Surface Preparation
Wood surface must be clean, dry and frost-free (moisture content max. 18%).
Osmo Oil Stain is ready to use. Do not thin. Stir well before use.
Clean old microporous stains thoroughly. Old paints and lacquers must be completely removed. As a general rule, wear a dust mask during sanding works. Fill small cracks, larger joints or holes in wood (with Osmo Wood Filler).
Sand wood surfaces carefully. Begin with coarse sandpaper – final sanding work for flooring grit P120-150, for furniture girt P220-240. Before oiling the surface, remove sanding dust with a broom or vacuum.
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
Transparent colour: with Osmo Floor Brush, Osmo Microfibre Roller, Oil Finish Applicator Fleece (Hand Pad Holder) or Double Blade Scraper, apply very thinly and evenly to the clean and dry wood along the wood grain and rub into the wood with a white pad. For larger areas use the Osmo Floor-X- center / white pad for an even colour tone. Allow to dry for approx. 12 hours under good ventilation.
Intensive colour: if a stronger colour is desired, apply thinly along the wood grain with Osmo Microfibre Roller or Floor Brush, and spread well. Please note, Oil stain will penetrate quite quickly therefore on thirsty woods a hand application may appear patchy. Trial applications highly recommended first. For best results, rub in to the wood with white pad.
Tip: With an unused Osmo Microfibre Roller, any brushstrokes can be removed within 30 minutes after application. Ventilate well while drying. If an even more intensive colour is desired, apply a second coat with Osmo Double Blade Scraper, Osmo Microfibre Roller or Floor Brush, and rub into the wood with a white pad. Ensure first coat of Osmo Oil Stain has fully dried before rubbing in second coat with white pad.
After thoroughly drying, a top coat should be carried out with a clear Osmo Polyx®-Oil.
For smaller areas, e.g. furniture, Osmo Oil Stain can be applied with a lint-free cloth.
Note
Applications with the Hardener for Oil Stain 6631 as drying accelerator are also possible as an option.
Please observe the instructions for a correct application.
For dark woods and hardwoods rich in extractives (e.g. Wenge, Merbau, Jatoba etc.), we recommend using Osmo Wood Wax Finish Clear Extra Thin or Osmo Polyx®-Oil 2K Pure. A trial application is recommended.
Colour tone 3501 White: An intensive white surface is not recommended for flooring because it is more sensitive and prone to natural yellowing. As a top coat for such surfaces, the pigmented Polyx®-Oils 3040 or 3240 (White transparent) is recommended.
Colour tone 3519 Natural: A thin coat is recommended either with Osmo Microfibre Roller or Floor Brush.
After drying, a coat with a clear Osmo Polyx®-Oil should be carried out. The natural colour tone of wood is preserved – it does not enhance the tone of wood, no permanent wet effect. This finish leaves white streaks on red/dark wood species.
Using general or multi-purpose cleaners will increase the frequency of maintenance and recoating. Allow finish to fully cure before heavy usage.
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.

OSMO HARDENER FOR OIL STAIN
Acts as an additive for Osmo Oil Stain for accelerated drying. The drying time is shortened from 12 hrs to just 4 hrs by simply pouring the contents of the hardener (60ml) into the 1L Oil Stain can and stirring thoroughly prior to application.
OSMO FLOOR-X-CENTER
Ideal machine which uses eccentric rotation for basic and intensive cleaning of wooden floors. Can also be used for resurfacing and refreshing the surface, as well as application of the Osmo Polyx®-Oils and Osmo Oil Stain.
OSMO DOUBLE BLADE SCRAPER
Apply with the Double Blade Scraper thinly onto the surface and then massage with the Osmo Floor-X-Center and green pad.
Top Tips:
- Stir well using a flat stirring stick or spatula before use. Failure to mix the colour and all ingredients could lead to an increased patchiness
- Over application and/or low ventilation can also increase the drying times.
- Apply one coat with a buffing pad for a transparent colour tone. For a more intensive colour tone, apply a second thin coat ( buffed, or Osmo microfibre roller)to show less of the grain.
- Always check colour coats are fully dry and stable prior to applying a subsequent coat. If coats are not dry the colour could be disturbed. Always trial apply first.
- A final top coat of Osmo Polyx®-Oil should be applied to protect the colour.
- If you prefer the look of untreated wood or to retain the light character of the wood please use Osmo Polyx®-Oil 3044 Raw.
- 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.
- Be cautious if applying 3062 Clear Matt over a dark coloured surface such as 3590 Black. The matting agents within 3062 may produce a white mist or powdery effect upon the surface. It is recommended to apply 3065 Semi-Matt if a sheen is not desired. Always trial apply!

Colour and protect wooden floors without visible transitions, applying a single coat of the Oil Stain will create a transparent look showing the wood’s natural grain, whilst an optional second coat can give a more intensive colour tone. A final coat of Osmo Polyx®-Oil is a must to protect pigmented finishes from wearing the colour. Oil Stain Hardener is an optional second component which can be used to harden the finish which reduces the drying and curing time to just 4 hours!
