RECOMMENDED AFTER WEATHERING PERIOD

For the following wood types, a weathering period is recommended. New or sanded wood requires at least 12 weeks (approximate) exposure to the exterior elements before application.

After the weathering period, it’s generally recommended to de-grey the surface with Osmo Wood Reviver Power-Gel and clean the surface from the extractive content before application, always trial apply!

For all other ingredient-rich hardwood species not mentioned may require a varied period of exposure. Please contact us for further information.

TOP TIPS….
  • Stir well using a flat stirring stick or spatula. Failure to mix the colour and all ingredients could lead to an increased patchiness.
  • Ideally the new surface will be finished to a final P120 grit sand paper grade. This is the optimal grade for applying Osmo UV Protection-Oils.
  • For ingredient-rich wood species (eg: Cedar, Iroko, Teak, Mahogany etc.), please allow 12 weeks weathering prior to application. Weathering will improve absorbency for the Osmo product to penetrate in to the wood. If the wood has greyed after weathering, use Osmo Wood Reviver Power Gel to refresh the colour once more. Avoid refreshing colour through sanding as this will reveal fresh wood ingredients, and the surface will need to be weathered once more
  • Osmo UV Protection-Oil Tints 429 Natural is not recommended for use on ingredient-rich (dark/reddish) wood species because it is visible as slightly white chalky surface. A trial application is always recommended. Over application of Osmo UV Protection-Oil Tints 429 Natural may lead to the inherent white pigments becoming visible. The product may appear more white on very textured / rough sawn surfaces. Remove excess white before allowing the surface to dry.
