Application of Osmo oil stain
The Osmo Oil Stain 3564 was previously known as Tabac but is now called Tobacco. It must be applied on clean, dry wood surfaces. It does not need to be diluted and requires good ventilation. To avoid an off-white finish, it is necessary to apply a final coat of Osmo Polyx(r) Oil Raw.
Osmo Oil Stain is an oil finish that dries quickly and gives a beautiful, transparent finish. It is a great choice for both floors and furniture. You can apply two coats for a deeper colour tone. You can also use Osmo Polyx Oil Clear to protect the pigmented colour.

Osmo Oil Stain is suitable for untreated wood. Unlike traditional wood stains, it does not result in a visible transition. It can be applied in one coat, or an optional second coat can produce a richer colour tone. For a smooth and durable finish, Osmo Oil Stain can be overcoated with Osmo Polyx-Oil 3031 Matte or Osmo Top-Oil 3025 Natural.
Precautions to take before applying Osmo oil stain
Before applying Osmo Oil Stain to wooden surfaces, the surface must be dry and clean. Also, it must be frost-free. Then, sand the surface lightly with a fine-grit sandpaper. Osmo Polyx-Oil can then be applied to damaged wood or bare wood.

However, it is important to consult with the manufacturer for its recommended compatibility advice. Also, some Osmo exterior ranges may require that the timber weathers before they can be used.
Osmo Oil Stain is available in a clear matt finish and various coloured satin finishes. While a clear finish does not provide UV protection, coloured finishes do.
Maintenance of Osmo oil stain
Osmo Oil Stain is a natural stain made from oils derived from plants, such as thistle and soya. The stain is resistant to water, dirt, and abrasion. Because it uses plant ingredients, it is safe for plants and animals. It can be used on a variety of surfaces, including wood, non-glazed natural ceramic tile, and strip parquet.
Osmo Oil Stain can be applied using the Osmo Microfibre Roller or Double Blade Scraper, and the stain can be buffed away with a lint-free cloth. When applied by roller, the stain requires a top-coat of Osmo Polyx-Oil 3031 Matte or Osmo Top-Oil 3025 Natural to prevent an off-white finish.
To maintain Osmo Oil, apply a coat after a few days. However, be careful not to use household cleaning solutions and multi-purpose cleaners as they can discolour or stain the product.
