NOTE
If surfaces in outdoor areas (e.g. windows, cladding) should have additional protection, apply one top coat of Osmo UV-Protection-Oil Clear (410 without film protection or 420 with film protection) after thoroughly drying. This protects against dirt contamination and extends the life of the finish. For Country Colour White 2101, please use Natural Oil Woodstain White 900.
Many wood species contain water-soluble coloured extractives which may leach out naturally when weathered.
Using power washers will severely decrease the coverage of the finish and general or multi-purpose cleaners will increase the frequency of maintenance and recoating.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Wood surface must be clean, dry and frost-free (moisture content max. 20%).
Osmo Country Colour is ready to use. Do not thin. Stir well before use.
If possible, please apply the first coat to all sides before installation.
Clean old microporous stains thoroughly. Old paints and lacquers must be completely removed.
As a general rule, wear a dust mask during sanding works.
The finished surface is influenced by several factors, including the condition of the wood. Therefore, a trial application is always required, especially for unfamiliar surfaces.
If additional protection against blue stain, rot and insects is desired, pre-treat the wood if possible on all sides with Osmo WR Base Coat.
