Wood wax provides a subtle translucent sheen or a more solid colour with two coats. I apply it with a brush to achieve a varied finish and have just used this on my softwood stair treads. I'm delighted with the result which looks like beached wood.
So far seems to be good for the application but propose to do a second coat.
Samples too small and packets make it messy and difficult to keep for a second coat.
We have used Osmo products for many years & are never disappointed. Once you start to use them ( sparingly is the key ) they are easier to apply than usual paints, less harmful to man & the environment & give a beautiful finish to the wood.
I thought it would have a more glossy finish than it does.
Takes a bit of elbow grease to apply although I did it using a lint free cloth. It looked quite white when I’d finished but the next day it appeared lighter with the wood showing through - this is the effect I wanted so didn’t apply another coat. Finished it with two coats on Matt Osmo Polyx oil. It’s beautiful
No reflection on the product, but for my personal preference it is too close to white for me. I also bought this in pebble which was much better for my project.
Gives a nice matt finish in a nice off white tone. Can’t say much more as I have only used it as a sample to test the colour.
First time using the intensive finish and it did not disappoint. Really pleased with the overall effect and colour. Used to renovate furniture and found one coat more than adequate.
Easy to use , make sure room not too warm when applying .. spreads thin as you like also worked well with a cloth for washed out look .
Loved using this. Very thin coat. Just be aware of drying time. You have to leave it long enough to dry . You can’t rush it.
Firstly I used the osmo pebble 3181 intensive On a pine dining table I made, and finished with the raw 3044 top oil to protect, both product really nice to use. I applied with a mohair roller head and pad out with brush. Fantastic results
Osmo is the best wax oil Ive used, goes on really well and the finish is tough
It was on a difficult base and needed 4 coats. I was apprehensive it might resemble a paint and to some extent it did, but not so it detracted from the effect I set out to achieve. I used a microfibre roller and hake brush for corners and brushing out. I find it surprising how much pigment this hard wax oil can carry. I have used Mixol pigments fairly successfully with other hard wax oils but this product is in a different universe. Methanol is the only medium with which I have achieved this degree of colour density using Mixol. That needs to be stabilised with 2 coats of clear oil. And that distances the colour to some extent.
Thank you for sending in some feedback on this product. This particular oil is a high pigment product, which as a result is slightly less durable than that of the Polyx Oils, which have a lower pigment content. This is of course for projects that require more colour, however it is still a two coat only product, once the wood becomes saturated with the oil the excess dries on the surface and does not give the desired result. You can apply one coat followed by a Polyx product for protection on flooring or worktops or two coats if only minimal protection is required and colour is more important. The product is still moisture repellent and easy to clean and maintain however.

To coin that overused phrase, 'does what it says on the tin' !!!!
Very good products from Osmo and service from Wood - finishes direct
I used this to transform untreated pine bedroom furniture. The finish it provides is equivalent to high end high street furniture. The colour is a lovely soft grey and very on trend. One coat provides a matt finish and two coats provides a silk to gloss finish but the colour intensity is similar.
Great product. Looks wonderful and very economical to use. Easy to touch up as well so can always look good
Really good to use and a silky finish. For my dark darkish wood it didn't really work but this was due to my concept not this excellent finish.
Easy to use gave a great finish,use the Matt top coat over it looks brilliant.
Following the sample I bought a 2.5 litre tin of this product and found it easy to use, a great finish and versatile product
Very good product and finish was as shown. Very useful advice from Wood Finishes Direct in helping me choose the correct stain. Well Done! Stained some ash timber for a headboard frame.
I have used this before and consider it among the best paint available
As stated I found the wax easy to apply and it seems a little goes along way. Good colour. Buffing the wax after one coat on pine enabled the wood grain to be seen. If the wax was not buffed then the grain was covered.
This covered well and the whitewash finish was just what I was looking for
Great coverage, very helpful staff that helped guide me into buying the right product for me and the job in hand. Highly recommend.
Would always recommend this to anyone who wants to use a more eco friendly finish. A good product.
I loves the rustic look this gives where you get a fairly intense color but can still see the grain... It was used on limewood
Loved the colour since it gives a fairly intense white while letting the grain show... It was used on limewood.
Very easy to apply on wood . Really good quality products
The option to purchase a sample was most welcome as we were wishing to match up a previous colour on wooden furniture. It was exactly what we wanted so we then ordered a 125ml tin.
Useful size to use as a test for colour
