Also Not Recommended
Green Oak: moisture content is often above the maximum 20% recommended.
Idigbo: contains yellow dyes which leaches when the wood becomes wet and stains when in contact within iron.
Other woods treated with a varnish, lacquer or other surface coatings must be completely sanded before use.
Shake very well before use. Failure to mix all ingredients ( and colour) could lead to an increased patchiness.
For dark and extractive-rich woods (e.g. Iroko, Teak, Mahogany, Sapele, Wenge, Merbau, Jatoba, Cedar etc.), we recommend using Osmo Wood Wax Finish Clear Extra Thin. A trial application is recommended.
For kitchen worktops, Osmo Wood Protector 4006 is an optional pre-treatment for absorbent wood like: Pine, Birch or Spruce. Osmo Wood Protector 4006 will help to raise the water repellant qualities of the timber prior to applying Osmo Top Oil.
Wood pre-treated with Osmo Wood Protector 4006 may appear a little more dark and colour intensified. Always trial apply Osmo Top Oil 3068 Natural over the Wood Protector 4006 to ensure the final appearance meets with expectations.
Osmo TopOil 3068 Natural is slightly white tinted and is optically suitable for lighter coloured wood species, eg : Oak, Beech, Birch or Pine. On dark/reddish wood species, Osmo TopOil 3068 Natural is visible as slightly white chalky surface.
Applying excess Osmo TopOil 3068 Natural may lead to a white chalky surface. Remove visible white pigments before allowing the surface to dry.
Avoid covering during drying and curing. After 2-3 weeks, the surface is fully cured.
Multi-purpose cleaners such as washing up liquids and detergents are highly detrimental to the finished surface and is not recommended to be used as discolouration or staining may be possible.
Other household cleaning products such as vanish, bleach, baking soda etc. are likely to cause severe discolouration or staining.
