Recommendations for Wood Species

Recommended:

• Oak
• Pine
• Spruce
• Beech
• Ash
• Alder
• Douglas Fir
• Birch
• Larch

Possible:

• Maple: apply very thinly and carry out a trial application before use.
• American/European Walnut: apply very thinly and carry out a trial application before use.
• Smoked Oak: 3011 Glossy, 3032 Satin, 3065 Semi-Matt are possible. 3062 Matt is not recommended because the matting agents within 3062 are likely to react with the dark colour and result with a white powdery effect.

Not Possible:

The wood species below are not recommended for Polyx-Oil Original. Please use Osmo Wood Wax Finish Extra Thin instead.

• Cedar
• Iroko
• Mahogany
• Teak
• South American Walnut
• Sapele
• Bamboo
• Acacia
• Ipe
• Merbau
• Ebony
• Wenge
• Sycamore
• Rosewood

Also not recommended:

• Green Oak: moisture content is often above the maximum 20% recommended.
• Idigbo: contains yellow dyes which leaches when the wood becomes wet and stains when in contact within iron.
• Other woods treated with a varnish, lacquer or other surface coatings must be completely sanded before use.

Notes

• Clear oils can darken the appearance of the wood. To retain the light character of oak please use Osmo Polyx-Oil 3044 Raw.
• Some woods are highly porous and require an especially thin application, as a result the drying time can be increased.
• Ventilate well while drying. After 2-3 weeks, the surface is fully cured.
• Application of top coat of clear Osmo Polyx-Oil Original can be carried out once the first coat has dried. However, if the first coat was a coloured Osmo finish (eg Polyx-Oil Tint or Wood Wax Finish Transparent) wait approx. 24hrs before applying Osmo Polyx-Oil Original clear top coat.
• For top coating Osmo white colours use white tinted Polyx Oils ( eg: 3040 or 3240) to avoid yellowing.
• Recommended application is 35ml/m²
• For exotic hardwood species use Osmo Wood Wax Finish Extra Thin.
• A base coat of Osmo Wood Protector is recommended for use in bathrooms or kitchens.
• Multi-purpose cleaners such as washing up liquids and detergents are highly detrimental to the finished surface and is not recommended to be used as discolouration or staining may be possible.
• Other household cleaning products such as vanish, bleach, baking soda etc. are likely to cause severe discolouration or staining.
• Be cautious if applying 3062 Clear Matt over a dark coloured surface. The matting agents within 3062 may produce a white mist or powdery effect upon the surface. It is recommended to apply 3065 Semi-Matt if a sheen is not desired. Always trial apply!
