Overview

Osmo Wood Protector (4006) is suitable for any interior wood particularly susceptible to blue stain, including wooden flooring, window frames and wooden panelling in moist environments, such as bathrooms. It is also suitable for exterior wood for which an absolutely ecological, biocide-free impregnation is desired.

Please Note: This product is not recommended for use as a basecoat under products such as Osmo Polyx Oil Raw (3044) or Osmo Top Oil Natural (3068), that are designed to retain the natural, untreated finish of the wood. This product will enhance and darken the wood grain which is the opposite of what the above top coats are designed to do.

Osmo Wood Protector is compatible with all commonly used glues and putties with the exception of products containing Silicone.

Please be advised that the 125ml tins are printed in German only. For application instructions refer to the Application section below.

Preparation

Ensure the wood surface to be treated is clean, dry and frost-free (moisture content max. 18%).

New Wood

  1. New smooth or freshly sanded wood can be degreased with white spirit if required

Old Wood

  1. Old paints and lacquers must be completely removed
  2. Remove any surface traces of mould, algae or moss with a scraper or stiff brush
  3. Treat areas affected by mould, algae and moss with a suitable mould and mildew cleaner
  4. Clean old microporous (oiled) finishes thoroughly by lightly sanding and wiping down with white spirit
  5. Fill small cracks, larger joints or holes with a suitable Osmo wood filler or alternative wood filler

Application

Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times. Stir thoroughly before use and periodically during application.

  1. Apply Osmo Wood Protector generously and evenly along the wood grain with an Osmo Soft Tip Brush, Osmo Premium Microfibre Roller or a lint-free cotton cloth
  2. If possible, apply to all sides of the wood including edges and end grain before installation to offer the best all-round protection.
  3. Allow for good ventilation whilst drying

FAQ

How long does Wood Protector 4006 take to dry?

Approx. 24 hours when brushed and approx. 36 hours when dipped (under ideal conditions of 23 °C). Lower temperatures and/or higher air humidity can increase the drying time.

Can this be used on the floor and benches in a sauna to stop mould?

This is often recommended for use in a sauna and on a range of other surfaces in high moisture areas, as it is biocide free. This product stops water-ingress and offers the surface an extremely water-resistant protective layer, once correctly overcoated with one of Osmo's topcoat oils. It is free from biocides, meaning there are no active ingredients to stop mould growth but it acts as a protective layer to stop water from penetrating the timber, which if left for a prolonged period of time, can result in mould and fungal growth.

Early days, but seems fine.

Seems to do what it says on the tin. Ask me again in 15 years time and I'll let you know.

Good product that does exactly what it says.

Good product, applies easily and gives good even coverage, is very water repellent and has done the job that I purchased it for. Despite the price it is one of the few products I found, if not the only one, that did a job that I needed.

Enhances the wood beautifully and easy to apply, also dries quite quickly

Excellent

Have used on bathroom oak window board and bath panel before finishing with Osmo top oil. Gives excellent water repellency well worth using in addition to the top oil.

Joe Davies
Very Effective

I use this as a base coat prior to top oil in areas of wooden kitchen worktop subject to high water spillage next to an inset Belfast sink. I did not use it in initial application on new worktops but sanded back and used it on first maintenance. It is now routine for high moisture risk areas.

This is great for kitchen worktops!!

This works so well underneath osmo topoil for kitchen worktops. Makes it so waterproof and the topoil then lasts so much longer.

This product was perfect for protecting my oak bathroom door.

Works well

Good product for helping the wood be that little bit more waterproof !

Good.

Used this around the sink cutout edges prior to re oiling the worktop. A long drying time, but hopefully will add an extra layer of protection.

Adds a beautiful depth to mahogany

A transformational product. Use this and osmo clear and it has a depth and lustre not far off french polish. Easy to apply

Good base for waterproofing

Ideal base for treating wood exposed to humidity (such as in bathrooms)

Thin so well absorbed , quick and easy to apply

Difficult to review not having any previous experience of this product and it’s effectiveness under use , in this case on oak in a bathroom environment. That can only be concluded when I’ve seen the surface after a few months of use but generally I find Osmo products to be durable and effective.

Jan Cutler
A great product!

A year on the wood that I used this product on, which is for an oak shelf in my bathroom, looks great. I would definitely recommend this product for using on wood where there is moisture. I do, however, take care of the wood and always wipe it over with a dry cloth after it has got wet. It looks great (finished with Osmo oil).

Henry Crone
No problems.

Easy to apply and, hopefully it does what it says on the tin. No indication of how often to treat kitchen worktop surfaces.

Not used this one but used Osmo before

You get what you pay for excellent quality wood covering, only a small fault not in writing I understand

R
Richard Holt
Seems ok

Applied on bathroom and utility room doors underneath the Osmo door oil. Hopefully worthwhile, but as yet, no experience of whether it makes a difference.

Soaks nicely on work top

Our oak kitchen worktop needed that wood protector. After sanding down we put it on with soft brush and it dried nicely.

M
Mr Furber
Ideal

Used for oak bath panels prior to applying Osmo Polyx Oil Rapid. Only have to use one coat as directed, seemed to give good base for oil. Easy to apply.

Sean Hogan
Good quality product

Does what it says on the tin.

M
Marcus Gilbert
Perfect base for interior wood finish

Very easy to apply, this base coat product brings the natural wood grain and colour to life. With natural oils and waxes it nourishes the wood whilst protecting from water. Finished with topcoat product the wood comes alive.

Easy to apply

Used this as recommended before applying Osmo Top oil on worktops and an island

Brilliant around my sink

I applied this product around my sink area in my kitchen as I have wooden work tops and it protects them brilliantly. I would recommend using 2-3 coats to ensure you have enough of the product soaked in for it to do the job. I anticipate however that I will have to reapply 2-3 times a year as I do a lot of washing up! So far I'm very happy how this has protected the wood and although it's ever so slightly on the glossy side (it doesn't match the Osmo Top Oil Matt that I applied to my kitchen island), I would most certainly take this over no protection at all as I would hate for the wood to go grey from too much water saturating into it. Very impressed!

Great product

Seems to be good so far. Early days yet as it's been 4 months since we laid the floor, but judging by Osmo's great quality there's nothing to worry about!

As with all my previous osmo product purchases good quality and does the job

As stated typical good quality Osmo product does what it says on the tin if one follows the instructions

Beautiful protection

I bought this for renovating some neglected wooden doors in the house, and it's brought out the grain of the wood beautifully as well as providing protection. Took a few days for the fumes to clear fully though.

Unquestionably the best way to protect oak from wine and coffee stains.

Easy to apply (thinly), goes a long way, and unquestionably the best way to protect oak from wine and coffee stains.
