Overview

Osmo Wood Wax Finish Clear Extra Thin is suitable for a wide range of hardwood interior surfaces, including wall and ceiling paneling, wooden flooring, furniture and kitchen worktops. Due to its water-repelling qualities, it is especially well suited for use in wet / moisture-rich environments, such as kitchens and bathrooms.

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

Also available: Osmo Wood Wax Finish Intensive and Osmo Wood Wax Finish Transparent

Preparation

Wooden surfaces to be treated with Osmo Wood Wax Finish 1101 must be clean and dry with a moisture content of no more than 20%. Because dense exotic hardwoods tend to be oily in nature, we recommend that surfaces to be oiled are de-greased with methylated spirit and a lint-free cloth prior to application to help with the absorption.

Clean or lightly sand old microporous (oiled) finishes
Varnishes and other surface coatings must be fully removed back to bare wood before application
Small cracks, larger dents and small holes in the wood should be filled with a suitable Osmo wood filler
Sand carefully before application starting with a coarse paper - final sanding for flooring and furniture should be with a P120 grit paper
Remove all traces of sanding dust with a brush or vacuum cleaner prior to application

Application

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. This product can be brushed, wiped, dipped or spray applied.

Stir Osmo Wood Wax Finish thoroughly before and periodically during application
Apply the 1st coat thinly and evenly along the grain with an Osmo Soft Tip Brush or lint-free cotton cloth
Allow to dry for 30 minutes, then remove any surplus oil with a clean cloth
Allow 12 hours for the first coat to dry before applying the second coat in the same way as the first
Apply a second coat as above if required

Recommended number of coats: 1 coat for furniture / 2 coats for flooring.

Aftercare

Regular Cleaning

Surfaces treated with Osmo Wood Wax Finish Extra Thin should be dry wiped from time to time with a soft, lint-free cloth. To remove day to day, dust, dirt, scuffs and light marks use Osmo Spray Cleaner.

Alternatively, surfaces can be cleaned at regular intervals with Osmo Wash and Care (8016).

Deep Cleaning

For more stubborn marks, light scratches or if the surface is starting to look tired or worn, an application of Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner may be required. For intensive cleaning, without sanding, use Osmo Intensive Cleaner.

Renovation

For renovation of previously oiled surfaces, apply 1 thin coat of Osmo Wood Wax Finish Extra Thin to clean, dry surfaces - no sanding required.

FAQ

I am using 1101 to refinish an iroko countertop. I have applied the oil thinly with a pad after fine sanding. After 2 days the oil is not going off, why?

This is usually down to the oil not being able to penetrate through which can be caused by over application or something blocking the wood grain. Iroko has a tight grain to it, it is likely that the fine sanding has blocked this grain. Ideally, we would not recommend going higher than a 120 /150 grit finish on this type of timber.

To remedy the problem now, you would need to deal with the root cause. It is unlikely that the oil will dry properly as it is sat on the surface rather than in the wood grain. Sand the surface back using a 120-150 grit and wipe the surface with Barrettine Methylated Spirit. Apply a very, very thin coat of oil, keep pulling this out as far as it will possibly go and remove any surplus from the surface using Woodleys Microfiber Cloth The surface should then be left to dry for 12 hours.

Can Osmo Extra Thin go straight onto floorboards?

Absolutely, the Osmo Wood Wax Finish Extra Thin 1101 is specifically designed to enhance and protect oily hardwoods with a tight wood grain. Two thin coats is all that is needed after the flooring has been degreased with Barrettine Methylated Spirit.

Excellent

It does what it says on the tin!

Excellent, similar products not necessarily cheaper

Gave a good result on pine rafters which are exposed

Quality product

Easy to apply and great that you don't have to use a primer first, leaves a nice clear matt finish that shows off the natural wood colour.

Good

It was exactly right for the project.

Was very surprised at how easy it was to use

It was my first experience of restoring/upcycling an old Danish cherry wood table and chairs that had been sun damaged over a 25 year period. Got another company to strip and sand the items first. With friends help the Osmo was applied using a paint brush and then allowed to absorb the wax for 15 minutes before cleaning off the extra with lint free microfibre clothes also bought from this site. Lots of very good advice also available on the site.

Good

It was after I finished painting the oil that I looked to see how to clean the brush and it only mentioned putting in a product by name. I wish someone would have mentioned this when I ordered it. Put a substitute I white spirit on the tin.

Excellent finish, brings out the best in tropical hardwood worktop.

Excellent finish, brings out the best in tropical hardwood worktop - looks great. Easy to apply and soaks in well. Much, much better than other worktop oils I've used previously. Worktop is also a regularly used sink surround which gets a real hammering (we wash in the sink - no dishwasher). Its well over 20 years old and after light sanding down with a random orbit sander and 3 coats of the Osmo product applied it looks like new - very impressive. Highly recommended.

Clean durable finish

First time restoring furniture, I was recommended this product and I'm very happy I went with the recommendation. Extremely easy to apply and buff off. This product left a fantastic low sheen, high waterproof finish.

Did the job as required

Did the job but took days to dry..good finish now though

Great finish

I used this on recommendation for teak cabinets in a shower room. Went on very easily and looks great. Any Osmo product I've used does a really good job

Very good product

Very nice thin wax for wood flooring.

Game Changer!

We have iroko worktops that we have been using Rustins teak oil on for about ten years. I wasn't happy with the finish (sometimes tacky to touch and marked easily) so was looking for something different. I did my tedious research and you suggested this. We watched the videos and followed the instructions to the letter. Wow!! It was so worth it! I am really happy with the result. Wish we had used it years ago.

Nice finish and easy to treat

Gives a very good finish. Was easy to apply with a lint free duster

It really enhanced the Camphor Laurel grain

Couldn't be faulted! I've read reviews of Osmo finishes where users have clearly NOT followed the directions on the tin. This stuff MUST be applied really thinly, then surplus wiped off after 30 minutes or so. If you do that, and apply several coats, lightly sanding between each, the results are absolutely superb!

My first choice to wake up any piece of timber

I've already used this product several times and I'm sure I'll keep using forever. The natural splendor of the timber that you can achieve with just a 1 go of this wax is amazing

Very good

Very good does exactly what it says on the tin much better than anything else I have used

Not ideal for Iroko

Despite following the instructions on the tin and using different application methods, this oil would not soak in to our Iroko worktops. The wood grain was lifting and water spots were visible after a splash of water was left for a few seconds. One method of getting some protection from the product was to use some of the dried wax that had dried on the underside of the lid, it worked a treat. I might try and let some of the thinners evaporate from some of the oil and see how that goes. Out of the tin though, it didn't work for us.

Iroko is a very hard/dense wood, naturally high in its own oil content and this may be what has prevented the Extra Thin from penetrating the surface of the wood. Sometimes a good wipe over with Mehtylated Spirits can help with this or simply allowing the wood to rest for a few weeks, the natural oils will disperse and you can then try again for application of the Osmo Oils.

Very impressed so far

Having used water based varnish on pine parquet downstairs and been dissatisfied I wanted to go back to a solvent or resin based product, but one that was as Matt as possible. Prompted by a friend who swears by osmo products I found this one that said it was suitable for oily woods (it was used on reclaimed teak parquet in a bathroom). I also used some filler medium that you mix with sawdust (bought previously from wood finishes direct for the downstairs parquet and never used...) because I wanted to avoid any gaps at all since it%u2019s a bathroom. Used an Osmo brush and finishing pads and cloth and followed the instructions. That was about 4 months ago and I still go wow when I go for a wee!

Very easy to apply

At long last have found a worktop finish with a matt finish.

Does exactly what I wanted

Does exactly what I wanted. I turned a beautiful piece of laburnum and wanted the inside waterproof so it can be used for flowers.

Just the job

We have a large wood carving that was given to us by a dear friend in Indonesia. Two coats of Osmo Oil have made it look as good as new.

Really good stuff

Perfect for our iroko, really brings out the highlights in the wood. Put it in our bathroom and 6 months in havenâ€™t needed to re-oil yet

Best product for Oak doors

This is the only product I would ever use on oak doors. My colleague used a cheaper product and it cost him hundreds to fix! Go large or go home!

Very good wax

Excellent, high quality wax and goes a long way.

Very good

Very good. Easy to apply and use.

Good product as Osmo always is.

Good product that gives a quality finish.

Easy application on oak doors,nice finish.

I am a carpenter/joiner not a painter but this product gives a fab finish & did not have one run,amazing!

Nice finish, easy to apply

The oil is easy to apply and brought the grain out of the teak floor without staining it. Only note would be not to apply two coats as the second didn't soak in completely. Otherwise a good product.

Osmo leading the way in wood finishing

Best penetrating oil on the market. Particularly good for tight grain hardwoods. A beautiful and durable finish which looks a very natural in the wood look an not a coat of plastic. Highly recommended

Purchased it for its drying speed however it was not suitable for use on teak...

The osmo oil purchased is quick to dry and easy to use but in the case of use on teak restaurant tables it was unsuitable and didnt resist staining.

Very good product.

This oil was easy to use and has made a very good finish on my cherry tabletop. It has brought up the wood train without obscuring it. I would certainly recommend it for new wood.
