@BigCedarTableCo2 ай бұрын
Hi, great video. The osmo site has a roller application video and it doesn't mention wiping off excess. They say to leave it because it adds protection but this video suggests you wipe off the excess. Which is correct? 3 days after my second roll coat I kind of agree with you, it feels squeaky but not tacky. Just curious.
@WoodFinishesDirect2 ай бұрын
Hi, thank you! We would always encourage wiping off the excess with a lint free cloth. If too much product settles on the surface it could mark with contact and be tacky to touch. A roller does tend to put a fair amount on also, so more reason to wipe off excess. If its not tacky I would not worry too much! I hope the project goes well and if you need any further assistance please give us a call on 01303 477555

A breakfast bar table has untreated wood surface ( oak and oak veneer ) has some oil and water marks. Do we need to sand it before applying osmo polyx oil ?
@WoodFinishesDirect3 ай бұрын
Apologies for the delay in replying. You need to be very careful with veneers as oils can soften the glue that holds the veneers on and can delaminate them. It really comes down to the thickness of the veneers and the type of glue used. If you have an off cut, ideally you should do a test area. If the veneers don't delaminate during the drying time then they will be fine. And yes, you will need to lightly sand to open the grain.

@WoodFinishesDirect2 жыл бұрын
Osmo products need to be applied onto bare wood so you'll need to remove any existing finishes by sanding first and then give the wood a good wipe down with methylated spirits to degrease. (Do this also about an hour before your chosen Osmo finish is applied). You can take a look at the Osmo Polyx Oil ranges. Osmo Polyx Oil is a clear range with different sheen options that will give the wood a 'wet look' so will darken the wood like water would and will enhance the natural features and woodgrain. Osmo Polyx Oil Raw has been designed for blonde woods and will retain the natural look of the wood and dry to a matt sheen. Osmo Polyx Oil Tints are a range of tinted oil. You'll need to carry out test areas first to ensure you are happy with a finish before you proceed. Osmo sample sachets are available on our website.

You will require an additional coat of the Osmo Wood Protector on any kitchen or bathroom doors for additional water repellency and this can darken the wood slightly more than the oil alone. You only need apply the wood protector on the interior of the bathroom and kitchen, as it will be on the opposite side of the door the difference in colour will be barely noticeable. www.wood-finishes-direct.com/product/osmo-wood-protector Hope that helps!!

Thank you for your enquiry. The Osmo Polyx Oil is not suitable for exterior use. For exterior application we would recommend the Osmo UV Protection Oil. This is available in a clear (420) which will enrich the natural colours in the grain and also some light tints that will change the colour of the wood. This product will make the surface of the Pine completely water repellent, nourish the wood to minimise splitting and cracking also offer UV protection up to factor 12. This UV protection delays the greying effect that the UV light has on exterior wood. All of the UV oils are available in sample sachets and we always recommend test areas. These samples can be ordered via the Wood Finishes Direct website or please give me a call on 01303 213838 if you would like to order samples over the phone or you require any further technical information.

@WoodFinishesDirect Жыл бұрын
We wouldn't normally recommend a grain filler with Polyx Oil as it hinders the penetration of the oil. This is probably why it is sticky on the surface as 90% of the oil should be inside the grain and only 10% on top. It may also be the species of wood, if the wood is harder and denser than Oak then Osmo would recommend the Wood Wax Finish Extra Thin (1101)instead as this is a thinner oil and designed for denser hardwoods. I would recommend that you sand back to bare wood and refinish. Hope that helps!!

Does this finish yellow overtime like polyurethane? Does it need to be reapplied ever?
@WoodFinishesDirect8 ай бұрын
Yes it can yellow over time and this is due the the natural oils which it's made from. It tends to need a maintenance coat every 1-2 years depending on a few things such as how heavily trafficked the area is or if water is left on the surface for a long period of time. However, oil is one of the easiest products to maintain. As long as the surface of the wood is still in good condition, no sanding back will be required. Clear any dust, dirt and debris from the surface and simply apply a thin maintenance coat.
