Woodworking is a craft that has been passed down through generations, and there's something truly magical about transforming a rough piece of timber into a beautiful work of art. But if you've ever worked with oily or hard timbers, you know that achieving a flawless finish can be a real challenge. That's where Osmo products come in.
Oily/Dense/Hard Timbers (Such as Spotted Gum, Kwila, Rosewood, Teak, Blackbutt, Jarrah etc):
Key Takeaways:
- The Osmo Woodwax Clear Extra Thin contains less wax compared to Osmo’s Polyx Oil, offering an oilier (thinner) finish with limited product build-up while maintaining a desirable look and necessary protection.
- Allow 1-3 days for the surface to dry completely prior to handling. Exercise caution during this time, and refrain from placing items that may cover the surface such as place mats, cloths, moving blankets etc. on the finished surface.
- The coverage rate for Woodwax Extra Thin should hover around 20 square meters per litre. Applying less may lead to over-application, causing drying issues and surface scratching.
- Use a brush, scraper, or roller for application. If opting for a roller, choose a low nap (4mm) microfibre roller, avoiding foam, mohair, or wool rollers as they can hold too much product. Ideal application involves brushing the oil as far as it can go before using a dry microfibre roller to even out the surface if needed.
- If the surface remains tacky after several days, a light buffing with a slow-speed buffing machine and a white pad can assist the drying process.
- Full curing time is around 30 days. If watermarking and scratching persist, it indicates incomplete curing, too fine sanding, over-application, or a combination. Adjustments may be needed.
And there you have it! Ready to tackle your next woodworking project armed with some timber finishing know-how. Whether it's dealing with oily or hard timbers, Osmo will help take your creations to the next level.
