Does this product create a film on the wood?

Troubleshooting
Uneven color or finish
This often occurs if excess oil is not fully buffed off. Ensure to remove all residue with a clean cloth. For existing issues, light sanding and reapplication may be needed.
Surface remains tacky after drying
Indicates too much oil was applied or not enough excess was removed. Buff vigorously with a clean cloth, or apply a fresh coat thinly and buff thoroughly.
Water marks or rings appear
The surface may not have been fully cured or an adequate number of coats were not applied. Allow for full curing time. If necessary, reapply the oil following correct procedures.
Color not as expected
Test the oil on an inconspicuous area first. Wood type and the number of coats applied can affect the final color. A second coat can deepen the shade.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or old finishes. Sand lightly if necessary for optimal adhesion. Stir the product thoroughly before and during application.
Compatibility: Osmo Polyx-Oil Tint is compatible with most common wood types, including oak, pine, maple, and exotic woods. It can be used on flooring, furniture, paneling, doors, and countertops. It is not recommended for use over existing paint or film-forming varnishes without proper preparation.
Care: To maintain the finish, clean surfaces with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution. Periodically, a maintenance coat of Osmo Polyx-Oil (clear or tinted) can be applied to refresh the protection and appearance. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, which can damage the protective layer.
