Designed for durability and ease, it forms a microporous, breathable finish that won’t crack, peel or flake. Maintenance is simple too, with no sanding needed when it’s time to top up, making it ideal for busy outdoor spaces.Key benefits: Made from natural plant oils, which enhance the natural tone of the wood, giving a permanent wet effect. Water repellent, dirt resistant, weatherproof, and UV stable. Easy to apply and maintain. No sanding required for reapplication. Safe for humans, animals and plants once dry. How to apply: Remove any old coatings (paint, varnish, lacquer). If sanding, do not go finer than P120. Clean the surface using an exterior wood cleaner and allow to dry thoroughly. Treat bare wood with WR 4006 Wood Protector first for maximum longevity. Apply the oil thinly with a brush for decking or lint free cloth for furniture, working along the grain. Allow to dry for at least 12 hours, then apply a second coat, also thinly - this can be with Osmo Anti-Slip Decking Oil 430 Clear if desired. Apply Osmo End Grain Sealing Wax over the decking oil on any exposed end grain to prevent moisture absorption that could rot the wood from inside. Top tips Apply thin coats - over-application can affect drying and finish quality. Always work with the grain for an even, professional look. Ensure the wood is clean, dry, frost-free, and has a moisture content below 20%. Allow new or dense timber to weather for around 6 weeks before application. For already weathered or greyed wood, use Osmo Wood Reviver Power Gel to restore original colour before refinishing. For more tips on preparing your decking for the season, check out this blog.
