I prefer to apply it very sparingly with a cloth rag, and I use about a third of the amount of product as in this video. Placing a light above and behind the piece, I can look at the reflection to check for streaks and/or uneven coverage as I go. Using this approach, there is almost no excess to wipe away, and little waste. Also, the top isn't as tacky/sticky as when it is applied more liberally.

We have trialed a heap of different methods since this video. Using a buffing machine now; Next oil, we will do a video update

@@studiodubbeld7836 the buffing machine will surely help with the labor of getting a smooth finish, especially for large/many work pieces. To be clear, I was referring to the Osmo "Top Oil," not the polyx or clear wax (I've used those too, but prefer the ease of the top oil). Like salt with cooking, I can always add more as needed, until it is perfect...but it is more difficult to deal with an excess.

@@johnhernlund539 The first coat of top oil is the most important as that's the only coat where the oils are going to penetrate into the wood, so its better to apply liberally imo. Especially with a worktop where durability and resistance to liquids is important. I'd rather 'waste' a bit of product, but have a much more durable and long lasting finish.

That is awesome mate... I need to finish spotted gum shelves and this looks exactly like what I want to achieve, except being satin. Thank you for the demo 👍🏼👍🏼

Osmo recommends up to 150. Would 240 allow it to take the same?
@studiodubbeld78363 жыл бұрын
We prefer the finish that 240 gives. So we usually sand 120,180 240.

I apply with a dual sided sponge - apply with the scouring side and then wait till nearly dry and then buff with the soft side of the sponge - amazing shine after - the sponge has to be dense
