Osmo Polyx-Oil Effect Raw | How To Use It

The point of a hardwax oil is to fully penetrate the wood and dry inside the fiber of the wood without glazing. In most cases, people that opt for a hardwax are those people looking for a natural finish that allows the wood to breathe naturally. So to be able to penetrate the wood, the wood surface has to be sealant free or already sealed with the new Osmo Polyx-Oil Effect Raw and its surface requires a refreshing. 

Step 1: Sand up the surface up to grit 100

Step 2: Vacuum the surface well

Step 3: Apply the oil in two thin coats with 12 hours drying times between the coats

Shake the oil tin well for a few seconds to mix up the composition. In some cases the colour tint from the oil could deposit at the bottom of the tin, so a good shake will mix up the composition. Soak a cloth in it and use the cloth to oil all narrow areas. Apply enough oil to create that wet look (it will dry up matt) but remove the oil that cannot penetrate. The wood porosity is limited and when filled up, nothing else can fit in it. So any excess has to be removed in full. The surface has to look wet but not soaked. Allow 12 hours to dry (it can vary) and prepare for the second coat. The second coat will absorb less so you are likely to dramatically increase the coverage area. Job done.

Osmo Polyx-Oil Effect Raw | Recommendation

Do not walk on the surface until the surface is 100% dry. A well ventilated area will dry in a few hours. Do not wash the floor for at least 48 hours. Use only professional oiled floor cleaners from Osmo. Remember to refresh and maintain your oiled surface regularly. Areas with higher traffic will wear off faster.
