Osmo Clear Oil Wood Finish is an extraordinarily versatile wood coating with many possibilities for use on wood surfaces in outdoor areas. It is ideal as a base coat for softwood, in particular rough sawn wood or greyed and weathered wood surfaces, to balance out varying absorption rates. Osmo Clear Oil Wood Finish is also suitable when a slightly glossy, low maintenance surface is desired: doors, windows and shutters (dimensionally stable), carports, timber cladding, balcony elements, fencing, pergolas, garden sheds (dimensionally unstable).

Advantages:

• Transparent
• Wood grain and character remains visible
• Easy to apply
• Safe for animals and plants when dry

Additional Advice:

Osmo Clear Oil Wood Finish is clear and, therefore, does not protect against UV radiation from the sun (greying). Not suitable for single product applications on areas exposed to weathering (esp. timber decking). Due to its surface texture, ribbed or rough sawn timber absorbs significantly more product. For areas highly exposed to weather, such as gables, post caps, weatherboard, window sills, please calculate with significantly shorter renovation intervals. Horizontally mounted wood should have at least a 15-degree angle. Sharp edges must be rounded (radius > 2 mm). If the greying process has already begun, refresh the surface with Osmo Wood Reviver Power Gel and recoat. Due to high oil content, Osmo Clear Oil Wood Finish exhibits a light yellowing effect when used on white pretreated surfaces. Therefore, we recommend using Osmo Natural Oil Woodstain 900 White as a top coat in such cases.

A trial is always recommended first to determine suitability.
