FAQs
What type of wood can I use this product on?
This product is recommended for wood in outdoor areas such as carports, timber cladding, balconies, fences, pergolas, garden furniture, and garden sheds. It is well-suited for renewing old microporous finishes.
How long does the wood need to dry after application?
Allow approximately 12 hours to dry under good ventilation. It's crucial to ensure adequate drying time before the wood is exposed to moisture or rain.
What is the coverage rate?
The product coverage for 1 coat is approximately 26 m² per liter. This can vary significantly depending on the character and absorbency of the wood.
Can I use this product indoors?
No, this product is specifically formulated for outdoor wood protection and is not intended for interior use.
How do I clean my application tools?
Clean your tools immediately after use with a brush cleaner or turpentine substitute.
What is the difference between HS Plus and One Coat Only Plus?
The 'HS Plus' typically indicates enhanced protection, often including UV filtering, while 'One Coat Only Plus' emphasizes the single-application benefit. Always refer to the specific product data sheet for detailed differences.
Can I apply this over an existing paint or varnish?
This product is designed for microporous finishes. It is not recommended for use over non-breathable films like conventional paints or varnishes. Old microporous finishes should be cleaned and may require light sanding.
Troubleshooting
Uneven color or finish after application
This often occurs from applying the product too thickly or not spreading it evenly. Ensure you apply a thin, consistent coat following the wood grain. If the issue is minor, it may resolve over time. For significant issues, light sanding and reapplication may be necessary.
Product not drying properly
Check environmental conditions; low temperatures, high humidity, or poor ventilation can significantly slow drying. Ensure the 12-hour drying period is met under adequate ventilation before exposure to moisture. Avoid applying too thickly, as this traps solvents.
Wood still shows signs of weathering after application
Ensure the wood was properly prepared before application (clean, dry, free of loose material). If the wood was severely weathered, a single coat might not provide sufficient protection. Consider a second thin coat after the initial coat has fully dried and cured.
Application marks visible
Ensure you are using the recommended tools (Osmo Flat Brush or Microfibre Roller) and applying with smooth, even strokes along the wood grain. Work methodically to avoid overlapping dried areas with wet product.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or old, loose finishes. For old microporous finishes, light sanding may be beneficial. Stir the product thoroughly before use.
Application: Apply thinly and evenly with an Osmo Flat Brush or Microfibre Roller, following the direction of the wood grain. Spread the product well to avoid thick spots. Allow approximately 12 hours of drying time in good ventilation before exposing to rain or significant moisture.
Compatibility: This product is designed for unfinished or previously finished microporous wood surfaces in outdoor areas. It is not recommended for use on exotic hardwoods or surfaces not intended for outdoor use.
Care: Clean tools immediately after use with a brush cleaner or turpentine substitute. For routine cleaning of the treated wood, use a mild detergent and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which can damage the finish. For maintenance, a single recoat might be needed every few years, depending on exposure, applied similarly to the initial coat.
