Osmo Natural Oil Wood Stain is a transparent, satin or matt wood finish based on natural oils. It is ideal for all wood in outdoor areas such as doors, windows, shutters, carports, timber cladding, balconies, timber decking, fences, pergolas, garden furniture and summer houses. The micro-porous surface allows the wood to breathe so reduces swelling and shrinkage. It creates a water-repellent, extremely weatherproof and UV-stable surface that will not crack, peel, flake or blister. No sanding is necessary, just simply re-coat. No primer is needed, so it is an easy and seamless application. The finish contains active ingredients for the protection of the coating against mould, algae and fungal attack and has proven itself for decades and under extreme climatic conditions.

How to use Osmo Natural Oil Wood Stain

  1. Surface must be clean, dry and frost-free (moisture content max. 20%).
  2. Osmo Natural Oil Wood Stain is ready to use. Do not thin. Stir well before use.
  3. If possible, please apply the first coat to all sides before installation.
  4. Clean old micro-porous stains thoroughly. Old paints and lacquers must be completely removed. As a general rule, wear a dust mask during sanding works.
  5. If additional protection against blue stain, rot and insects is desired, pre-treat the wood if possible on all sides with Osmo WR Base Coat.
  6. Apply with an Osmo Flat Brush thinly along the wood grain and spread well.
  7. Allow to dry for approx. 4-6 hours under good ventilation, then apply a second coat.
  8. For renovation works, one coat applied to the clean and dry surface is usually sufficient.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Try to keep all dirt / leaves etc away from the wood by regularly brushing. If/When your wood surface treated with Natural Oil Wood Stain starts to show some signs of wear due to weathering and time, simply clean the area and re-coat using the same colour / product. It is usually good practice to re-coat when necessary to keep your wood and finish in good condition.

Please note

Please note that these wood oils are custom mixed in house at Priory Polishes using our Osmo tinting machine. We mix the wood oil on site to your colour specification which means we can offer our fast delivery and a full array of colours not available in many other stores. As these wood oils are tinted to order they cannot be cancelled, are non-returnable and non-refundable.

STORAGE – Up to 5 years and longer if can is kept dry and closed tightly. If thickened by frost, store for 24-36 hours at room temperature before use.

Clean tools with Osmo Brush Cleaner (free of aromatic compounds).

DRYING TIME – Approx. 12 hours (normal climatic conditions, 23 °C/ 50 % rel. humidity). Lower temperatures and/or higher air humidity can increase the drying time. Ventilate well while drying.

DISPOSAL – Dispose of leftover product and completely emptied packaging according to local official guidelines (waste code number 08 01 11). Only completely emptied cans can be recycled.

COVERAGE – 1 litre covers approx. 26 m² with one coat. Coverage depends significantly on the condition of the wood. All information refers to smooth and planed/ sanded surfaces. Other surfaces may lead to differences in coverage.

Osmo Natural Oil Wood Stain, Transparent colours are influenced by the natural colour of the wood and therefore they may deviate from the sample colours. Light transparent colour tones offer only limited UV protection; therefore they are not recommended for surfaces exposed to strong sunlight. Dried surface is at first satin-glossy and then satin. To extend the life of the coating, it is recommended to apply one final top coat of Osmo UV Protection Oil Extra 420 Clear after thoroughly drying (not recommended for White 900).

Many wood species contain water-soluble coloured extractives which may leach out naturally when weathered. All colour tones can be mixed with each other. Starting from 2.5 litres per colour tone, available in 186 RAL Classic and 1950 NCS colour tones. Transparent finishes allow the substrate to shine through. Depending on the wood species, the appearance of the colour tone may deviate from the original RAL/NCS colour tone. Osmo Natural Oil Woodstain is furnished with biocides and therefore it is only to be used in outdoor areas. The added active ingredients delay or minimize the risk of algae and fungal attack. For effective protection, two coats are to be carried out. In accordance with the latest technical research, permanent protection against algae and fungal attack cannot be provided.

Questions and Answers

Does Osmo Natural Oil Wood Stain Red Cedar have UV protection?

With Natural Oil Wood Stain, the darker the tinted colour, the stronger the UV resistance the finish will have. This is because the pigments in the wood stain add to the UV protection. 728 Red Cedar is quite pigmented so it will offer good UV protection along with a breathable finish to help reduce the risk of swelling and shrinkage of your wood. For additional UV resistance you can also apply a top coat of Osmo UV Protection Oil Clear after drying. This can be applied to all colours apart from the tinted shade ‘White’.

Is Natural Oil Wood Stain White water resistant?

Yes, the tinted shade White 900 is water repellent and weather resistant. This means you can have an unusual white wash finish on your exterior wood that is a transparent colour so you can see the grain of the wood. This finish is water repellent, weather and UV resistant. It also contains special ingredients that slow the growth of mildew, algae and fungus. This is ideal when you are trying to achieve lighter shades on your timber.

What is the best Osmo Natural Oil Wood Stain on Pine?

Osmo oil-based natural transparent wood stain has the tinted colours designed to appear in harmony with the timber that you are treating. So for Pine, it is best to treat with the tinted colour Pine 700. This will improve the wood’s appearance and natural colour. If you are wanting to darken the wood then you can add a darker shade and the more coats of wood stain that you apply, will mean the darker the timber will look.

Can you get Natural Oil Wood Stain Light Oak 732 in Matt?

Natural Oil Wood Stain Light Oak 732 is only available in Matt finish if you order from an Osmo stockist who has an Osmo Tinting Machine. Here at Priory polishes we have a tinting machine in house, so we can tint any shade including the Light Oak in either a Matt or Satin sheen.
