Overview

Osmo Decking Oil is a premium grade decking treatment that is formulated to protect, enhance, and maintain softwood and hardwood decking boards. Ones applied and if desired, it can be over-coated with a single coat of Osmo Anti Slip Decking Oil 430 for additional slip resistance.

Osmo Decking Oil can also be used as an effective weather proofing treatment for garden furniture, screens and other exterior wood including pressure impregnated Pine, Douglas Fir, Cedar, Oak or Bangkirai - also suitable for Teak, Eucalyptus and other dense exotic hardwoods as well as thermo treated wood.

*Please Note: Osmo Decking Oil 007 (Clear) does not offer any UV resistance so although the decking will be protected from moisture, cracking, splitting and warping, it will not prevent decked areas from turning grey or silver over time.

Osmo Decking Oil 007 is a dual-purpose product and is sometimes supplied and labelled as 'Teak Oil 007', this is confirmed by the text on the back of the tin. Please be advised that 125ml sample tins are printed in German only.

Before opening the 5ml sample sachets, squeeze the packet several times to ensure that the oil and any colour pigments in the oil are thoroughly mixed before application.

Preparation

Decking boards must be clean, dry, and frost-free prior to oiling.

Old paints, varnishes and other coatings must be removed by sanding or stripping back to clean, bare wood

Old oil-based treatments or stains need to be lightly sanded or cleaned with Osmo Decking Cleaner (8025)

If sanding, use a 120-150 grit sandpaper and remove all traces of sanding dust before oiling

For exotic hardwood with a naturally high oil content such as Massaranduba, Bangkirai or Garapa, Osmo recommend that they should be allowed to weather for about 2-3 months (in winter up to 5 months). Alternatively they can be scrubbed with Osmo Brush Cleaner and Thinner (8000) (degreaser) or White Spirit to degrease the surface. Check with the decking supplier for information specific to your type of decking

Resinous woods such as Larch or Douglas Fir, should be allowed to weather for at least 6 weeks

Old, grey decking can be restored with Osmo Wood Reviver Gel (6609) which will help to remove the greying and restore the woods natural colour prior to oiling

For additional protection against blue stain, rot and mildew, pre-treat the deck with Osmo WR Base Coat (4001) or with Osmo Wood Protector (4006) (biocide-free)
