Osmo Oil Stain is a quality, coloured base coat for all wooden floors, furniture or wood around the home. Osmo Oil Stain creates a water-repellent, stain resistant and abrasion-resistant surface that is pleasant to the touch. In comparison to conventional finishes, the use of plant ingredients creates a more even colour and more harmonious appearance. The necessary top coat is to be carried out with is Clear Osmo Polyx Oil to create a microporous surface, that will not crack, peel, flake or blister.

Osmo Oil Stain is ideal as a coloured base coat for all wooden floors, such as solid wood, plank, strip, OSB and cork flooring, as well as stairs and furniture.

How to use Osmo Oil Stain

  1. Wood surface must be clean, dry and frost-free (moisture content max. 18%).
  2. Osmo Oil Stain is ready to use. Do not thin. Stir well before use.
  3. Clean old microporous stains thoroughly. Old paints and lacquers must be completely removed. As a general rule, wear a dust mask during sanding works.
  4. Fill small cracks, larger joints or holes in wood with Osmo Wood Filler.
  5. Sand wood surfaces carefully. Begin with coarse sandpaper – final sanding work for flooring grit P120-150, for furniture girt P220-240. Before oiling the surface, remove sanding dust with a broom or vacuum.
  6. Apply the Osmo Oil Stain with an Osmo Floor Brush, Microfibre Roller or Oil Finish Applicator Fleece (Hand Pad Holder).
  7. For smaller wooden areas, e.g. furniture, Osmo Oil Stain can be applied with a lint-free cloth.
  8. Apply very thinly and evenly to the clean and dry wood along the wood grain and rub into the wood with a white pad.
  9. Allow to dry for approx. 12 hours under good ventilation.
  10. You can create a more intensive colour: if a stronger colour is desired, apply a second coat thinly along the wood grain with Osmo Microfibre Roller or Floor Brush and spread well.
  11. Please note – With an unused Microfibre Roller, any brushstrokes can be removed within 30 minutes after application.
  12. Ventilate well while drying.
  13. After thoroughly drying, a top coat should be carried out with Osmo Polyx Oil Clear.

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.

Oil Stain will penetrate quite quickly therefore on thirsty woods a hand application may appear patchy. Trial applications highly recommended first. For best results, rub in to the wood with white pad. The finished surface is influenced by several factors, including the condition of the wood.

Colour tone 3501 White: An intensive white surface is not recommended for flooring because it is more sensitive and prone to natural yellowing. As a top coat for such surfaces, the pigmented Polyx Oil 3040 White or Osmo Rapid White transparent is recommended.

Colour tone 3519 Natural: A thin coat is recommended either with Osmo Microfibre Roller or Floor Brush. After drying, a coat with a clear Osmo Polyx Oil should be carried out. The natural colour tone of wood is preserved – it does not enhance the tone of wood, no permanent wet effect. This finish leaves white streaks on red/dark wood species.

CLEANING OF TOOLS – Use 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.

COVERAGE – 1 litre covers approx. 24-48 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.

For dark woods and hardwoods rich in extractives (e.g. Wenge, Merbau, Jatoba etc.), we recommend using Osmo Wood Wax Finish Clear Extra Thin. A trial application is recommended.

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.

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.

Questions and Answers

Can you recommend a finish for MDF that will provide a Black, waterproof and scratch resistant surface?

We do offer Osmo Polyx Oil Tints that comes in a black but this is a lightly tinted version. For a more intensive black you could try Osmo Oil Stain (3590 Black) and then you can add a coat of Osmo Polyx Oil Clear on top. When applying the oil stain to MDF, you do need to buff this in correctly to ensure you get an even finish. Both these options will create a water resistant and scratch resistant finish on MDF. As with all products, always test a small inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility.

Quality product but more like a paint than a stain, although still works well. Coverage less than claimed so allow a bit more than it says on tin, I used 2 liters for approx 20m2 doing three coats to get finish looking consistent.
