The door oil is designed to soak into the wood but if you leave a lot of excess oil on application, this can dry with runs. It is always best to wipe away any excess oil using a lint free cloth during application. To remove the runs that have dried onto the wood, it can sometimes be difficult without sanding back to the bare wood but there are a couple of things you can try. First try to lightly sand the area with fine sanding paper back to a smooth finish. Then re-coat with the door oil again in the affected area. You can also try to remove runs using Osmo Brush Cleaner and Thiner. Wipe over the wood surface to remove as much as the run as possible. Once dry, you will have to lightly sand the wood and then re-oil.

Yes, Osmo Door Oil 3060 has been specially designed for use on Oak veneered doors. This oil has very low solvents in the ingredients so it will not affect the glue under the veneer unlike many other wood oils. This low solvent door oil reduces the risk of damaging the veneer upon application.

A 1 litre tin will cover approximately 24 m square with one coat. It is recommended to allow 2 m square per side on a door and two coats per side of oil. So in total you will need to use approximately 8 m square per door. This means a 1 litre tine will complete approximately 3 doors in total with two coats of oil on both sides. This is a very approximate guide as the second coat is usually a lot thinner application so quite often a 1 litre tin will actually complete 4 doors but it depends on how dry your wood is to how well the oil soaks into the wood.

It is always best to apply two coats of door oil. Apply the first using a flat brush as this will add a good coat of oil to protect the timber. Apply the second coat very thinly using an easy pad or lint free cloth as this will finish with a nice smooth coat. It is best to always apply the oil in the direction of the grain.

If your doors have had a wax finish applied in the past, then you can not apply the door oil on top as it will not penetrate into the wood correctly. This can lead to a patchy finish and can react with the wax finish. To use the door oil, you would have to remove any previous finish back to the bare wood before applying. If you just want to refresh an existing wax finish, then we do offer a large selection of Wood Wax and we find the Fiddes Supreme Wax is a very good product to do this.

If possible it would be best to oil your doors before they have been hung. This is because you can apply the door oil laid down flat and this will ensure a more even finish with no drips. You can still treat the doors whilst hung, you just need to ensure you wipe away any excess oil after application with a clean lint free cloth. Always apply thinly and evenly to achieve the best finish.
