- Very water and dirt resistant
- Reduces wood swelling and shrinkage
- Resists growth of algae, mildew and fungal
- Microporous, breathable finish which does not crack, peel, flake or blister
- No sanding necessary for future applications
Surface Preparation
- Wood surface must be clean, dry and frost-free (moisture content max. 20%)
- UV-Protection-Oil Tints is ready to use
- Do not thin
- Stir well using a flat stirring stick or spatula before use
- Ideally, surfaces are sanded no finer than a P120 grit grade of sandpaper
- Sanding to finer grades will reduce required absorbency
- If possible, and if the wood is absorbent, please apply first coat to all sides before installation
- Fresh wood containing natural wood ingredients /extractives (eg: Cedar, Teak, Mahogany or Iroko) are often less absorbent and need to weather off first before applying the product
- Please refer to website ‘Suitability’ section for more details
- Weathering helps ingredient rich wood become more absorbent and the wood finish adheres optimally
- For renovation works, clean old microporous stains thoroughly – if necessary sand lightly
- Clean and restore already greyed or weathered wood at the same time with Osmo Wood Reviver Power-Gel
- Old paints and lacquers must be completely removed
- As a general rule, wear a dust mask during sanding works
- To maintain absorbency, avoid sanding surfaces finer than a P120 grit
- Weather ingredient rich wood after sanding
- 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.
- Softwood species like Pine or Spruce are more prone to blue stain, rot and insects
- If desired, pre-treat these soft woods if possible on all sides with Osmo WR Base Coat
