Preparation

Ensure that wooden surfaces are clean, dry and free from dust, dirt, debris and any other contaminants prior to applying Osmo Polyx-Oil Rapid.

  1. New or previously oiled work tops can be lightly sanded prior to applying rapid oil with a 120-150 grit paper
  2. To remove existing paint or varnishes, use a paint and varnish remover
  3. White spirit can also be used to remove impurities and other contaminates from the surface of the wood
  4. Fill small cracks, larger joints or holes in wood with Osmo Interior Wood Filler or Osmo Interior Gap Sealer, then sand carefully to achieve a smooth surface
  5. Begin with coarse sandpaper - final sanding work for furniture P220-240
  6. Before oiling the surface, remove sanding dust with a broom or vacuum
  7. For wood tending to attract blue stain in moist surroundings (e.g. pine) pre-treat with Osmo Wood Protector 4006

Application

How To Apply Osmo Polyx Oil Rapid

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. Osmo Polyx Oil Rapid is ready to use but must be stirred thoroughly prior to application. Do not thin.

Application to Wood Floors

The ideal application tool is a firm, fine, natural bristled brush, however the key to a great finish is thin application with removal of any surplus.

  1. Apply the first coat of rapid oil thinly and evenly along the wood grain with an Osmo Floor Brush - use in conjunction with the Osmo Telescopic Handle for ease of application
  2. Spread well for 10-15 minutes and wipe away any excess oil
  3. Allow to dry for approx. 4-5 hours with good ventilation
  4. Lightly de-nib the surface, then clean
  5. Repeat above steps for second coat

Application to Cork floors

Cork tiles are best treated before fitting to avoid overlapping treatment of edges which would lead to prolonged drying times. A cork floor treated with Osmo Polyx-Oil Rapid will get a robust, elastic and wear-resistant surface which will harden further over 2-3 weeks. Due to the extreme absorption power of this highly elastic, natural, material we recommend the following procedure:

  1. Apply first coat very thinly with an Osmo Double Blade Scraper, or other suitable applicator for cork floors. For small projects, an Osmo Soft Tip Brush can be used
  2. Polyx-Oil should immediately absorb into the surface
  3. Leave to dry for at least 24 hours
  4. Apply second coat, again very thinly
  5. Remove excess with cloth immediately
  6. Leave to dry for at least 24 hours

Aftercare

Regular Cleaning

For daily maintenance a duster, mop or vacuum cleaner will be sufficient. For commercial premises, an electric floor polisher can be used.

For optimal cleaning of floors treated with Osmo Polyx Oil Rapid, we recommend the Osmo Floor Maintenance Kit.

For regular cleaning, we recommend using Osmo Wash and Care (8016) or Osmo Spray Cleaner (8026).

Deep Cleaning

For stubborn scuffs and stains, we recommend Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner 3029 or Osmo Intensive Cleaner.

Please Note: Oiled or waxed surfaces should not be cleaned with steam cleaners or steam mops as they can potentially degrade or strip the finish. Further more, they may also damage the floor.

Renovation

Renovating, even partially, is easy. Just clean and re-treat worn areas with a thin coat of Osmo Polyx Oil Rapid. No sanding is required, and no removal of a previous Polyx Oil finish. No repair marks will be visible if applied thinly and appropriately.

Osmo Maintenance Oil can also be used for maintaining and changing the gloss level of surfaces treated with Osmo Polyx Oils.

FAQ

Would Osmo Polyx Oil Rapid work on sanded stair bannisters and spindles?

Absolutely, Polyx Oil is often used on these types of surfaces. Ensure that the timber species is suitable for this oil before use. Why not give our Woodcare Experts a call on 01303 213838 to discuss your project in more detail.

Great product

Best finish I have found over 30 years of working with these kind of products on woodworking.

Very gloopy

When I opened the tin the oil was very gloopy and not the normal colour of other Osmo oils. Had to stir it for quite some time to get it to the same consistentcy. Added the hardener and applied as instructed. After 4 hours still very wet. It took overnight to dry. I then left it for a further 48 hours before walking on it.

Great product looks amazing on the new oak staircase. Seals and protects it whilst allowing it to breathe and look natural. Also goes a long way as you use very sparingly.

It was great all round.

It was easy to apply, I don’t think I mixed it well enough because I saw some sediment at the bottom of the can. I didn’t know exactly how to mix it, but it came out great all the same

Good product and dries quickly

Matt finish is dull/natural with no sheen so make sure you want that finish rather than satin.

Wonderful Product

Used for solid oak bath panels, 3 coats after 1 coat of Osmo Wood Protector. So glad I did my homework as was originally going to use a varnish, brilliant true matt finish that really brings out the grain. Each coat dries in 3-5 hours but I left a day between coats to be on safe side as was in no rush to complete. Highly recommended for lovely results.

Brilliant! Highly delighted wife (because the cupboard doors look so good.

Bought a 750ml tin to renovate the real oak doors on our kitchen cabinets. The units had been installed 10 years previously and were looking dull & tired. First time I had used Polyx Oil and was very pleased with the result - as good as new & much better than I had hoped for.

Easy to apply and a great finish.

This product was just what my client was looking for, all natural ingredients. The treatment was very easy to apply and we followed the instructions to the letter. When completely dry the finish was a nice soft sheen and waterproof. Wouldn’t hesitate to buy again. Thanks for everything.

Used on oak veneered doors Easy to apply, reasonable touch dry time hopefully durable finish.

Based on recommendations Used on oak veneered doors, rather than danish oil. Easy to apply with brush, reasonable touch dry time, 2 coats all that needed, only need light coat rnot flooded, really good coverage did 12 doors with 2.5 litre. Only time will tell but hopefully durable finish.

Great product at a great price

I bought this product to restore some vintage Ercol furniture. As with other Osmo products it goes on easily and gives a great finish. I would highly recommend this product but be aware it will darken the colour of the wood as if you had wet it. Osmo do another product that won’t change the colour of the wood if that is the look you’re after. The price was good and delivery very quick and well packaged.

Good product and leaves a great finish

Osmo oil is a really expensive product and there are cheaper versions available but if you want really good finish on your timber floor then this is the one to buy , used it on oak floor I laid and really pleased with the finish

Excellent used it for 15 years

Perfect for protecting doors, floors, staircases, furniture. Any natural wood you need to protect/feed yet want to allow to breathe and mature. Has a soft sheen and looks fantastic. Originally many years ago, we used it as an alternative to varnish and it has continued to be the best product on the market. Have used in umpteen restoration projects. Highly recommend.
