In this video I run over the processes I follow to get the perfect finish when applying OSMO POLYX. There really isn't much too it but I've seen some people make a real hash of it.

I normally apply it the way you have shown, but after doing so, I noticed that Osmo does not provide very good protection against spills and scratches. Then I actually read the instructions. Osmo recommends that you don't wipe off the excess after the first 2 coats. For best protection they say to apply the first 2 coats with a thin nap roller or brush as opposed to a rag or buffing pad, then let it dry for 8-10 hrs without wiping it off. After the second coat, sand lightly if needed and finish up with 1-2 additional thin coats applied with a cloth or buffing pad. I must say it makes for a much more durable surface which is still beautiful. Who'da thought reading the instructions could make such a difference?? For an art piece that won't see any spills or scratches, I'm sure it doesn't matter. But if you're finishing a table top or any surface that may get liquid spilled on it, it makes a big difference in durability to apply it the way Osmo recommends.

100% agree, I use a foam roller for the first two coats and get a very even finish that water can't penetrate. Zero water rings.

If you are going to blow it off to remove dust, do that outside. That wood dust will be floating around the shop for several days.

Thank you for that tip I’ll be sure to do that next time!

If you did encounter a bad job, what type of sander would you use to remove the hard wax oil and start over? I used Osmo 3041 (the one with the white pigment) on my oak floor and it left a horrible white cloudy sheen because I put too much on.

Hi I have just sanded the floors with 60 grit, would it be OK to apply osmo on that? Many thanks

Great video. A question you might be able to help me with. I want to use this on a batch of hardwood coaster I've made and I'm just wondering approximately how long it takes to dry to the point where I could turn them over to do the other side. Thanks. Shane.

If I’ve got stuff to oil both sides what I tend to do is make a little jig up where I screw several screws through some ply to suspend it in the air, the important thing is to file the end of the screws off so they don’t dig in to the work piece

@Willow Studios Thanks for the reply. What I'm wondering is, if I finish both sides at the same time and suspend it on the jig, will the screws leave an imprint on the finish, or is that avoided when wiping off the excess?

Read the instructions on the tin like a grown up :-)

I had the painter apply this in our new build cabinetry. The painter put it on heavy in spots where I can see runs and surface glossiness. I no longer want them touching the expensive cabinets. Is there a way to redo or repair their terrible application?

It’s possible to sand it off and start again, it will clog your sandpaper up initially but once you’ve got rid of the majority of the residue you should be able to finish sand it then reapply the osmo in the correct manner. Hope this helps. Jake.

A scraper, perhaps?@@willowstudios323
