Osmo Polyx Hardwax Oil Effect Raw

Wood surfaces must be clean, dry and free from dust, dirt and any other surface contaminants prior to application of Osmo Polyx Oil Raw.

• Existing oil finishes should be sanded back to clean, bright wood before application of Polyx Oil Raw
• Varnishes or paints must be fully removed by sanding or stripping and taken back to the bare wood
• Sand carefully before application starting with a coarse paper – final sanding for flooring P100-150, for furniture P180-240
• Remove sanding dust thoroughly from the surface with a brush or vacuum cleaner before applying Osmo Raw
• Use white spirit to degrease and remove surface contaminates if required
• For repairing small dents or holes in the wood, use Osmo Interior Wood Filler, Osmo Interior Gap Sealer or the Osmo Repair Kit
• To keep the natural appearance of bare wood, surfaces to be coated with Polyx Oil Raw should not be treated with Osmo Wood Protector 4006 first as this will darken the appearance of the wood

How To Apply Osmo Polyx Oil Raw

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. For the best results, allow the oil to warm to room temperature and stir thoroughly before and during application.

1. Apply Osmo Polyx Oil Raw thinly and evenly along the wood grain with an Osmo Soft Tip Brush, a sponge or a lint-free cloth, working the oil into the surface of the wood
2. Larger areas can be finished using the Osmo Floor Brush
3. Allow for good ventilation whilst drying
4. Apply second coat in the same manner as the first
5. For cupboards, wardrobes and drawers, only 1 thin coat should be applied
