Preparation:
Ensure that wooden surfaces are clean, dry and free from dust, dirt, debris and any other contaminants prior to applying Osmo Polyx-Oil Rapid.

New or previously oiled work tops can be lightly sanded prior to applying rapid oil with a 120-150 grit paper
To remove existing paint or varnishes, use a paint and varnish remover
White spirit can also be used to remove impurities and other contaminates from the surface of the wood
Fill small cracks, larger joints or holes in wood then sand carefully to achieve a smooth surface
Begin with coarse sandpaper - final sanding work for furniture P220-240
Before oiling the surface, remove sanding dust with a broom or vacuum
For wood tending to attract blue stain in moist surroundings (e.g. pine) pre-treat.

How To Apply Osmo Polyx Oil Rapid
Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times. Osmo Polyx Oil Rapid is ready to use but must be stirred thoroughly prior to application. Do not thin.

Application to Wood Floors:
The ideal application tool is a firm, fine, natural bristled brush, however the key to a great finish is thin application with removal of any surplus.

1. Apply the first coat of rapid oil thinly and evenly along the wood grain with a floor brush
2. Spread well for 10-15 minutes and wipe away any excess oil
3. Allow to dry for approx. 4-5 hours with good ventilation
4. Lightly de-nib the surface, then clean
5. Repeat above steps for second coat

Application to Cork floors:
Cork tiles are best treated before fitting to avoid overlapping treatment of edges which would lead to prolonged drying times. A cork floor treated with Osmo Polyx-Oil Rapid will get a robust, elastic and wear-resistant surface which will harden further over 2-3 weeks. Due to the extreme absorption power of this highly elastic, natural, material we recommend the following procedure:

1. Apply first coat very thinly with a scraper, and for smaller areas use an soft tip brush
2. Polyx-Oil should immediately absorb into the surface
3. Leave to dry for at least 24 hours
4. Apply second coat, again very thinly
5. Remove excess with cloth immediately
6. Leave to dry for at least 24 hours

Aftercare:
Regular Cleaning
For daily maintenance a duster, mop or vacuum cleaner will be sufficient. For commercial premises, an electric floor polisher can be used.

Please Note: Oiled or waxed surfaces should not be cleaned with steam cleaners or steam mops as they can potentially degrade or strip the finish. Further more, they may also damage the floor.

Renovation
Renovating, even partially, is easy. Just clean and re-treat worn areas with a thin coat of Osmo Polyx Oil Rapid. No sanding is required, and no removal of a previous Polyx Oil finish. No repair marks will be visible if applied thinly and appropriately.

Do not use or store in extremes of temperature and protect from frost.
