By Hand with Fleece Applicator Pads
Apply two thin coats with our fleece applicator pads (best way to ensure you avoid overapplication).
- Stir the Polyp®-Oil well and pour into tray
- Work the product into the wood thinly and evenly in figure 8 or circular motions using the fleece applicator pad
- Be sure to thinly and evenly coat the surface and leave on the surface for approx. 5 minutes
- Allow approx. 8-10 hours drying time. Allow for good ventilation whilst drying
- Apply second coat following previous steps.
By Hand with Scotchbrite Pads
Apply two thin coats with non-abrasive white scotchbrite pads
- Stir the Polyp®-Oil well and pour into tray
- Work the product into the wood thinly and evenly in figure 8 or circular motions using a white pad
- Be sure to thinly and evenly coat the surface and leave on the surface for approx. 5 minutes
- With a clean white pad, polish the surface ensuring no swirl marks, rings, or wipe marks
- Ensure all excess product is removed from surface
- Allow approx. 8-10 hours drying time. Allow for good ventilation whilst drying

With a Brush or Roller
First Coat: Apply one thin coat with an Osmo Floor Brush or Osmo Floor Roller. Our rollers have a 4.5mm nap.
- Stir the Polyx®-Oil well and prior to use
- Brush or roll the product thinly and evenly onto the floor.
- Do not remove excess product, this will absorb into the wood surface over the drying period
- Allow 8-10 hours drying time prior to proceeding to second coat
Second Coat: Roll or Brush a thin second coat
- Brush or roll the second coat thinly and evenly onto the floor
- Allow approximately 5-10 minutes for product to penetrate surface
- Allow 8-10 hours drying time. Allow for good ventilation whilst drying.
Third Coat: Usually a third coat is not required, however highly
absorbent or dry timbers may appear to require a third coat.
Please consult OSMO technical support at 1-844-OSMOCAN prior to carrying out a
third coat
Tinting: Osmo Wood Wax Finish can also be used to lightly tint Polyx®-Oil
3054 up to a ratio of 10:1. Do not exceed a ratio of 10 parts Polyp®-Oil 3054
to 1 part Wood Wax Finish. Ex. For Natural (no colour change from raw wood)
tint Polyp-Oil with Wood Wax Finish 3111 White at 3% for the base-coat,
followed by a coat of clear (unstinted) Polyp-Oil as a top-coat.
Cure Period: Osmo Hardwar-Oil(s) like all floor finishes have a cure
period. We recommend allowing 2 weeks for the surface to fully cure and harden
prior to damp-mopping or placing rugs/mats on the surface.
By Hand with a Cloth/Rag
Apply three thin coats with a lint-free microfibre cloth. ie. Osmo Easy Pads.
- Stir the Polyx®-Oil well and prior to use
- Work product into wood using cloth in a circular or figure 8 pattern
- Allow roughly 15-minutes for oils to penetrate
- Working with the grain, remove all excess product from surface
- Allow 8-10 hours drying time prior to recoating
- Apply second and third coats following previous steps
WARNING: Cloths saturated with product are a spontaneous combustion hazard and should be left out unfolded until dried, prior to disposal or preferably stored in a proper fireproof container.
