Surface Preparation
Osmo 2K Wood Oil is not ready to use. Shortly before the application, add the hardener (mixing ratio 100:12 vol.-%) and mix both components thoroughly. Do not thin. Pot time is approx. 3-4 hours. Wood surface must be clean, sanded, dry and frost-free (moisture content max. 20%). Clean old microporous stains thoroughly. Old paints, varnishes and lacquers must be completely removed. Always wear a dust mask while sanding. Fill small cracks, larger joints or holes in wood (Osmo Wood Filler or Osmo Wood Putty 7350). Sand wood surfaces carefully. Begin with coarse sandpaper – final sanding work for flooring P 120-150, for furniture P 220-240. Before oiling the surface, remove sanding dust with a broom or vacuum cleaner.
The finished surface is influenced by several factors, including the condition of the wood. Therefore, a trial application is always required, especially for unfamiliar surfaces.
Method of Application
Apply 2K Wood Oil thinly with Osmo Double Blade Scraper or in a comfortable standing position with Osmo Professional Scraper. On chamfered flooring, apply 2K Wood Oil in sections thinly with Osmo Microfibre Roller, without filling the joints. Wait approx. 20-40 minutes for the oil to penetrate the wood. Afterwards buff oil into wood and even out the surface with a single disc machine and a white or beige pad (or ideally on furniture with Osmo Hand-X-Center and a white pad). Leave the surface to dry. Note: If the single disc machine leaves streaks due to too much product, we recommend turning over the pad or replacing it. To prevent a possible pressure build-up in the container, allow oil and hardener mixtures to completely react before closing (approx. 12-16 h).
Note
2K Wood Oil can be used solely with the hardener which was developed for it. Leftover mixed product cannot be used after pot time has expired and must be disposed appropriately. Wood surfaces treat- ed with 2K Wood Oil are easy to maintain. Remove coarse dirt with a broom or a vacuum cleaner. To clean, add Osmo Wash and Care concentrate to mop water and clean the surface with a damp (not wet!) mop. To refresh and clean intensively, use Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner when necessary. If more sheen is desired, after thoroughly drying apply Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner thinly and polish when dry.
Care
Regular Cleaning: Dust mopping using the green Dust-Mop from the Osmo Mop Cleaning Kit for Floors. Damp mopping using Osmo Wash and Care or Osmo Spray-Mop.
Occasional Maintenance: Intensive cleaning and refreshing using Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner or Osmo Maintenance Oil.
Recoating: Simply re-apply one coat onto the clean and dry surface when signs of wear become visible.
