for years regardless of type of wood or other product finishing. Really great common sense and unbiased review of the products you have here - I’m familiar with Rubio but haven’t used in years. Glad to see my Odies holds up to others. Next project I’m gonna try Rubio again and see if I wanna go back there Probably will ask my buddy to watch this video before continuing to use Osmo on tables Very well done!

[@kfu4657]

I'm using Odie's and Rubio at the moment. I wanted to try osmo, but am glad I caught this video B4 I invested in it. Sticking to the other 2. Mahalo for sharing. Great informative video. Gluck in all u do.

[@jeromechoquet2075]

I always use LIVOS and I never had any of these issues especially after 2 or 3 coats, no marks and nice sheen 👌+ I've been told they are real food safe oils bc 100% natural, works great, I would recommend.

[@oldcodger4672]

Thank you Drew for an excellent video. I have subscribed. There are many “experts” demonstrating different methods of applying OSMO. They do not include tests for stain resistance, nor mention of total amount of solids deposited with each technique. They only comment on final finish. Some of these “experts” appear to be blatant influencers, despite their strident declarations that they are independent. The OSMO motto “thin to win” obviously contributes to poor stain resistance, so should be reviewed. Perhaps “enough for tough” might be more apt. I will try the OSMO microfibre rollers. I presume wrapping the rollers up in lunch wrap plastic will be the best way to store between coats. The OSMO expert could comment please, as well as cleaning rollers. I found OSMO comments very helpful, thank you.

[@edrarick9378]

I just completed a rift-cut white oak kitchen (cabinets) with Rubio's 5% Smoke. My first time using and I love it. I only sanded to 100 grit (per Rubio instruction) and water-popped before application. 100 grit would be too harsh for cherry, for example, but on the white oak it was a perfect grit. With a 2nd coat of Rubio's the sheen evens out and is flat but not dull. I also used Rubio's on cherry stair treads for a boat. Looks fantastic. I have used Odies (on a walnut river table) but the finish is too dull for my taste.

[@Paul-jp8zz]

nice. I just did a rift white oak kitchen with Rubio "natural".. sanded to 180, never water popped, only one coat, it looks and feels great!

[@jwayneair]

Only sand for Rubio up to 120. It leaves the pores more open and allows better penetration, which gives better protection. Also using a squeegee to apply it on will allow it to absorb better (it’s akin to using a trowel for sheetrock mud or plaster), as a white pad/cloth/rag will absorb more than the wood, making it difficult for the wood to absorb all it can. Then use a white pad to work it in and ensure an even coat. Use a cloth/rag to remove the excess as it’ll more efficiently do so due to said absorption and will smooth over perfectly on the epoxy. For a second coat, some will say to gently go over it with 240, wipe down, and apply. I’ve had great success with simply wiping down and applying, the chatoyance it’ll bring out in walnut is simply stunning, like nothing else can achieve.

[@kvcooks814]

I can't thank you enough for this video! I am having some white oak pieces built for my new kitchen and these 3 products were the contenders for finishing...I was going to go with Osmo, but now think I'll try Odie's.

[@bobshool1237]

I use odie's oil and absolutely love it I have all of their products. If you really want a durable finish. So if you use the odie's oil then the wood butter and the wax as a 3 step process you will have a very durable finish. I would use it on any hardwood floor. I love the way it smells and love the fact you don't have to have a respirator or gloves. I didn't have to build a spray booth or get a respirator. Just make sure to read the instructions and use as directed and it will work as described.

[@myksbox]

great video. I use 2 of these products, mostly with black walnut, sometimes even in combination. This was an excellent side by side comparison. Doing these kinds of tests can really provide useful info

[@mstreefern]

Would you mind elaborating a bit on how you combine them and in what order? I was thinking about the very same thing, wondering whether one could get the best of both - or all three - worlds by doing so...

[@danielstraka17]

Thanks for the answer to the question right in beginning: The best smelling Odie's is the way to go ... A scent of any product will accompany tabletop for years...

[@gabriphoto]

beautiful video!! the only thing I would have added is that Odies Oil is certified for contact with food and you could apply it without protection, but in fact the components are not known.

[@BLAM777]

I'm going with the rubio for our live edge counter tops. Thanks for the video.

[@tradergirl7067]

thabks so much for the effort you put into the video. I am a newbie and seeling Odies examples before I spend half a stack on that jar. love that you selaed something other than wood also.

[@polarbearsrus6980]

Got my Rubio today... looking forward to tying it. Thanks for sharing this test, it sold me.

[@Joe___R]

I would like to see how well odies would have performed with 2 coats.

[@jeremydahl7552]

i called odies and asked them about highest level of protection. to acheive highest level of protection apply three products in this order. 1. super penetrating oil 2. odies oil 3. odies wax

[@christophermaher3508]

Hey, It'd be interesting to repeat the experiment w/ everything sanded down to the same grit, maybe remove the dust w/ some mineral spirits and an air gun for safe keeping. That extra sanding on the Odie's would have most likely filled some of the pores.

[@-PORK-CHOP-]

I'm glad you had the same results as me, the Osmo is completely a waste of money, I had issues with water damage on multiple clients workpieces, contacted Osmo customer service and got zero help, I had to sand the product off and choose another finish, I don't understand how this product is sold as a floor finish as IMO it's rubbish.

[@rcrogers6]

Excellent comparison. Some folks use Zennheiser Sealer either alone or with a top coat such as spray lacquer.

[@crystalpoole1560]

I think cheesecloth would be a good thing to use to smooth on the finish. The Odie board was the best looking of all, I love the wood grain. I use a cutting board oil on my boards about once a month or so, to prevent them from drying out obviously lol. I have a couple of Paderno boards, so I take care of them. Your videos are so professional looking. Well done!!

[@bunnylovenuts8680]

I liked the music - not too loud, not too aggressive and didn't interfere with the voice-over. Good video, thanks for posting.

[@john8795]

I haven't used the others and I plan to try them, but as far as Osmo, it does continue to harden for quite a while (like 3-5 weeks, I think), and will hold up much better at that point.

[@221b-Maker-Street]

I'd planned to use Osmo on my kitchen worktop, but I can't not use them for 3-5 weeks, so I'm wondering how other people manage... 🥴

[@coreywells9498]

I haven’t used Rubio or Otey’s but have played around with Osmo trying the thin build up over three coats at first and now I trowel it on or roll it and let it soak in for an hour and then give it a buff with a rag. Two coats max depending on application. Trowel for sheets of ply pre cutting/assembly. Roller for second coat post assembly.

[@DrewBuildsStuff]

Yeah ive been playing with osmo a bit still trying to find the perfect application because it does look great. But the other two are impossible to mess up application which is nice for most quicker jobs

[@TLW71]

Great test! I've recently switched to Odie's from Osmo as I thought it was better finish, which you have proved!

[@jkimmy1978]

Thanks for making this video it really helped me out. I'm a big odies oil fan and I love walnut wood so I want to try the Rubio.

[@jediikk]

Don't tell me you didn't notice the dead fly! On oh so many shots! 😁 (also a great video, thanks for the exact comparison I was looking for)

[@DrewBuildsStuff]

Haha i did not but there’s dead flies all over our shop at that time of year so probly thought nothing of it

[@ltandrepants]

just got odie’s for the first time. can’t wait to use it! thanks for the video!

[@tmdillon1969]

It's not apples to apples but I recently tried the Osmo 2K for a speaker cabinet restoration. I used the Rubio last spring on a cabinet build. Overall I greatly preferred the Osmo 2K to the Rubio. Even using the recommended Rubio Maintenance Oil I never got the finish I wanted. Conversely, the Osmo 2K has a better sheen, better coverage, and dries much faster.

[@DOUBLE66SS]

Really cool test the only thing I would say is the Osmo oil was not properly applied, I have done may liquid tests with the polyx Oil on hardwood floors, furniture and never had water marks even leaving water on for 24 hours and not a blemish.

[@terrymattson3587]

I use Odies and it works great. I don’t know if you are supposed to use it over a stain but I do. I’m going to try their dark oils and see how that works. Thanks for the testing.

Did you end up getting their dark finish? If so how is it? I kinda want to pick up a jar. I have the original

Excellent video. Very thorough comparison. Thank you so much for doing this.

[@abkse]

Thanks for the video. Looking at all 3 of these. I used Odies on my last project sanded to 400, found the finish a bit too dull. I know they say you can sand to 2000 or something crazy, liked the application but too dull. Looking Rubio and Osmo, I appreciate the additional info from Osmo on applying and leaving full coats buff and top coat. Ill definitely try that and rubio on some future projects. Great comparisons

[@DrewBuildsStuff]

Thanks! Yes i had the same thoughts with odies. Rubio is definitely worth a try I’m using it on almost everything now

[@kevinlavigne9931]

@@DrewBuildsStuff I wonder if a second coat of Odies' with their wood butter or wax would have brought out more of sheen and provided even more protection. Seems like it would have been a more fair comparison since Odie's was the only one that had a single coat.

[@befmx31]

@@kevinlavigne9931 I just ordered those two products to give them a try......Not that anyone cares. Just thought I would chime in.

[@evernhamanderson]

I have sanded up to 1200 and then applied Odie's Oil. Buffed after a few hours then applied Odie's wax. I did this twice. The finish was like glass. Seriously worth experimenting with Odie's.

[@raindance9562]

I have had quite a bit of experience using odies oil. I find the dull finishes are sometimes from not wiping all the excess oil off. I usually do an initial wipe (2-3 hours after application) and then come back 30-45 minutes later and wipe with a dry towel again. The multiple wipe downs have proven to be beneficial. I also sand to 600 grit on wood/1000 grit wet sand rivers, which gives a glassier look. My 2 cents

[@CharlesSt-Louis]

Hello Drew, nice video! Can you try comparing oldies and livos? You have already used Livos for your exterior sauna finish and the interior, Livos makes a natural linseed oil for countertops and butcherblocks. It would be a nice video.

[@austinbasiolli2705]

Osmo is a killer product, and I have yet to see the need for more than one coat. Three seems like a complete waste, but to each their own! Just wrapped up my first project with Rubio and I can say it in fact does NOT need a second coat when applied heavy enough and with buffing after it’s specified time.

[@nafnaf0]

For an invincible clear finish, use 2 part epoxy, followed by several whisper thin coats of Epifanes High Gloss Marine varnish. It will survive in water, even full sun, and take a beating on the surface.

[@justinkayce9811]

For ease of application and the added ability to achieve protection at higher grits, Odie’s wins hands down. You get more for less coats. There no mixing of two parts, and no need for rollers or brushes as well. I like that I can sand to 1000 and still get gain penetration. This becomes even more evident when using dark or super duper. The one thing I don’t care for is how it changes the shades of lighter woods. For Maple and lighter woods, I prefer Rubio. It’s worth the extra labor required to mitigate the yellowing that I tend to get with either Odie’s or Osmo. Osmo is my least favorite. I don’t care how it is applied, water still affects it more than the other two.

[@Ogilla]

Mixing the two parts of Rubio takes 30 seconds max lol, that’s not a legit argument against the product.

[@patriciatwalsh4479]

Love the coffee table unique 😊

[@joshuamarker]

Nice stuff; methodical and organized. I appreciated the comparison, and that you went with the manufacturer directions precisely. Should you want to branch out, on my dining table I used Osmo Poly-X and took a page from a boatbuilder friend - I used a French polish technique, using a high-grit wet-sand paper and then buffing the slurry into the wood. Repeated several times - 4 or 5 coats perhaps? That table has been through a lot and doesn’t soak in any liquids. I love the hand of Osmo. But based on your video I’m going to try some Rubio on a project soon. Cheers -

[@tandtstables1]

It would be great if you tried a high gloss food safe coat and tested it. -Wondering if that would be more waterproof and scratch-resistent?

[@stede9304]

Enjoyed the video, thanks! Got a lot of info out of these comments, too. Love the look of Osmo, but it’s hard to swallow the time it takes - I could get past it for the initial finishing job, but it seems like it’d be the same story to touch up later, too. Gonna have a look at those ceramics I saw you mention that could go over Rubio.

Damage happens, the ability to repair is *almost* more important than the application! Subscribed for more! 👍

[@brianb3107]

Odies is extremely easy to repair. Just apply another coat the same way as the first. No need to sand or strip. You can apply as many coats as you want until you get the desired sheen. Each coat will add more protection as well.

[@TripleLRusticDesigns]

Very good video

[@saax3816]

How are these products different than wiping varnish? Arm R Seal offers better protection and offers the look of tung oil. I can understand the Rubio way with one coat in a day vs 3 coats in 3 days with ARS.

[@jeremydahl7552]

odies is a plant based hardwax oil. it does not have harsh chemicals. not sure about the others. but hardwax oils act like the tung oil, they fill the pores of the wood. arm r seal is polyurethane which is essentially thin layers of plastic material to make a coating. poly becomes much harder and more durable than these finishes. but the hardwax oils are a finish that give you a more nautral and close to the wood appeal.

Mineral oil alone will add no protection, although it will probably make it look nice. I suggest one of the finishes in this video or Arm R Seal (General Finishes). Hope this helps.

[@jeremydahl7552]

around a sink i would personally step up to a higher level of protection than a hardwax oil. arm r seal is a great option as mentioned. 3 coats is fine but just go for 5. if you really want it to be bombproof around a sink you can start with a product like total boat penetrating epoxy. that seals the mutha up....
