Tips

• For new resinous wood species, please allow approx. three months exposure to the outside elements prior to application.
• The transparent colour tone of the finish will be influenced by the wood’s natural colour, and testing first is always recommended.
• Over application can increase the drying times.
• Use biocides safely. Always read the label and product information before use.
• Recommended application amount is approx. 35 ml/m².
• Drying time of 4-6 hrs after the first coat, but is 12 hours after both coats have been applied.
• If the subsurface does not absorb the wood finish uniformly, the colouration will be uneven. For an improved, consistent and matted surface, we recommend retreating the surface with [701 Clear]. Thereby glossy spots are matted and an even appearance is created.
• Grey wood looks classically beautiful, to allow the natural greying process to occur, apply [701 Clear].
• For more grey colour tones for an aged and weathered effect, see Osmo Natural Oil Woodstain Effect.
• 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.
• Many wood species contain water-soluble coloured extractives which may leach out naturally when weathered.
