Osmo Wood Wax Finish Clear Extra Thin is suitable for a wide range of hardwood interior surfaces, including wall and ceiling paneling, wooden flooring, furniture and kitchen worktops. Due to its water-repelling qualities, it is especially well suited for use in wet / moisture-rich environments, such as kitchens and bathrooms.
Before opening the 5ml sample sachets, squeeze the packet several times to ensure that the oil, wax and resins inside are thoroughly mixed.
Wooden surfaces to be treated with Osmo Wood Wax Finish 1101 must be clean and dry with a moisture content of no more than 20%. Because dense exotic hardwoods tend to be oily in nature, we recommend that surfaces to be oiled are de-greased with methylated spirit and a lint-free cloth prior to application to help with the absorption.
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. This product can be brushed, wiped, dipped or spray applied.
Recommended number of coats: 1 coat for furniture / 2 coats for flooring.
Surfaces treated with Osmo Wood Wax Finish Extra Thin should be dry wiped from time to time with a soft, lint-free cloth. To remove day to day, dust, dirt, scuffs and light marks use Osmo Spray Cleaner.
Alternatively, surfaces can be cleaned at regular intervals with Osmo Wash and Care (8016).
For more stubborn marks, light scratches or if the surface is starting to look tired or worn, an application of Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner may be required. For intensive cleaning, without sanding, use Osmo Intensive Cleaner.
For renovation of previously oiled surfaces, apply 1 thin coat of Osmo Wood Wax Finish Extra Thin to clean, dry surfaces - no sanding required.
This is usually down to the oil not being able to penetrate through which can be caused by over application or something blocking the wood grain. Iroko has a tight grain to it, it is likely that the fine sanding has blocked this grain. Ideally, we would not recommend going higher than a 120 /150 grit finish on this type of timber.
To remedy the problem now, you would need to deal with the root cause. It is unlikely that the oil will dry properly as it is sat on the surface rather than in the wood grain. Sand the surface back using a 120-150 grit and wipe the surface with Barrettine Methylated Spirit. Apply a very, very thin coat of oil, keep pulling this out as far as it will possibly go and remove any surplus from the surface using Woodleys Microfiber Cloth The surface should then be left to dry for 12 hours.
Absolutely, the Osmo Wood Wax Finish Extra Thin 1101 is specifically designed to enhance and protect oily hardwoods with a tight wood grain. Two thin coats is all that is needed after the flooring has been degreased with Barrettine Methylated Spirit.
