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

Although labelled as an exterior product, Osmo Country Colour can also be used on interior wood to good effect. The high solvent-content however means that it is very smelly when being applied. It is recommended that interior items being finished should be removed outside for application and drying. If this is not possible, windows and doors should be opened to aid ventilation.

Wood to be treated with Osmo Country Colour must be clean, dry and frost-free.

• Old paints and varnishes must be fully removed with a suitable paint or varnish remover
• Existing micro-porous finishes such as oils and stains need only be cleaned or lightly sanded prior to application of Osmo Country Colours
• Any end grain can be sealed with Osmo End Grain Sealing Wax (5735)
• Fill any holes or gaps in the wood surface with a suitable wood filler
• Any green growth should be cleaned and removed with Osmo Gard Clean
• To revive wood that has greyed in the sun, use Osmo Wood Reviver Gel (6609)
• 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 (4001)

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.

Be aware that rough sawn timber is more absorbent, meaning coverage per litre will be greatly reduced. Osmo Country Colour is ready to use straight from the tin, no thinning required. Stir well before and periodically when in use.

1. Apply thinly and evenly along the wood grain with an Osmo Soft Tip Brush, Osmo Premium Microfibre Roller or other suitable applicator
2. For exterior wood, apply first coat on all sides before installation for maximum protection
3. Allow to dry in line with the product Information on the tin or data sheet
4. Once dry, a second thin coat should be applied

Renovation

For general renovation, apply a fresh coat of Osmo Country Colour thinly and evenly in the direction of the wood grain as and when required.

Q. I want to paint an unfinished kitchen table and chairs with Osmo Country Colour but see that its labelled as an exterior product. Can i use it?

A. In short, the answer is yes. Osmo Country Colour does not contain any biocides or other chemicals that would make it unsuitable for interior furniture, doors or other interior wood. The only word of caution is that it has a high solvent content and is therefore very smelly and especially so in confined spaces. Our recommendation would be that if possible, move the table and chairs outside to paint and dry. If this isn't possible, open doors and windows to allow lots of ventilation.
