@@MattHutton I really appreciated the no shirt look! The ply looked great too, a brilliant demo for Osmo oil, thankyou!

[@MrBishbashbosh2012]

Great video, I did the same thing with the Osmo products but on redwood, I have also decided satin looked best but almost went with gloss. Ps it was slightly weird you weren’t wearing a top lol

[@MattHutton]

Awesome, haha yeah I thought it was a bit weird too.

[@NeilStansbury]

Probably a bit late now, but as you mentioned the cladding... I recently wiped on 2 coats of Rustins ebony wood dye to unfinished Larch cladding, and then finished with 2 coats of the Osmo UV Protection Oil Extra 420 with a brush and wipe off after each coat. It's an utterly stunning almost silky finish. They do a 410 variant without the biocides in for interior use, which I'm going to try on some Birch ply panels going up internally.

[@daveychainsaw5685]

Your best bet for the look you want is to do a coat of the 3044 wiped on nice and thin as any build looks like a white streak, and then follow with a coat of the satin for the sheen you like. This works really well on pine floors too and keeps them nice and pale as opposed to just putting on the satin and them yellowing.

[@MattHutton]

Ah okay nice, so the raw version first and then satin on top?

[@daveychainsaw5685]

@@MattHutton Hi, sorry, missed your reply. Yes, one coat of 3044 raw. I apply with a mirka mirlon UF pad and wipe off any excess with a lint free rag. Then one coat of the satin. Works really well.

[@MattHutton]

@@daveychainsaw5685 awesome thanks for the advice :)

[@wollymolly]

If you are trying to prevent yellow/golden tint, then RAW is your best option. I used semi-matt once on birch plywood and it gave a very obvious golden tint. The lighting in this video does not show that very well.

[@69fcortina]

Osmo usually specifically recommends against sanding to that high a grit. You end up burnishing and filling the pores of the wood, keeping the oil from absorbing properly. Can even says sand only to 150 grit.

[@MattHutton]

Great advice mate

[@bexnut]

That's for flooring - for furniture, the OSMO website states a finish of 180-240 grit is fine.

[@vnatik]

@@bexnut I am lost with those grits... So, on the worktop, can I use 180? Would you be able please to send me a reference to the Osmo website? Merci!

[@bexnut]

@@vnatik it’s a bit of a how long is a piece of string question depending on the type of wood, desired finish etc. 180 grit will be fine in most instances.

You could always listen, close your eyes and pause at the right moments :) sorry I only did this experiment once

[@michaell8835]

Excellent info, very much appreciated. Helped me to decide to go with the raw, for my application. Thank you 👍🏻

[@MattHutton]

No problem:)

[@NeilStansbury]

Most UK supermarkets sell non-abrasive cleaning pads with foam on the opposite side. Super cheap and the foam is great for wiping off any excess, like you would with a lint free cloth.

[@MattHutton]

Yes! Good thought, I didn’t think about this.

[@MattHutton]

Sorry about that

[@bexnut]

Be really careful with OSMO clear finishes (satin and matte) on birch plywood. They yellow more than the camera is picking up here, making the difference between that and untreated birch fairly drastic. I'd go with raw or polyurethane to avoid nasty surprises (from personal experience) .

[@sarahmillar9069]

Thanks for this video. I really wanted to try Osmo for my Birch Plywood desk, and couldn't decide what I needed. Think I am being persuaded to more the Osmo raw

[@MattHutton]

Osmo raw is a good option :)

[@snowinokinawa]

This was incredibly helpful Matt, thank you! I want to use the Osmo Gloss for that perfect colour & sheen on some Birch Plywood for my Vintage Workmate I’m restoring (like the one in your video)... and I was wondering, after the Osmo dries, would you recommend applying a protective top coat like a water-based polyurethane or 2pac clear or something due to the heavy use on the workmates? I appreciate your advice Matt, thanks. Nickolas

[@TomAGBrown]

Nice comparison video - what about the edges, how did they come out? In particular was there much of a difference between the Osmo oils and the polyurethane? Worried the Osmo oil finish might be a bit rougher.

[@MattHutton]

The edges come out as smooth as you sand them. I sanded them with 120 grit until they were smooth then applied the finished.

[@SP-zu4zv]

On my 1st woodwork project (a large bench) no experience & nicked all of my husband's tools 😂. ....so I was looking for a video doing exactly this. Also great idea to try the samples I always forget this option. There's so many videos on finishes but not many covering lighter woods & getting this kind of finish so big thankyou from a newbie!!😁👍🪚🪵

[@vnatik]

bare chest comes as a bonus to Osmo product review? :D I was really only looking for a product recommendations

[@KeiranWright96]

I was going to do a wet sand on a slab of oak to raise the grain then sand again to eliminate raised grain. Would this be worth while when using osmo ? Cheers

[@catalinafuentes457]

Im also installing plywood walls, and your video was great. But i have the doubt between 3041-3040 because i don’t want that the plywood turns yellowish. Did you try any other colors? Also love the shirtless style. Guapísimo

[@MattHutton]

Catalina Fuentes hey, I never tried 3041 or 3040. But from the ones I did try the Raw came out the least yellow, because it was already white in consistency. :)

[@OryxDJ]

I spoke with the importer in Holland 3044 RAW is the 3041 wich is newer. 3041 is specifically made to apply and rub out. For my wooden table sanded to grit 120 i'm also doubting to use 3040 (white) or 3041 (natural). I did a test on some oak wood and to my impredssion using one layer of coloring both are very alike. Osmo recommends if you want the white wash look (not really my style) that you can apply 2 layers of 3040 white. Si as one of the only ones you could use 3040 as finisher on the first 3040 wich will give a white wash effect. I'm thinking of one layer 3040 white (4% white) followed with a 3062 mat finish. So not wash white but just that little more white then the 3041 (1.5% white) where the white is almost not visible. They do have little testers.

[@photonchang5640]

Great comparison video! Do you sand the wood between each coating?

[@MattHutton]

No need of you used the pads

[@yourrnamee1280]

I was looking for such comparisons however, you do not zoom out to show the application vs the untreated or comparison side. It is just a super macro of your fingernails tbh

[@mikedftv]

I bought polyx based on this video, can fully confirm it does change the colour a lot. Goes a yellow honey colour even with just one very thin coat. And turns the edges a warm honey colour. Did use the pads however and it was a great application. But a lie that it hardly changes the colour.

[@MattHutton]

Hi mike, did you see the difference in colour in the video?

[@mikedftv]

Matt Hutton a slight difference. But nothing to the extreme it has turned out on. Think because your in a big lit area. It wasn’t a get at, just a warning for future potential customers.

[@MattHutton]

Mike Freeman did you polish the surface off so there was literally no material ripples left on the surface

[@mikedftv]

Matt Hutton yeah the finish is great. Nice top with the pad.

Hi Steve Hargreaves thanks :) I’m glad you’ve enjoyed watching as much as I’ve enjoyed doing the project. There must be something similar in our blood because my dad is also very much into high end hifi’s and such like, with his Namm power amp and Sara speakers. I I also had a Hager consumer unit installed in this place because it has the least detrimental effect on sounds for him. Best regard, Matt

[@mancbiker17]

Matt Hutton my favourite job was installing custom car audio systems. Trying to figure out how to fit speakers where speakers were never meant to go 😁 having to think outside the box and completely remaking something to look standard, but be totally custom. Loved doing that, though seeing customers never really appreciate just what you had had to do to accommodate them was a little disheartening 🤨

[@markkoons7488]

Like the background sound a lot, both the music itself - is that music? - and its very low level. Good decision there. Your US eBay link doesn't work but no biggy, just you won't get a few pennies. Do you suppose the relatively high % of thumbs down was for your bare chest? I think the video is useful and not annoying the way some are so thanks.
