NOTE
Oils enhance the natural tone of wood (permanent wet effect).
Osmo Wood Protector is not to be used alone. Within one week, a top coat (with an oil-based Osmo wood finish) should be carried out.
When using Osmo Wood Protector on large areas under Osmo One Coat Only HS-PLUS, glossy spots may appear because of the extremely high content of solids in this finish.
Due to the strongly water-repellent effect, do not coat with water-soluble products (e.g. Interior Wax).
Using general or multi-purpose cleaners will increase the frequency of maintenance and recoating. Allow finish to fully cure before heavy usage.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Wood surface must be clean, dry and frost-free (moisture content max. 18%).
Osmo Wood Protector is ready to use. Do not thin.
Stir well before use.
Clean old microporous stains thoroughly. Old paints and lacquers must be completely removed. As a general rule, wear a dust mask during sanding works. Fill small cracks, larger joints or holes in wood (with Osmo Wood Filler).
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.
Osmo Wood Protector is compatible with all conventional types of glue and putty (except for products containing silicon).
