Instructions

Surface Preparation

• Wood surface must be clean, dry and frost-free (moisture content max. 18%).
  Osmo Wood Wax Finish Clear Extra Thin is ready to use. Do not thin. Stir well with a flat stirring stick or spatula before use.
  Clean old microporous stains thoroughly. Old paints and lacquers must be completely removed. As a general rule, wear a dust mask during sanding works. Fill small cracks, larger joints or holes in wood (with Osmo Wood Filler).
  If possible, please apply the first coat to all sides before installation.
  Sand wood surfaces carefully. Begin with coarse sandpaper – final sanding work for flooring 120-150, for furniture P220-240. Before oiling the surface, remove sanding dust with a soft brush  or vacuum.
  The finished surface is influenced by several factors, including the condition of the wood. Therefore, a trial application is always required, especially for unfamiliar surfaces.

Method Of Application

• Osmo Wood Wax Finish Clear Extra Thin can be brushed, wiped, dipped or sprayed in an enclosed unit.

   

• 1st coat: Apply thinly along the grain with an Osmo flat brush or lint free cloth (for furniture). Maintain a wetted surface to feed the wood for 30 minutes. Avoid allowing the product to dry. After 30 minutes, wipe away any excess product with a lint free cloth. If necessary, re-apply to unsaturated, thirsty areas then wipe away excess before drying. Provide good ventilation for drying.

   

• 2nd  coat: Please follow the same process as the 1st coat.  Avoid covering during drying and curing. After 2-3 weeks, the surface is fully cured.

   

• Recommended number of coats: one coat for furniture / two coats for flooring and worktops.

   

• For renovation works, one coat applied to the clean and dry surface is usually sufficient.

Care

• Regular Cleaning: Dust mopping using the green Dust-Mop from the Osmo Mop Cleaning Kit for Floors. Damp mopping using Osmo Wash and Care or Osmo Spray-Mop.

   

• Occasional Maintenance: Intensive spot cleaning of scuff marks and refreshing using Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner.

   

• Recoating: Simply re-apply one coat onto the clean and dry surface when signs of wear become visible.

Note

• Oils enhance the natural tone of wood (permanent wet effect). Applying the product too generously and insufficient ventilation lead to delays in drying time.
  Caution: Apply max. one coat thinly to cabinet interiors and drawers with a cloth.

   

• Using general or multi-purpose cleaners will increase the frequency of maintenance and recoating. Allow finish to fully cure before heavy usage.
