Overview:
Osmo Decking Oil is a satin oil based protective finish for exterior wood. Microporous, breathable finish allowing the wood to breath and reduces the risk of swelling and shrinkage. Water-repellent, extremely weather- and UV resistant. Easy to renew, no sanding or primer necessary. Easy to apply, does not dry during application. When dry, the finish is safe for humans, animals and plants and is suitable for children’s toys as per EN 71.3 (European norm) and fast to perspiration and saliva in accordance with DIN 53160 (German industrial norm).
Recommended Use:
Protects, maintains and beautifies wooden decking, garden furniture and screens made from Pine, Larch and other softwoods – also suitable for a pigmented treatment of Cedar, Garapa, Teak, Eucalyptus and other hardwoods.
Contains:
Based on natural vegetable oils (sunflower-oil and soyabean-oil, iron oxide and organic pigments, siccatives (drying agents) and water-repellent additives.
Dearomatised mineral white spirit (benzene-free). Complies with Environment Canada VOC regulations (SOR/2009-264).
Surface Preparation:
To ensure that the finish can penetrate into the wood surface correctly and for maximum durability, fresh/ new, hard or oily wood (high amount of natural ingredients) must be allowed to weather after installation. Recommended weathering duration: soft/coniferous woods such as Larch or Douglas Fir, approx. 6 weeks; freshly pressure impregnated, thermo treated or tropical wood species etc., approx. 12 weeks. Use Osmo Wood Reviver Power Gel to clean the wood surface and remove grey wood cells before renovating the area. Wood surface must be clean, dry and frostfree (moisture content max. 20%). Osmo Decking-Oil is ready to use – please do not thin. Stir well. Thoroughly clean or lightly sand old microporous stains or completely remove old varnishes before application. Always wear a dust mask when sanding. The finished surface is, among other things, influenced by the wood’s natural characteristics, therefore a trial application is required before finishing.
Directions for Use:
Use stiff quality brush (Osmo Brush) or a lint free cloth (e.g. for furniture) and apply thinly and evenly along wood grain on the clean and dry wood surface.
For quick and easy application we recommend using the specially made Osmo 150 mm Floor Brush, which allows you to apply the finish whilst standing.
Apply thinly and evenly. Allow for good ventilation whilst drying. Then thinly and evenly apply the 2nd coat once 1st coat has fully dried. If you would prefer a less pigmented appearance we recommend applying 1 coat of Osmo Decking-Oil and a clear 2nd coat of Osmo 1277 Decking-Oil.
Cleaning Tools:
Clean working utensils with Osmo Brush Cleaner and Thinner (benzene-free).
Note:
Osmo 1277 clear Decking-Oil is a clear finish and therefore offers no UV-protection. Wooden profiles which are ribbed or grooved as well as old, already
weathered decks, brittle or cracked surfaces will absorb more material per square metre than smooth surfaces. Some wood species tend to wash out natural water-soluble, coloured wood ingredients.
