(9 customer reviews)

Osmo Wood Wax provides a protective layer on the surface of wood. It is made by the German company Osmo and is designed to be applied to interior wood surfaces, such as furniture, floors, and wall panelling. Osmo Wood Wax is a blend of natural vegetable oils and waxes that penetrate deep into the wood and protect it from moisture and other environmental factors. It also enhances the natural beauty of the wood by highlighting its grain and colour.
• An interior wood wax that is durable and hard-wearing.
• Water and dirt resistant.
• Enhances the grain of the wood.
• Food and child safe when cured.
• The micro-porous finish is breathable so does not crack, peel or flake.

Osmo Wood Wax Finish is made from a combination of natural oils and waxes. This interior finish is stain-resistant, water-repellent, abrasion-resistant and leaves the surface with a nice smooth feel. The micro-porous finish will not crack, peel, flake or blister. It is resistant to wine, beer, cola, tea, fruit juice, milk and water. The dry finish is safe for humans, animals and plants and is also suitable for children‘s toys. Osmo Wood Wax Transparent Tones does not mask the grain of the wood so allows the natural figuring to be visible whilst adding a protective layer and lovely colour.

How to use Osmo Wood Wax Finish

  1. The wood surface must be clean, dry and frost-free (max. 18% moisture content).
  2. Osmo Wood Wax Finish is ready to use. Do not thin and stir well before use.
  3. Clean old microporous stains thoroughly. Old paints and lacquers must be completely removed.
  4. Fill small cracks, larger joints or holes in wood with Osmo Wood Filler.
  5. Sand the wood surface carefully, begin with coarse sandpaper – final sanding work for flooring P120-150, for furniture P220-240.
  6. Remove sanding dust from the surface by sweeping or vacuuming.
  7. If possible, please apply the first coat to all sides before installation.
  8. The finished surface is influenced by several factors, including the condition of the wood. Therefore, a trial application is always required, especially for unfamiliar surfaces.
  9. Apply with an Osmo Flat Brush or lint free cloth very thinly to the clean and dry wood surface along the wood grain and spread well.
  10. For a more subtle stained effect, apply thinly with a lint-free cloth and within 20 minutes, wipe away cleanly and evenly.
  11. For maintenance, simply re-apply one coat onto the clean and dry surface when signs of wear become visible.
