Bare wood species with a high content of natural wood extractives need to weather off (min. 4 weeks) before the initial treatment or be cleaned with Osmo Brush Cleaner and Thinner (degreaser). Application was easy with the long handled brush I bought at the same time. The oil appeared to soak in well, even the second coat and it gave a nice satin like finish. Too early to comment on durability but I intend to apply again before the winter. The great benefit over the wax based product I’ve used for years and which went patchy in exposed areas is that I’ll just be able to apply more oil without stripping it when needed. By working with a variety of trusted Range Plus Partners, we’re able to offer our customers a wider selection of products.

Many wood species contain water-soluble coloured extractives ( eg Larch ) which may leach out naturally when weathered. Weathered, bare wood surfaces can be refreshed with Osmo Wood Reviver Power-gel.P101 If medical advice is needed, have product container or label at hand.P102 Keep out of reach of children.P103 Read carefully and follow all instructions. If possible, and if the wood is absorbent please apply the first coat to all sides before installation. Protect interior and exterior wooden surfaces with the unrivalled durability of wood varnishes. A great range of clear and coloured formulations.

A range of interior and exterior wood oils suitable for any project and wood type. Includes traditional wood oils, Hardwax oils, wood oils with UV filters and more. Resinous wood, such as Larch or Douglas Fir, needs to weather off for at least 6 weeks to improve absorbency. Pressure impregnated wood and tropical species like Massaranduba, Bangkirai, Garapa, Iroko need to weather off for at least 3 months. Cedar requires a 3 month weathering period to improve absorbency. The final colour finish can vary considerably due to the age, type & condition of the timber being treated. We always recommend carrying out a test area first in an inconspicuous area to make sure you are happy with the final dried colour.

Ipe: 6-8 weeks exposure. 006 Bangkirai is optically suitable and a very popular choice of colour tone. Thoroughly clean or lightly sand old microporous stains or completely remove old varnishes before application. If any sanding works are carried out some fresh wood species must be weathered as directed above to improve absorbency once more. Sanding to finishing grades of no more than a P120 grit are recommended. Always wear a dust mask when sanding. Start in the furthest corner, brushing along the length of the boards. Work on 3-4 boards at a time so you don’t get any overlap marks. Due to their surface properties, ribbed or grooved as well as rough (sawn) wood surfaces absorb more product per square metre than smooth surfaces.
