Osmo Polyx®–Oil – High Solid Application Instructions

By Hand With Fleece Applicator Pads

Apply two 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 in figure 8 or circular motions using the fleece applicator pad
3. Be sure to thinly and evenly coat the surface and leave on the surface for approx. 5 minutes
4. Allow approx. 8-10 hours drying time. Allow for good ventilation whilst drying
5. Apply second coat following previous steps.

With A Brush Or Roller

First Coat: Apply one thin coat with a Floor Brush or 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

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.

Ex. For Natural (no colour change from raw wood) tint Polyx-Oil with Wood Wax Finish 3111 White at 3% for the base-coat, followed by a coat of clear (untinted) Polyx-Oil as a top-coat.

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