Product Information

Full details

Osmo UV Protection Oil Extra is designed for professionals and DIYers seeking to protect and enhance exterior wood surfaces. Its primary benefit is a significant slowdown of the greying process caused by UV exposure, offering up to 12 times more protection than untreated wood. A key consideration is that while it slows fading, wood colour will still change over time, and transparent tinted options may be needed for longer-lasting color retention.

FAQs

How often should I reapply Osmo UV Protection Oil Extra?

Reapplication frequency depends on the exposure of the wood. Generally, a maintenance coat is recommended every 1-2 years, or sooner if signs of wear, reduced water repellency, or greying appear.

Can I use this on interior wood?

Osmo UV Protection Oil Extra is specifically formulated for exterior wood protection. For interior wood, Osmo offers a range of interior finishes like Polyx-Oil.

Do I need to sand between coats?

No, sanding is not required between coats when applying multiple thin coats or performing maintenance applications. This simplifies the process and allows for easy spot repairs.

What is the difference between UV Protection Oil and UV Protection Oil Extra?

UV Protection Oil Extra offers enhanced protection against UV rays, slowing the greying process significantly more than the standard UV Protection Oil. It is specifically designed for vertical wood surfaces outdoors.

How do I clean the wood after applying the oil?

For spills, wipe away immediately with a cloth. For general cleaning, use a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents, as they can degrade the protective finish.

Can I mix different colours of UV Protection Oil Extra?

Mixing tinted versions of UV Protection Oil Extra is possible to achieve custom shades. However, always test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure the desired colour is achieved.

How long does it take for the oil to dry?

Drying time can vary based on temperature and humidity. Typically, it is touch-dry within 4-6 hours and ready for a second coat or light use after 24 hours. Full curing can take a few days to a week.

Troubleshooting

Wood appears streaky or uneven after application.

This can happen if the oil was not applied evenly or worked in sufficiently. Ensure thin, even coats and always work the oil into the wood grain. Remove any excess oil that has not penetrated after 15-20 minutes.

Water is not beading on the surface.

The oil may not have fully cured, or the protective layer has worn down. Ensure sufficient drying time has passed. If the product has been applied previously and the beading effect is gone, it's time for a maintenance coat.

Wood is still greying despite application.

While UV Protection Oil slows greying significantly, it does not eliminate it entirely, especially with prolonged, intense UV exposure. Consider using one of the tinted UV Protection Oil Tints or Natural Oil Wood Stain for stronger colour retention.

Product seems too thick to apply.

Ensure the product has been stored correctly and is within its shelf life. In cooler temperatures, slightly warming the container (e.g., in a warm water bath) can help thin the oil for easier application. Do not heat directly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly slows down the greying of exterior wood.
  • Protects against water and dirt spills, preventing stains.
  • Easy to apply with a brush or cloth, no primer needed.
  • Allows wood to breathe, reducing risk of cracking or peeling.
  • Simple maintenance and spot repairs without sanding.

Cons

  • Wood colour will still fade over time, requiring reapplication.
  • Tinted versions are recommended for longer-lasting colour preservation.
  • Requires mixing to order for specific tints, which may affect immediate availability.
  • Primarily for vertical wood surfaces in outdoor areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, and previous finishes. For unfinished wood, a light sanding may be beneficial. No primer is required. The product is mixed to order, so ensure you have the correct tint and quantity.

Application: Apply thinly and evenly with a brush or cloth along the wood grain. Work the oil into the surface.

Compatibility: Suitable for all exterior woods, including hardwoods and softwoods. Ideal for garden furniture, decking, cladding, fences, window frames, doors, and garden structures.

Care: Clean spills immediately by wiping with a soft cloth. For general cleaning, use a damp cloth. To maintain protection and colour, reapply as needed, typically every 1-2 years depending on exposure. Spot repairs can be made without sanding between coats. If the surface has become significantly weathered or greys, it may require cleaning and reapplication of the oil.
