Osmo Top Oil is a special oil and wax combination, especially designed as a clear treatment for use on kitchen worktops and wooden furniture. Osmo Top Oil like the market leading Polyx oil is made with a base of natural plant oils and waxes.

Preparation:

The wooden surface must be clean and dry (max. 20% moisture content). Clean or lightly sand old microporous stains. Remove old varnishes (use Osmo Paint Remover or sand down). If necessary sand down the surface using fine sandpaper (grit P 120-150), carefully remove dust. Always wear a dust mask when sanding.

Application:

Osmo Top Oil is ready to use. Please do not thin. Shake well before use. Apply thinly with a cloth, following the grain of the wood. Leave to dry overnight for at least 8 –10 hours. Allow for good ventilation. Repeat 2 – 3 times as described above and allow to dry for 8 – 10 hours between the applications. The finished surface is, among other things, influenced by the woods natural characteristics, therefore a trial application is required before finishing.

Cleaning of tools:

Use Osmo Brush Cleaner (benzene-free) or white spirit.

Drying time:

Approx. 8 - 10 hours (normal climatic conditions, 23°C/50%, rel. humidity). Lower temperatures and/or high humidity can increase the drying time.

Note:

For the insides of cupboards and draws, apply only 1 thin coat with a cloth and leave to dry with good ventilation. If a deeper satin finish is required, the surface can be polished using Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner (also available as a spray).
