Using Osmo to revitalise your worktops

4. Osmo Polyx-Oil tints should be applied in a well-ventilated space, therefore, pop open the windows and apply your tint using a flat brush. Apply thinly and evenly to the clean and dry wood along the wood grain and spread well. Keep your windows open to allow to dry for approximately 24 hours. 

5. After allowing your tint to dry for 24 hours, you should use Osmo TopOil.
