Preparation
Ensure that your wooden surfaces are clear of dirt, debris and other contaminates before applying Osmo Top Oil.
- New or previously oiled wood can be lightly sanded back to a 120-150 grit finish
- Once sanded, wipe off any dust from sanding or vacuum the surface.
Applications
Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the tin at all times. Osmo Top Oil is ready to use and does not require thinning. Stir well or shake the tin for at least one minute before use.
- Apply Osmo Top Oil thinly along the wood grain using a good quality brush or mohair roller
- Work the oil into the surface of the wood grain
- Allow to dry appropriately with good ventilation for eight to ten hours (overnight is best)
- Lightly denib the surface with 320 or 400 grit sandpaper taking care to remove all dust that this may create
- Apply a second coat as above
The grain of the wood is enhanced once this product has been applied and if the final finish is not shiny enough, buffing it with a cloth will create a sheen. Because the natural oils and waxes penetrate deeply into the surface they help to keep the wood supple thus preventing it from getting dry and brittle, therefore reducing swelling and shrinkage.
