Osmo Anti Slip Decking Oil (430)

Osmo Anti Slip Decking Oil is ideal for use on all exterior wooden decking boards, steps and staircases, including Douglas Fir, Bangkirai, Garapa, Massaranduba, Larch and Pine.

Osmo Anti Slip Decking Oil can be used on all decking types, including ribbed and grooved, but is especially suitable for flat or smooth decking for a slip-resistant finish.

Please Note: This product is not recommended as a 'stand alone' decking oil and should be used in conjunction with Osmo Decking Oil or any suitable garden decking preserver and primary decking oil.

On the back of the tin it suggests that this product is not suitable for use over Osmo Decking Oil. This is purely in the context of UV resistance. In terms of anti-slip, this combination of products is absolutely fine.

Decking must be clean of all dirt, debris, mold and other contaminates prior to application of Anti Slip Decking Oil. Surfaces must be dry and frost-free (moisture content max. 20%).

Old Decking

1. Pre-existing finishes that form a film or coating on the surface of the deck such as decking paint, varnish or some types of decking stain, must be removed completely by stripping or sanding back to bare wood
2. Decking should be thoroughly cleaned with Osmo Decking Cleaner
3. Decking that has turned grey or silver over time can be restored with Osmo Wood Reviver Gel to restore the timbers natural colour
4. Any holes or imperfections in the wood should be filled with a suitable exterior wood filler
5. Decking boards should be pre-treated with a wood preservative such as Osmo WR Base Coat or another suitable exterior wood preservative to protect decking against wood related diseases and wood boring insects
6. A coat of pigmented oil such as Osmo Decking Oil or Osmo Natural Oil Woodstain is recommended prior to application of Osmo Anti Slip Decking Oil

New Decking

1. New softwood decking should be weathered for approximately 4 to 6 weeks prior to applying a decking oil
2. New exotic hardwoods should be weathered in accordance with the decking manufacturers instructions
3. Then treat as "Old Decking" above

Always do a test area before starting any project to test product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times. Stir thoroughly before and during use.

1. Apply Osmo Anti Slip Decking Oil thinly along the grain using an Osmo Floor Brush and spread well
2. Work the oil into the surface of the decking
3. Allow to dry in accordance with instructions

Cleaning Equipment

After use, the Osmo Floor Brush can be cleaned using Osmo Brush Cleaner and Thinner.

Regular Cleaning

Decked areas should be swept with a stiff broom periodically, especially during the winter months, to remove any build up of dirt, leaves and other biological matter from the surface and within the grooves. To help clean the build up of mould and algae, use Osmo Decking Cleaner at regular intervals.

Renovation

To prevent the anti-slip effect being reduced on frequently used walkways, Osmo recommend that these areas are partially renovated as soon as signs of wear become visible by simply brush applying a further coat of Osmo Anti Slip Decking Oil to the affected area.

No, this is a topcoat only. 1 thin coat of Osmo Decking Oil should be applied first.
