Osmo UV-Protection Oil Tints

Tips:

• Recommended application: 55 ml/m² per coat.
• Wet coating can be corrected up to 15 min.
• Wood surface must be clean, dry and frost-free (moisture content max. 20%).
• Thoroughly clean or lightly sand old microporous stains or completely remove old varnishes before application.
• For areas exposed to strong weathering, such as weatherboard, post caps or window sills, please expect significantly shorter renovation intervals.
• Vertical elements mounted onto horizontal wood should have at least a 15 degree angle. Sharp edges must be rounded (radius > 2 mm).
• If the greying process has already begun, clean the surface with Osmo Wood Reviver Power Gel and refinish with 2 coats of Osmo UV-Protection-Oil Tints.
• To achieve the UV protection, it is necessary to apply 2 coats of UV-Protection-Oil Tints. With only one coat on untreated wood, the life of the coating is significantly shorter.
• For new resinous wood species (such as Cedar, Iroko, Teak, Mahogany etc.), please allow approx. three months exposure to the outside elements prior to application.
• Osmo UV-Protection Oil Tints Natural 429 protects wood nearly invisibly. The natural wood tone is preserved - it does not enhance the the natural color tone of the wood (no permanent wet effect). On dark/reddish wood species, Osmo UV-Protection Oil Tints Natural is visible as slightly white chalky surface. A trial application is always recommended.
• Oak contains a high acid content within its natural tannin and as a result causes the timber to blacken during exposure to cold and moist environments - especially during the winter periods. More frequent care and maintenance is required, particularly in its first couple of years of exposure to the elements, to maintain its decorative appearance.
