Osmo UV Protection Oil Tints

Approx 18m²per litre with one coat

Preparation:

• Wood surface must be clean, dry and frost-free (moisture content max. 20%).
• UV-Protection-Oil Tints is ready to use.
• Do not thin.
• Stir well using a flat stirring stick or spatula before use.
• Ideally, surfaces are sanded no finer than a P120 grit grade of sand paper. Sanding to finer grades will reduce required absorbency.
• If possible, and if the wood is absorbent, please apply first coat to all sides before installation.
• Fresh wood containing natural wood ingredients /extractives (eg:  Cedar, Teak, Mahogany or Iroko) are often less absorbent and need to weather off first before applying the product. Please refer to Osmo website - ‘Suitability’ section for more details. Weathering helps ingredient rich wood become more absorbent and the wood finish adheres optimally.
• For renovation works, clean old microporous stains thoroughly – if necessary sand lightly.
• Clean and restore already greyed or weathered wood at the same time with Osmo Wood Reviver Power-Gel.
• Old paints and lacquers must be completely removed.
• As a general rule, wear a dust mask during sanding works.
• To maintain absorbency, avoid sanding surfaces finer than a P120 grit.
• Weather ingredient rich wood after sanding.
• The finished surface is influenced by several factors, including the condition of the wood. Therefore, a trial application is always required, especially for unfamiliar surfaces.
• Soft wood species like Pine or Spruce are more prone to blue stain, rot and insects. If desired, pre-treat these soft woods if possible on all sides with Osmo WR Base Coat.

Application:

• With Osmo Flat Brush or Osmo Microfibre Roller, apply thinly along the wood grain and spread well.
• Allow to dry for approx. 12 hours under good ventilation.
• Then apply the second coat.
• Alternatively the second coat can also be carried out with UV-Protection-Oil Extra Clear.
• When recoating colour treated surfaces, or for renovation works, one coat applied to the clean and dry surface is usually sufficient.
