Product Information
Full details
The Osmo Polyx-Oil Tints are designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts seeking to protect and color wood surfaces, like flooring and furniture, while highlighting the natural wood grain. The key benefit is exceptional durability and water/dirt resistance derived from natural oils and waxes. A potential caveat is the specific application method and drying time required for optimal results. This product offers a breathable, microporous finish that resists cracking, peeling, or flaking, and requires no sanding for future applications or spot repairs.

FAQs
How many coats of Osmo Polyx-Oil Tints are recommended?
For most applications, one coat of Osmo Polyx-Oil Tints followed by one coat of clear Osmo Polyx-Oil is recommended for optimal protection and appearance.
Can I use Osmo Polyx-Oil Tints on exterior wood?
Osmo Polyx-Oil Tints are specifically designed for interior wood applications. For exterior use, different Osmo products are recommended.
Do I need to sand the wood before applying?
Ensure the wood is clean and dry. Sanding is typically only required if preparing bare wood for the first time or if removing an old, incompatible finish. No sanding is needed for spot repairs or future recoats on a properly prepared surface.
What is the drying time for Osmo Polyx-Oil Tints?
The drying time is approximately 24 hours. Ensure adequate ventilation and the correct temperature (above +5 °C) for proper drying.
How do I clean the finished surface?
Wipe up spills immediately with a damp cloth. For regular cleaning, use a damp mop and a specialized wood floor cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Is this product suitable for children's furniture or toys?
Yes, the product is saliva-resistant and sweat-proof, making it safe for use on items intended for children.
What is the coverage rate?
The approximate coverage is 30 m² per liter with one coat.
Troubleshooting
Uneven color application
Ensure the product is thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply thinly and evenly, working with the wood grain. Avoid over-application in one spot. If the issue persists, lightly sand the affected area and reapply.
Tacky or sticky finish after drying
This usually indicates too much product was applied or it was applied in a humid/cold environment. Ensure proper ventilation and apply only thin coats. If the finish remains tacky after 48 hours, it may require gentle sanding and reapplication.
Product not drying properly
Check that the application temperature is above +5 °C and humidity levels are not excessively high. Ensure adequate ventilation. If the problem persists, it might be due to incompatible previous finishes. Consult product data for compatibility.
Wood grain not visible after application
Ensure you are applying a thin coat and the product is evenly spread. The goal is to tint the wood, not obscure the grain. If the grain is hidden, the coat may be too thick. Consider sanding lightly and reapplying a thinner coat.

- Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or old finishes. If an old finish is present, it may need to be removed.
- Stir the Osmo Polyx-Oil Tints thoroughly before and during application.
- Apply a thin, even coat using a flat brush, roller, or cloth, following the direction of the wood grain.
- For optimal results, a second coat of clear Osmo Polyx-Oil is recommended after approximately 24 hours of drying time.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for most types of wood, including hardwoods and softwoods.

- Not recommended for use on surfaces that have been previously sealed with solvent-based varnishes or lacquers without proper preparation.
Care:

- For regular cleaning, use a damp mop and a wood floor cleaner suitable for oiled surfaces.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water.
- For minor scratches or wear, spot repairs can be made by lightly sanding the affected area and applying a small amount of the tint, followed by a clear coat if necessary.
