• Looking for a matt finish Osmo Natural Oil Woodstain - Matt
• Looking for a modern, metallic or grey effect? Try Osmo Natural Oil Woodstain Effect
• If a clear finish with extra UV protection is required, consider Osmo UV Protection Oil Extra (420)

Please Note: Using this product on rough sawn or featherboard wood will significantly reduce it's coverage.

Natural Oil Woodstain (701) Clear offers no UV protection and is therefore not recommended for wooden surfaces exposed to strong sunlight.

Ensure surfaces to be treated with Osmo Woodstain are clean, dry and frost-free prior to application (moisture content max. 20°C).

• Existing oil finishes should be lightly sanded and cleaned before application
• Existing coatings such as paint and varnish must be fully removed by sanding or stripping back to bare wood
• Remove sanding dust thoroughly from the surface with a brush or vacuum cleaner before application
• Use white spirit to degrease and remove surface contaminates if required
• Any traces of green growth or mould should be treated and removed with Barrettine Mould and Mildew Cleaner
• Fill any holes or gaps with a suitable wood filler
• Revive any greyed or sun damaged wood with Osmo Wood Reviver Gel
• Any end grain can be sealed with Osmo End Grain Sealing Wax
• If additional protection against blue stain, rot and insects is desired, pre-treat the wood, if possible on all sides, with Osmo WR Base Coat

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

1. Apply Osmo wood stain thinly and evenly along the wood grain with an Osmo Soft Tip Brush or Osmo Premium Microfibre Roller and spread well
2. Work the oil into the surface grain of the wood
3. If possible, apply the first coat to all sides of the wood before installation to offer the best all-round protection
4. Wipe off any excess oil from the surface of the wood with a clean, lint-free cloth
5. Allow the first coat to dry for 4-6 hours
6. Apply a second coat using the same method as the first

Please Note: Rough sawn timber is more absorbent, meaning coverage per litre will be greatly reduced.

The dried surface is initially satin-gloss at first and is afterwards satin. The transparent colour tone of the finish will be influenced by the wood's natural colour, causing the result to deviate from the colour shown on the colour chart. Lightly pigmented (coloured) transparent finishes have little protection against UV influences and are therefore not recommended for surfaces prone to strong sunlight.

• To increase the durability of the finish, we recommend applying a top coat of Osmo UV Protection Oil Extra (420)
• For the white Osmo Natural Oil Woodstain finish (product code 900), use Osmo UV Protection Oil Extra (429) as a top coat as this will retain the white finish. Using the standard clear UV protection oil (420) on top of the white 900 may result in a creamy or 'off-white' finish

Maintenance

If surfaces show signs of wear or a loss of weather resistance over time, simply clean and add a maintenance coat of Osmo Natural Oil Woodstain to the existing finish.

The coloured options of the Osmo Natural Oil Woodstain do offer UV protection as the pigments act as a barrier, preventing the greying effects of the sun. As the 701 Clear Matt doesn't contain pigments, it offers no UV protection.

Thermowood and Thermally Modified Timber (TMT) is prone to grey very fast and therefore application is recommended within the first two weeks after processing. Decking-Oil 010 Thermowood is optically suitable and recommended specifically for this timber

The levels of burn with shou sugi ban vary, if it's the tiger effect (not so scorched) we would recommend this product. If it's the alligator effect its likely to brittle to be oiled, we would recommend a varnish to seal it in. Give our Woodcare Experts a call on 01303 213838 to discuss your options.

You certainly can. Take a look at Osmo Natural Oil Woodstain - Matt for the matt version of this product.

As this product can achieve up to 26m² per litre, you will get roughly 10.5 m² from a 750ml tin, depending on the porosity of the timber.
