Surfaces must be clean and dry, removing all traces of dust and dirt before application (maximum moisture content 20%). Only apply on frost free surfaces. For guaranteed performance it is always recommended to remove all traces of a previous finish.
- Existing oiled surfaces can be lightly rubbed back with meths then fully cleaned

How to apply Osmo Polyx Oil
We always recommended applying a test area to ascertain drying times and effect. Osmo Polyx-Oil is ready-to-use from the tin, do not thin. Stir thoroughly prior to application. Osmo oils dry via oxidation so it is important to ensure good ventilation during application and drying.
Application to Wood floors
The ideal application tool is a firm, fine, natural bristled brush, however the key to a great finish is thin application with removal of any surplus.
- Apply first coat thinly and evenly along the wood grain
- Remove surplus and leave to dry (8-10 hours)
- Lightly de-nib surface, then clean
- Repeat above steps for second coat
Application to Cork floors
Cork tiles are best treated before fitting to avoid overlapping treatment of edges which would lead to prolonged drying times. A cork floor treated with Osmo Polyx-Oil will get a robust, elastic and wear-resistant surface which will harden further over 2-3 weeks. Due to the extreme absorption power of this highly elastic, natural, material we recommend the following procedure:
- Apply first coat very thinly with a broad varnish scraper, or for smaller areas a natural bristle-brush
- Polyx-Oil should immediately absorb into the surface
- Leave to dry for at least 24 hours
- Apply second coat, again very thinly
- Remove excess with cloth immediately
- Leave to dry for at least 24 hours
