Osmo Polyx Oil Tints is an exceptionally good hard wax oil stain that is used to colour your wood before finishing with their well known Polyx Oil Clear. This creates a high quality, protective, tinted finish for use on most interior wood surfaces. It is scratch and scuff resistant, protects against liquid spills and does not crack, flake, peel or blister.
Once your surfaces have been treated with Osmo Polyx Oil, it is recommended to use the surface as little as possible for around 1 week to fully cure. It is not recommended to regular household cleaners as they are not designed to clean oiled wooden surfaces and can damage them over time. Remove dust and dirt by vacuum cleaner or broom. For regular daily cleaning on wood floors, it is recommended to use Osmo Wash and Care. Simply add the Wash and Care to water and clean the floor with a damp (not wet) mop and wipe dry immediately. For wood surfaces like furniture or worktops use Osmo Spray Cleaner as this will clean your wooden surfaces without removing any oils and waxes, so will not dry the wood out. This will also remove many minor marks. It is also recommended to dust on a regular basis using a plain lint free cloth. If you accidentally scratch or damage the finish, you can either lightly sand the affected area and re-apply the same wood oil that you originally used. For lighter marks or scuffs, this can usually be cleaned by using Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner.
We offer all colours
Alternatively, choose a colour from the UV Protection Oil standard colour range as seen below, such as 425 Oak and 428 Red Cedar.
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.
If using the colour, Polyx Oil White 3040 – do not use the Clear Polyx Oil over the top as this can change the colour to a darker shade. For white, Osmo recommends that you finish using Osmo Polyx Oil Raw (3044).
It is important to ensure good ventilation during application and drying.
The coverage is up to 30m² per litre.

This tinted wood finish is suitable for the following woods –
● Oak
● Pine
● Spruce
● Beech
● Ash
● Alder
● Douglas Fir
● Birch
● Larch
As with all Osmo oils, they start off with a clear base. This clear base is then tinted to the desired sheen. The front will display the colour name with a white sticker. This can also be confirmed by the sticker on the under side of the tin. This sticker on the underside of the tin will display the base used and also the chosen colour. The word transparent simply means you can still see the grain of the wood as it is a transparent finish (not opaque).
Yes this tinted shade is ideal to add some warmth and protection to your Oak flooring. Polyx Oil honey is one of the most popular shades as it is a warmer tone that seems to work on all projects from floors, doors, furniture and much more.
Yes this wood oil works perfectly on Pine along with most other woods. With Pine you may have to do an extra coat of oil depending on how dry the Pine is. As Pine is a soft wood, it will soak in the oil more, so this is why we recommend to get the desired colour and then finish with a top coat of Polyx Oil Clear as an added protection.
Yes we do offer this in gold and silver effects, this can be seen on our Polyx Oil effect listing here. Osmo Polyx Gold is used to create a decorative finish on dark wood surfaces usually used as a top coat on a darker Polyx Oil Tint. It will not work very well on lighter woods, as you will struggle to see the effect of the gold. On darker tinted woods, the gold will sit within the grain and create a unique effect.
With the tinted colour 3040 White you can add a final coat of Clear to protect the surface but you can not use the normal Polyx Oil Clear. With this shade, you need to seal the tint with Osmo Polyx Oil Raw 3044. This way you will keep the white tinted shade without darkening the surface. It is always best to apply a coat of White with a brush and wipe away any excess with the Osmo Easy Pad. This way you can control the colour and get a more even finish. I would then apply a second coat of White and wipe away the excess. If you are then happy with the colour, you can leave it as the finish will be quite robust. If you do want to add a coat of Raw, this also has some white pigment in, so it may add more White to your finish but will add additional protection. I think after the two coats of White, just judge the colour first to see if you are happy or if you want a slightly more white pigment applied via the Raw.
Yes we now offer all the tinted colours in a 125 ml sample pot and because we have an Osmo mixing machine in house, we can tint any colour and in any sheen. We are one of the only UK suppliers who offers all sample colours in either Satin, Semi Matt, Matt or Glossy.
As all Polyx Oil Tints offer a transparent finish, it will not mask the grain of the wood. You will get the darker graphite shade but you will still be able to see the grain of the wood and this is why Osmo Oils are such good quality as you get a superb tinted finish but still keep the natural look of the timber.
The approximate average coverage for a 750ml tin is 18m² with one coat. The 2.5L tin approximately covers 60m² with one coat. It is best to apply one coat of Polyx Oil Tints to flooring. (Not applicable for Polyx Oil Tints 3040 White, see Notes above.) and after thoroughly drying, apply a top coat with a Clear Osmo Polyx Oil. Once you have applied your final coat, avoid covering during drying and curing and be careful with overuse. After 2-3 weeks, the surface will be fully cured to a very durable finish.
