Superb oil for pine staircase handrail. Goes on in seconds and 2 coats gave a lovely sheen. So easy to apply and first class technical support from the UK manufacturer.

This review is for amatures like me not professionals. The stuff is like soft jelly so its difficult to get it out of the tin directly depending on what method of application you are using. The traditional method is apparently to use lint free cloths but I watched a youtube video on applying it by a professional who used brush, lint free cloths and finally a non-scratch foam sponge (like a non-scratch pan cleaning sponge usually green or yellow but only about 5 to 10 mm thick and about 150 x 80 mm area. The ones I had were white I got them from Wicks but apparently the video Youtube used 3M ones. The Youtube video said that this was the best method of application as it spread the oil thinly and any minor nubs (protrusions on the smooth surface) were rubbed away but because it was non-scratch it didn't damage the wood surface. I did two coats in one day fairly easily (it was just skirting board about 12.5 m worth x 125 high) I did find it difficult to get those non-scratch pads into the small tin opening. Possibly I should have used a bowl or container to empty some oil out into and get to it more easily that way. I definately should have double checked the skirting board as I found a rough (not smoothly sanded patch) part of the way around and had to stop and wait for it all to dry before sanding it down smooth and starting again at that previously rough patch. Youtube video said to use latex or similar gloves because the oil is sticky and messy. I used the gloves and didn't have too much trouble. I threw away the non-abrasive pads after two applications had used up most of the area but I think I could have cleaned them up if I'd wanted to and used them again. White spirit acts as the cleaning solvent.

Spent many weekends tirelessly laying my hardwood floor and applied this hardwax oil to cure overnight. It was a total disaster! Left a horrible patchy grey uneven finish. After lots of reading found I'd applied it on too thick. The instructions do say a "thin layer". My advice is to wipe down the surface afterwards! It really does mean a thin layer. After hours of scotchbright scrubbing and a little extra oil to try soften what was already applied and a lot of elbow grease it did turn out okay in the end. After being applied properly the finish is pretty tough. It did make the wood darker than I expected but shows the grain really well and looks great. Bit slippy in socks! Overall I'm very pleased, just wish I'd read the instructions better.

I love my newly oiled kitchen floor! This product is amazing and so easy to apply. I wanted a really Matt look and having read all the reviews on here I am so pleased I didn't use the other available brands as it is fantastic. Worth waiting the week for delivery. It does smell a bit. I've been away 2 days and got home to a lovely waft of the oil even though I ventilated the house well when applying. Who cares about the smell when the floor is so delicious to look at! It is only 3 days since application so I'm sure the smell will go but its not unpleasant. I have spilt water on the floor today and it just lay there without penetrating the floor. My kitchen floor (excluding the kitchen units) is 4.5 by 2meters. I was worried a small 0.75litre tin would run out half way through. I applied 2 coats and used 2 thirds of the tin so have enough for another application in the future - good value for money. I applied using the Osmo brush 50mm. Ok for the job but I'm sure other brushes that do not lose their bristles would be equally as effective. Delivery wise the tin came very well packaged and arrived within the specified delivery time.

The first image is my oak floor. Process of bleaching you can find - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01CK2AGBS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The other images are my oak kitchen worktops that were in an absolute state. Black old, dreadful. I have to sand them completely down. I like to fix and repair, but this was so bad I thought it would have to be replaced. I thought I can try and I am so happy I did. First I used a coat of CLEAR which gave the wood colour back - then a couple of very light coats of OSMO 3040 to get inside the grain and stop it from going orange and a couple of reasonably generous coats of OSMO clear. Stunning results. A year later it is still water repellant. I do wipe it down when I spill water on it, but I also dry things directly on it if I have to. One thing that does give a better finish is to make the area clean from dust and bits. Apply as evenly as possible. NEVER go over areas whilst it is drying. Use a none abrasive scrub pad to apply, use the same pad to remove ‘bits’ from each coat (or a fine grit sand very lightly not to scratch) and allow to dry over night between coats. Love love love OSMO.

I bought this small pot to retreat our kitchen/dining table after 7 years of use. After a very light sanding and three coats of Osmo Polyx hard wax oil it looks better than ever. This is a quality product. It is so easy to apply with a brush and a little goes a long way - 125ml did three coats with some left over. We have the same wax oil on our wooden floors and that still does not need redoing after 7 years even in high use doorways. It was worth the premium of buying the small pot now as I didn’t want to risk opening and then storing a 2.5l tin for such a small job.

If you have some wood and you want to protect it from stains and give it a top quality finish, look no further than Osmo Polyx oil. It really is the best quality out there, if you discount things like tung oil which take about 15 years worth of applications and sandings to get right. Polyx is two coats and done. I do recommend using the Osmo wood protector first as an undercoat, and I personally wanted to make sure I did the job right so I also bought the Osmo brushes and brush cleaner. Only downside is the price - it was expensive enough for the small tin I needed to finish my desktop; I can imagine if you were doing a whole floor, it's going to get real pricey!
