Product Information

Full details

Osmo Polyx-Oil Tints in Graphite are designed for homeowners and professional woodworkers seeking a durable, aesthetic finish for interior wooden flooring and furniture. This high-solid oil and wax treatment provides a robust, microporous barrier that repels water and dirt while maintaining a natural, breathable texture. While it offers excellent resistance to household spills, users should note that as a tint, the final color saturation depends heavily on the specific wood species it is applied to.

FAQs

Is Osmo Polyx-Oil safe for kitchens?

Yes, it is resistant to food and liquid stains, making it suitable for wooden countertops and kitchen furniture.

Can I apply this over an existing finish?

You must sand off any existing film-forming finishes (like varnish or lacquer) before applying Osmo Polyx-Oil, as it needs to penetrate the raw wood fibers.

How many coats should I apply?

Two thin coats are typically recommended for optimal protection and color depth.

Does the Graphite tint cover the wood grain entirely?

No, it is a transparent tint designed to enhance the wood grain while coloring it, not hide it completely like a paint.

How long does it take to fully cure?

While it is touch-dry in 8-10 hours, it can take up to 2-3 weeks to reach its full hardness.

Can I use this outdoors?

No, this product is specifically designed for interior use only.

Troubleshooting

Finish appears blotchy or uneven

Usually caused by applying too much product. Ensure coats are applied very thinly and excess oil is wiped away.

The finish is not drying after 24 hours

This is likely due to high humidity or low temperatures. Ensure the room is well-ventilated and increase the temperature if possible.

Surface feels tacky or sticky

You applied too much oil. Use a clean, lint-free cloth to buff off any excess oil that didn't absorb into the grain.

Pros and Cons

  • Requires careful application to avoid uneven saturation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Surface Prep: Ensure the wooden surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or old varnish. Sanding the wood to a maximum of 120-150 grit is recommended for optimal absorption.
  2. Application: Stir the tin thoroughly before use. Apply a very thin layer along the wood grain using a high-quality brush or roller.
  3. Drying: Allow 8-10 hours for the first coat to dry in well-ventilated conditions.
  4. Maintenance: Regularly clean with a damp mop or cloth using a mild wood cleaner. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that can degrade the wax layer.
  5. Compatibility: Compatible with most solid wood interior surfaces, including flooring, doors, and furniture.
