Application
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 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 broom 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.
METHODS OF APPLICATION
Osmo Wood Wax Finish Clear Extra Thin can be brushed, wiped, dipped or sprayed in an enclosed unit.
Apply evenly along the wood grain with a brush or a lint-free cloth (e.g. for furniture).
1st coat: apply thinly. Allow to dry for approx. 30 minutes under good ventilation. Wipe away any excess product. Reapply to unsaturated areas.
2nd coat: apply thinly. Allow to dry for approx. 30 minutes under good ventilation. Wipe away any excess product.
Recommended number of coats: one coat for furniture / two coats for flooring. For renovation works, one coat applied to the clean and dry surface is usually sufficient.
DRYING TIME
Approx. 12 hours (normal climatic conditions, 23 °C/50 % rel. humidity). Lower temperatures and/or higher air humidity can increase the drying time. Ventilate well while drying.
COVERAGE
1 litre covers approx. 24 m² with one coat. Coverage depends significantly on the condition of the wood. All information refers to smooth and planed/ sanded surfaces. Other surfaces may lead to differences in coverage.
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.
