This is how I apply Osmo PolyX Hardwax oil in order to achieve an even, natural, durable surface. This finish is very easy to apply if you follow the basic rules I cover in this video.

Hello, I applied 2nd coat of osmo on my table as per the instructions on the tin, so with out wiping off the oil after applying 🫢 It dried with no stickiness but looks quite patchy. What can I do? Should I try to do a 3rd coat applying as per your video? Would that make a difference? Thanks

Hi Matt! Great videos! I'm a professional finisher. I've used OSMO for years. The easiest way to apply both coats QUICK is with a metal scraper. It completely changed my life. You waste less OSMO in the process as well. OSMO sells a scraper for this purpose but I just use a 6" wall board knife. Keep it up, your killin' it dude.

Thanks Gregory sounds like a great idea. Is there anyway you can tell us your next few steps after applying it, assuming your not just leaving after that? If you are that sounds incredible. Either way some words or a video would help a lot of people I’m sure. I’ve been working with this finish for probably last 10 tables and besides applying it I have yet to be completely sold, I’m sure it’s just my lack of knowledge.

@gregorylibbee1212 2 жыл бұрын

@@Joestacemazjojo Hi Joe - Pour on OSMO. Trowel it around the surface you are finishing. Trowel any excess off the edge into the OSMO can. Take BOUNTY paper towels (no other brand work as well) and buff (in tight fast circles) off the OSMO until you are happy with the appearance. Let sit for the 24 hrs or whatever it says on can. Come back the next day scuff the surface with a maroon pad (3M 7447) and repeat the steps above for the second coat. One thing to note with this finish is the magic happens on the second coat. That first coat is just laying a foundation for the first coat. Hope this helps!

I would not use this finish for a game that relies on the surface being slick. This finish doesn’t dry hard enough for that application. Try a centurion wood coatings clear - 2800 series Catalyze it at 15%and spray it out. You could roll it out as well with a foam roller but don’t over work the coating.

I noticed you are working straight out of the tin, which is something I used to do until an old painter and decorator told me to always decant into a work kettle - mainly so you do not contaminate your finish material (also it helps keep the paint brush wet and workable - not applicable here) and I have noticed a marked improvement in the finished work. Also means you can put the lid back on the finish material and therefore it does not dry out. I have some OSMO, but have not tried it yet - but this has inspired me to get on with it! Great video, Thanks.

Good video. One thing I like about your instructional videos is that you’re still new enough at this stuff that you cover of the mistakes that newbies are going to make (like in this one where you were really clear about how to tell when you’ve spread the finish far enough). I find a lot of the older woodworkers can miss these tips out because they’ve lost that beginner perspective and these things are obvious to them.

Great video, I just followed this process to apply the first coat on Hevea butcherblock I had already stained. Everything went as planned but I ended up using the 3m Final Fishing Pads (says they replace 0000 steel wood) since that is all the big box hardware store had, just cut them into squares. I also used a stir stick to mix up my Osmo Polyx and instead of dipping the pad into the Osmo and cross-contaminating I would pull the stir stick out and dribble a good amount onto the pad. It also kept me in the habit of stirring the Osmo.

Dear Matt, these white pads are not as Abrasive as the other Scotchpads, but they tend to make Scratches all over your surface. it is much better to use these in grain direction. then, use more of the Osmo Waxoil. after applying it with the scotchpad you can take the Glossy spots of with a soft cloth, this makes your surface even softer ans Smoother.

I worked very specifically with OSMO PolyX oils for a couple of years day in, day out. I absolutely love the stuff for woods with natural glow. My favourite schedule for those was somewhat wasteful, however very good for a consistent finish whilst maintaining chatoyance; first coat is a flood so that the wood can "take" as much as it wants, followed by a complete wipe dry with several clean cloths until the oil is no longer being removed. From there it's exactly what you're doing with many ultra-thin applications. This approach works with the matting agents, but is less useful. Products like PolyX are very flexible, difficult to fuck up and very easy to recover. I absolutely love the stuff.

Tristan.. regarding the first coat being heavy, saturating the top in the osmo.. how long do you leave the osmo on the hardwoods surface before you wipe off the excess ? 10mins. 15mins? ..

@TristanJCumpole 2 жыл бұрын

@@antb3334 That all depends to be fair. If the tin isn't fresh, the oil tends to be a bit thicker so it ends up becoming "grabbier" wiping off the excess. 10mins is great as long as the wood wets up. Most of the time, I start removing oil before I've even finished the full initial application, especially on less simple workpieces like table tops. For those a rubber squeegee can move oil around during that wetting to make the most of excess. Like I say, it's super easy stuff to work with and difficult to get wrong. I just finished up a Zebrano and white Oak piece with matte PolyX, buffing in the initial flood with grey Scotchbrite. The Oak looks like you could chew on it like a Hob-Nob 😀

@antb3334 2 жыл бұрын

@@TristanJCumpole you mentioned regarding the first coat to go heavy .. ‘so the wood can take as much as it wants’ right?.. I spoke to Osmo and they said it was counter productive to remove any if brushed on and just to leave it to soak in and dry/cure over night. I experimented and did two fairly heavy coats and left them over night on both occasions and the wood continued to absorb the osmo over night .. so isn’t it the case that the longer you leave the product on the more the wood will take? On the flip side, do you use much pressure when ‘wiping off the excess?’ Thanks ..

@TristanJCumpole 2 жыл бұрын

@@antb3334 It's not a rule by any means, which is a positive with PolyX. Perhaps I should change my wording from, "as much as the wood wants to take" to, "as much as the wood needs to thoroughly wet". Once the surface is saturated enough, the initial flood can be wiped back within say, half an hour, not overnight. Subsequent coats may still sink in depending on the wood. Ash likes to drink it. Similar to polymerised oil finishes, the initial flood can help to close off the surface and reduce how much subsequent coats sink. The beauty of this stuff is that it is hard to go wrong. You can develop habits and techniques or just hammer away at it and still end up with an admirable result. Brushing on a thick coat can leave runs and drips that need cutting back around complex pieces; wiping back an initial flood is a way to work around gravity. I've even dammed workpieces with Blu-tack and inflated balloons in cutouts because of that! Do what works, be imaginative and have a game plan. Generally it will work.

4:40 So I don't know if I would 100% agree with you on that but I could see the whole high grit sanding causing problems with naturally oily woods. I have a friend who built a guitar out of Black Limba (Otherwise known as Black Korina) and they sanded the body all the way up to 800 grit using a wet down/sand type method everytime they stepped the grit up, applying I believe 4 coats of Osmo PolyX and then let it dry and cure for about a month and the results they got were amazing. The finish was velvet smooth while not being cloudy and quite stunning on the wood. So I think certain woods, a high grit can work. He said the trick was letting it cure for an extended amount of time between each coat and after the final.

Matt that was a very good video almost spot on ,on all the matters I needed to be educated about. I am about to make my first commercial cupboard and i too like Osmo, only used it once and I agree this poly stuff not into it, its a pain the re do and it looks like plastic. My question for you is though is that I am going to be using Birch plywood and you touched on sanding I think you went upto 240grit on that top? do you think with this ply ( and its in layers) that perhaps 150 then 180 grit is good enough and with no sanding between coats? Thank you and again good video!!

HI Matt loved two part series. I have put a similar worktop in my bar. It is untreated hardwood and was going to use OSMO oil but would like to stain it first. Will the clear POLX go over a stain or oil or does OSMO produce sumilar product but with colour. Cheers Andy

Very helpful video thanks. I wondered how often does the oil need to be re-applied? Ie once per year? And I notice you use Polyx Oil rather than Top Oil, why is that?
