Please note –

• For high tread surfaces such as flooring, only one coat of Intensive Colour is recommended, followed by one coat of Polyx Oil Clear for maximum durability. This will offer flooring a transparent colour tone.
• For white flooring, a top coat with lightly white pigmented Osmo Polyx Oil Tints 3040 White.
• Drying time of Wood Wax Finish used on floors, approx. 24 hours (normal climatic conditions, 23 °C/ 50 % rel. humidity). Ventilate well while drying. After 2-3 weeks, the floor surface is fully cured.
• In general, intensive colour applications (two coloured coats) are not recommended for flooring due to the risk of applying too much product.
• 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.
• Applying the product too generously and insufficient ventilation lead to delays in drying time and the typical smell of oil.
• For dark and extractive-rich hardwoods (e.g. Wenge, Mahogany, Merbau etc.), we recommend applying Osmo Wood Wax Finish Clear Extra Thin. Trial application is recommended.
• Caution: Apply max. one coat thinly to cabinet interiors and drawers with a cloth.
• Using general or multi-purpose cleaners will increase the frequency of maintenance and re-coating. Allow finish to fully cure before heavy usage.
• This is a liquid base (not paste) and only suitable for bare untreated wood.

Questions and Answers

What is the difference between wood wax finish intensive tomes and transparent?

Wood wax finish transparent is used to create a natural looking finish keeping the grain of the wood still visible and in a wood coloured tone. Wood wax finish intensive is used to create a unique vibrant colour with shades such as red, blue or green and this will ask the grain with the more coats added.  You can also create a two tone effect with the intensive range.
