Osmo Wood Wax Finish Intensive

Osmo Wood Wax Finish Intensive is ideally suited for use on all indoor wood surfaces, including (but not exclusive to) wooden wall panelling, mouldings, beams, doors, as well as wood in moist environments, such as kitchens and bathrooms. It is also suitable for edge-glued panels, chipboard & MDF, children's toys and as a coloured primer for wooden flooring, as well as for re-coating darkened wood surfaces.

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

• For an alternative range of translucent wood tone colours, consider Osmo Wood Wax Finish Transparent
• For a clear finish on dense exotic hardwoods, we recommend Osmo Wood Wax Finish Extra Thin (1101)

Please note: In general, one coat produces a translucent matt finish whilst 2 coats produces an opaque finish with a slight sheen. This may vary depending on the wood type and how it has been sanded. For this reason, we always recommend doing a test area before starting any project.

The 'White Matt' version of this product (code 3186) is designed to produce a completely 'matt' finish.

Ensure wooden surfaces to be treated are clean, dry and free from dust, dirt and any other surface contaminants prior to application of Osmo Wood Wax Finish Intensive .

• Clean old microporous stains thoroughly
• Old paints and lacquers must be completely removed
• Sand the wood surface carefully, beginning with coarse sandpaper - final sanding work for flooring P100-150; for furniture P180-240
• Before applying wax finish on wood, remove sanding dust from the surface by sweeping or vacuuming
• Fill small cracks, larger joints or holes in wood with Osmo Interior Wood Filler or Osmo Interior Gap Sealer
• For additional protection against blue stain, rot and mildew, pre-treat with Osmo Wood Protector (4006)

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 use and allow for good ventilation while drying.

1. Apply Osmo Wood Wax Finish Intensive very thinly to the wood surface, along the wood grain, with an Osmo Soft Tip Brush, Osmo Premium Microfibre Roller or sponge, and spread evenly
2. For a more subtle stained effect, apply thinly with a lint-free, cotton cloth and within 20 minutes, wipe away cleanly and evenly
3. For high traffic/wear areas such as floors, table tops and desks, apply only 1 single coat of Wood Wax Finish Intensive, then protect with the harder wearing top coat of clear Osmo Polyx Oil. Alternatively, try Osmo Polyx Oil Tints White (3040) or Osmo Polyx Oil Raw (3044) for a non-yellowing finish.
4. For furniture and low wear areas, apply 1 thin coat to achieve a matt, semi-translucent effect, or 2 coats for a stronger satin-matt shade that blocks the wood grain

Regular Cleaning

Light marks and dirt can be removed by cleaning the affected surface with a mixture of water and Osmo Wash And Care.

Alternatively, Osmo Spray Cleaner (8026) can be used.

Repair

For light scratches, use Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner. If marks go deeper into the wood then a light sanding is required before applying a further coat of Osmo Wood Wax Finish Intensive to the affected area.

This can be used on flooring but only 1 coat should be applied. A 2nd coat of the more durable Osmo Polyx Oil should be applied over the top.
