Overview

Overview

Back

Osmo Polyx Oil Raw (3044) forms part of Osmo's range of interior finishing oils and offers the same unrivaled protection as the original Osmo Polyx Oil.

New untreated wood in its original form has a light, pale character from its natural 'raw' appearance. Sanded wood also has this effect. Osmo Polyx Oil Raw is designed to retain this appearance by using a small amount of white pigments to counteract the darker 'damp-look' that develops after application of a clear oil or varnish finish.

Please Note: All other oils in the Osmo range will give a darker look than Osmo Raw. This is what sets it apart, as it really gives that natural, untreated look. Please be advised that 125ml tins are printed in German only.

Before opening the 5ml sample sachets, squeeze the packet several times to ensure that the oil, wax and resins inside are thoroughly mixed.

Preparation

Preparation

Back

Wood surfaces must be clean, dry and free from dust, dirt and any other surface contaminants prior to application of Osmo Polyx Oil Raw.

  • Existing oil finishes should be sanded back to clean, bright wood before applying Osmo Polyx Oil Raw
  • Varnishes or paints must be fully removed by sanding or stripping to expose clean, bare wood
  • Sand carefully before application starting with a coarse paper - final sanding for flooring P100-150, for furniture P120-180
  • Remove sanding dust thoroughly from the surface with a brush or vacuum cleaner before applying Osmo Raw
  • Use methylated spirit to degrease and remove surface contaminates if required
  • To repair dents or holes in the wood, use Osmo Interior Wood Filler or Osmo Interior Gap Sealer or other suitable wood filler
  • To keep the natural appearance of bare wood, surfaces to be coated with Polyx Oil Raw should not be treated with Osmo Wood Protector 4006 first as this will darken the appearance of the wood

How To Apply Osmo Polyx Oil Raw

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. For the best results, allow the oil to warm to room temperature and stir thoroughly before and during application.

  1. Apply Osmo Polyx Oil Raw thinly and evenly along the wood grain with an Osmo Soft Tip Brush, a sponge or a lint-free cloth, working the oil into the surface of the wood
  2. Larger areas can be finished using the Osmo Floor Brush or other suitable floor finish applicator
  3. Allow for good ventilation when applying and whilst drying
  4. Apply second coat in the same manner as the first once the first coat has fully dried
  5. For cupboards, wardrobes and drawers, only 1 thin coat should be applied

Please Note: Over application will result in a 'white wash' finish and in the worst cases, white swirls, brush marks and a sticky or tacky surface. On dark/reddish wood species, Osmo Raw is likely to produce a slightly 'milky' finish.

Cleaning and Maintenance

For daily maintenance a duster, mop or vacuum cleaner will be sufficient. An electric floor polisher can be used but instructions for oiled floors must be followed carefully. Floors treated with Osmo Polyx Oil Raw can be cleaned with Osmo Spray Cleaner or alternatively, a small amount of water and Osmo Wash And Care. For stubborn scuffs and stains, a very thin coat of Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner White (3087) can be used.

Repair

Localised areas that have become scratched, scuffed or worn can be quickly and easily repaired.

  1. Clean the affected area to ensure that it is free of surface dust and debris.
  2. Lightly rub with an abrasive pad such as a 'Scotch Pad' or a P120 - P150 sandpaper
  3. Remove any traces of sanding dust from the wood
  4. Re-apply a thin coat of Polyx Oil Raw to the affected area for an invisible repair.

F.A.Q.

F.A.Q.

Back
Is this recommended for sandblasted or rough wood?

Probably not because the small content of white pigment in this product tends to collect in the grooves and other rough areas of the wood to show through more.


I've heard this product can produce a white look, is this true?

THIN application is very, very important. If too much is applied then the small amount of white pigment in this product can remain on the surface to give a patchy or milky appearance. The product needs to be worked into the wood so that very little remains on the surface. Also the darker the wood is (prior to application) the more likely the white residue is to remain. Whilst some people don't want the slight white look, others find it quite desirable


Can i use a steam cleaner or steam mop to clean my oiled floor?

In short, 'No'. Oiled and waxed finishes on floors are 'Micro-porous' which means that although the wood is protected, it can still breath as it is not completely sealed.

Cleaning oiled or waxed floors with a steam cleaner or steam mop introduces high temperature and pressure water which can penetrate and strip oiled or waxed finishes. Steam cleaners can also potentially damage wooden flooring.


Can Polyx Oil Raw be used on solid doors?

Although you could use this on solid doors, we would instead recommend Osmo Door Oil 3033 . This will give you a similar look as it is also designed to keep the light appearance of timber. This is specifically designed for doors as wax content in this product helps with the resistance of finger marks.


Can Osmo 3044 be used on MDF?

Absolutely, just be aware that MDF tends to be a very porous substrate so the Polyx Oil with soak in well, meaning you may use more than the usual coverage allows. Try a test area before completing the project.

Excellent product
We bought a 2nd hand oak coffee table and it right down. We didn't want to use anything that would change the colour. The Osmo Polyx Oil Raw did exactly what we wanted - a layer of protection without a colour. I was worried that the 125ml tin which was quite expensive might not have been enough, but we had enough for 2 coats (table has a lower shelf) and we have a bit left over. 100% recommend.

Gives a beautiful finish
You need to be careful not to apply too thickly (or it leaves a cloudy residue) - but if you're careful, it produces an incredible finish.

Easy to apply Osmo oil, brings out wood grain
The raw Osmo oil has brought out the grain on American White Oak beautifully. Use very sparingly to avoid streaks. Research carefully on how to apply before doing so. Excellent product.

Fine

High quality product
I wanted a wood finish that doesn't yellow or darken a carving made from creamy white holly. Osmo raw was recommended to me and it worked perfectly, but the white pigmentation that's part of the finish needs to be wiped off to not leave streaks, but I guess that's the effect some people want. So for what I wanted I needed to wipe on the finish very thinly to get the effect I wanted, and when I did that it worked perfectly

Fantastic product
If you want to take the natural orange colour out of pine then this is perfect. I used it on our Victorian pine floor boards and we now have ‘natural’ light coloured boards, which look fantastic.

Perfect finish
All our engineered wood flooring was re-sanded and finished with 2 coats. The result is perfectly light natural wood with no reflections. Absolutely delighted.

Excellent internal wood finish
This product was recommended by the Wood Finishes Direct team for a small internal wooden ceiling. It was easy to apply, even overhead. With the two recommended coats it gave exactly the effect we wanted. Very pleased

Does what it says
Youtube'd how to use this product and the best type or brush to use. Goes on well, spreads evenly and very easy to use. Left the first coat for 48hrs, to check the shade and drying time. This isn't necessary but wasn't sure if I wanted another coat as some reviews advised their piece of furniture stained with a white finish. Decided to go for it to protect the tabletop and the shade didn't really change or turn white. Delighted with the finish.

White wash look
I was told this the finish would be as if the wood was wet (before applied) . The oil is white and does dry with a slightly white wash finish. I did a dining table and chairs and in some of the nooks of the chairs you can see it has dried white instead of transparent.
