Surface Preparation

Wooden surfaces to be treated with Osmo Wood Wax Finish 1101 must be clean and dry with a moisture content of no more than 20%. Because dense exotic hardwoods tend to be oily in nature, we recommend that surfaces to be oiled are de-greased with mineral turpentine and a lint-free cloth prior to application to help with the absorption.

• Clean or lightly sand old microporous (oiled) finishes


• Varnishes and other surface coatings must be fully removed back to bare wood before application


• Small cracks, larger dents and small holes in the wood should be filled with a suitable wood filler


• Sand carefully before application starting with a coarse paper – final sanding for flooring should be with a P120 – P150 grit paper, for furniture P220 – P240 grit paper


• Remove all traces of sanding dust with a brush or vacuum cleaner prior to application
