How to apply Osmo hardwax oil

Ensure the wooden floor or surface is dry and cleaned before application. You may need to clear any old stains and remove old paints and varnishes before applying, otherwise, the finish will not be as smooth or as effective. Fill in any holes or cavities before applying. Sand down the surface well and clean the sanding dust with a vacuum before any oil is applied. 

Shake your Osmo wax oil well before use. 

Begin the application by using a flat brush or roller to lightly apply oil to your wooden surface. Spread the oil well and make sure it is well ingrained into the wood in a smooth finish instead of in lumpy pools or blotches. After the Osmo hardwax oil has been properly applied, allow the oil to dry in a well-ventilated area. Only apply your second coat once the first coat has fully dried. The Second coat does not need to be thicker or thinner than the first, just a repeat of the initial process. 

Use a maximum of 2 coats on raw wood. You can always add another coat later down the road if you feel you need to. 

Once both coats have dried you should be left with a smooth, well-protected wooden surface. Ensure the oil has fully dried before touching, walking-on or handling the floor or wooden surface. Typical dry time is up to 24 hours, but may be less if the wood is left in a well-aired area.
