• 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.

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.
