Description
Osmo Oil Stain is the recommended oil stain for timber flooring and furniture. It is a transparent (one coat) or intensive (2 coats) finish, which requires a top coat of one of the Clear Polyx Oils. The image below is of 3514 Graphite, showing the transparent and intensive effect.
Oil stain is a professional product, as it must be applied with a scraper, brush or roller, then buffed with a single disc machine.
Where Osmo’s Oil Stain is being applied in commercial situations such as shops, cafes and restaurants etc, Osmo recommend adding a 60ml bottle of Osmo Oil Stain Hardener to a 1 litre can of Oil Stain. This will reduce the drying time from 12 hours to about 4 hours, and means two coats of stain and one top coat can be applied in one day.
Available in Australia in 7 colour tones. The remaining colours can be ordered from Germany.
When using colour tone 3501 White, it is not recommended to have an intensive finish, as it is prone to yellowing. Similarly, when using colour tone 3519 Natural, it is recommended for light coloured timbers only, where the finished wood will look natural. Use on red or darker timbers such as eucalyptus saligna, rimu and jarrah etc will result in a chalky appearance.
Coverage is approximately 30 – 45 square metres per litre per coat, based on smooth, dressed timber surfaces. Coverage will be less on textured surfaces.
