Instructions for use

1. Apply a very thin layer to the wood surface (you can use a sponge, oil applicator, Easy Pad, metal spatula, roller, brush or polishing machine, depending on the area you are going to cover);
2. After application, thoroughly wipe excess oil from the surface with a clean cloth or paper towel;
3. Allow the surface to dry for approximately 24 hours, ensuring good ventilation;
4. Apply the second coat evenly in the wood grain pattern with a roller or brush and leave to dry (no need to wipe off excess). Use approx. 35 ml/m². The coat dries in approx. 8-10 hours. Ensure good ventilation;
5. Corrections can be made within 30 minutes of the start of coating;
6. Clean tools with Osmo Thinner and Brush Cleaner (aromatic-free) or with white spirit.

Note: If the surface achieves the desired shade with the first coat, apply a second coat of clear Hardwax-oil. When renovating or re-oiling already oiled surfaces, one coat of oil on a clean and dry surface is usually sufficient. Apply with a roller or brush.

Drying time

Drying time – approx. 24 hours (under normal weather conditions, 23 °C temp. and 50 % relative humidity). Low temperatures and/or higher humidity may extend the drying time. Ensure good ventilation. After 2 – 3 weeks, the surface is fully mature and hardened. Oiled surfaces should be wet cleaned only after 3 weeks. Lay the tiles after 2 weeks.

Coverage

1 liter covers approximately 30 m² in one coat. The coverage of the product depends greatly on the characteristics of the selected wood. The yield given is calculated for smooth sanded wood.
