APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

By Hand with Fleece Applicator Pads

Apply 2-3 thin coats with our fleece applicator pads (best way to ensure you avoid over-application).

1. Stir the Polyx®-Oil well and pour into tray
2. Work the product into the wood thinly and evenly using the fleece applicator pad
3. Be sure to thinly and evenly coat the surface
4. Allow approx. 8-10 hours drying time. Allow for good ventilation whilst drying
5. Apply second coat and third coats following previous steps.

Cure Period: Osmo Polyx-Oil(s) like all finishes have a cure period. We recommend allowing 2-3 weeks for the surface to fully cure and harden prior to damp-mopping or placing rugs/mats on the surface.

By Hand with Scotchbrite Pads

Apply 3-4 thin coats with non-abrasive white scotchbrite pads

1. Stir the Polyx®-Oil well and pour into tray
2. Work the product into the wood thinly and evenly in figure 8 or circular motions using a white pad
3. Be sure to thinly and evenly coat the surface and leave on the surface for approx. 5 minutes
4. With a clean white pad, polish the surface ensuring no swirl marks, rings, or wipe marks
5. Ensure all excess product is removed from surface
6. Allow approx. 8-10 hours drying time. Allow for good ventilation whilst drying
7. Apply subsequent coats following the previous steps.

NOTE: Depending upon the species of wood (ie. Walnut) it may not be possible to achieve full durability and stain resistance when applying with a pad. If high durability is required (ie. Floors and Tabletops) we suggest to apply the coating using the Brush or Roller technique.

Cure Period: Osmo Polyx-Oil(s) like all finishes have a cure period. We recommend allowing 2-3 weeks for the surface to fully cure and harden prior to damp-mopping or placing rugs/mats on the surface.

With a Brush or Roller

First Coat: Apply one thin coat with an Osmo Floor Brush or Osmo Floor Roller. Our rollers have a 4.5mm nap.

1. Stir the Polyx®-Oil well and prior to use
2. Brush or roll the product thinly and evenly onto the floor.
3. Do not remove excess product, this will absorb into the wood surface over the drying period
4. Allow 8-10 hours drying time prior to proceeding to second coat

Second Coat: Roll or Brush a thin second coat

1. Brush or roll the second coat thinly and evenly onto the floor
2. Allow approximately 5-10 minutes for product to penetrate surface
3. Allow 8-10 hours drying time. Allow for good ventilation whilst drying.

Third Coat: Usually a third coat is not required, however highly absorbent or dry timbers may appear to require a third coat.

Please consult OSMO technical support at 1-844-OSMOCAN prior to carrying out a third coat

NOTE: For high quality finishes on items like tabletops, a smoother result can be achieved by lightly sanding the surface after the second coat has fully dried with P320 or P400 grit sandpaper, and then buffing in 1-2 coats with a cloth or white pad.

Cure Period: Osmo Polyx-Oil(s) like all finishes have a cure period. We recommend allowing 2-3 weeks for the surface to fully cure and harden prior to damp-mopping or placing rugs/mats on the surface.

By Hand with a Cloth/Rag

Apply 4-6 thin coats with a lint-free microfibre cloth. ie. Osmo Easy Pads.

1. Stir the Polyx®-Oil well and prior to use
2. Work product into wood using cloth in a circular or figure 8 pattern
3. Allow roughly 15-minutes for oils to penetrate
4. Working with the grain, remove all excess product from surface
5. Allow 8-10 hours drying time prior to recoating
6. Apply subsequent coats following previous steps

NOTE: Depending upon the species of wood (ie. Walnut) it may not be possible to achieve full durability and stain resistance when applying with a cloth. If high durability is required (ie. Floors and Tabletops) we suggest to apply the coating using the Brush or Roller technique.

Cure Period: Osmo Polyx-Oil(s) like all finishes have a cure period. We recommend allowing 2-3 weeks for the surface to fully cure and harden prior to damp-mopping or placing rugs/mats on the surface.

WARNING: Cloths saturated with product are a spontaneous combustion hazard and should be left out unfolded until dried, prior to disposal or preferably stored in a proper fireproof container.
