WOOD WAX FINISH BY HAND WITH A CLOTH/RAG
Transparent (1-coat): Apply a thin coat with a lint-free cloth.
- Work product thinly and evenly onto wood using cloth
- For a more solid colour, ensure product is applied evenly, then proceed to step 5
- For a subtle effect: allow roughly 15-minutes for oils to penetrate and then proceed to step 4
- Working with the grain, remove all excess product from surface with a clean lint-free cloth
- Allow 8-10 hours drying time. Allow for good ventilation whilst drying.
- For flooring, a top coat of Polyx®-Oil 3054 is required for added durability against wear and stains
Intensive (2-coats): Apply two thin coats with a lint-free cloth.
- Once first coat has dried (8-10 hours) apply a second thin coat for a solid colour
- Allow 8-10 hours drying time. Allow for good ventilation whilst drying.
- Two coats is not recommended for high-wear surfaces like flooring
BY HAND WITH A FLOOR BRUSH
Apply two thin coats with an Osmo Floor Brush or Osmo Natural Bristle Brush for smaller areas.
- Apply with the brush thinly along the wood grain on the clean and dry wood surface
- For a subtle glazing effect, apply thinly with a cloth, and within 20 minutes wipe away excess
- Allow 8-10 hours drying time before recoating. Allow for good ventilation whilst drying.
- Apply second coat following the previous steps
- Clean brush with Osmo Brush Cleaner and Thinner (benzene-free) or Turpentine
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
BY HAND WITH A FLOOR ROLLER
Apply two thin coats with an Osmo Microfibre Floor Roller.
- Stir the Wood Wax Finish well and pour into tray
- Take the Microfibre Roller and roll well on the grid of the tray
- Roll very thinly and evenly onto the wood following the grain
- Allow 8-10 hours drying time before recoating. Allow for good ventilation whilst drying.
- For flooring, a top coat of Polyx®-Oil 3054 is required for added durability against wear and stains
- Clean roller with Osmo Brush Cleaner and Thinner (benzene-free) or Turpentine
Tip: The microfiber roller should only be saturated lightly. A lightly saturated roller will allow the user to cover approximately 43-53 ft2 (4-5m2) of flooring. Please be aware that Osmo Wood Wax Finish has a high yield (see product label). Product excesses and roller tracks must be roller or smoothed out immediately.
MECHANICALLY WITH A FLOOR BUFFER
Apply one thin coat with an Osmo FloorxCenter or floor-buffing machine.
- Stir the Wood Wax Finish well prior to use.
- Trowel the product thinly onto the floor using an Osmo Double Sided Scraper or similar.
- Disperse and polish the floor using a floor buffer and white pads.
- There is too much material on the surface when you can see rings. Turn the pad over.
- Allow 8-10 hours drying time. Allow for good ventilation whilst drying
- In order to protect the pigments, 1-coat of clear Osmo Polyx®-Oil is necessary as a top coat
Tinting: Osmo Wood Wax Finish can also be used to lightly tint Polyx®-Oil 3054 up to a ratio of 10:1. Do not exceed a ratio of 10 parts Polyx®-Oil 3054 to 1 part Wood Wax Finish.
