Overview

Osmo UV Protection Oil Matt is a natural oil-based low sheen finish for exterior wood, including doors, windows, shutters, cladding, fences and summer houses. Formulated to protect vertical exterior wood, it delays the natural greying process and reduces wood swelling and shrinkage. With the added film protection that contains active ingredients, it protects against mould, algae and fungal attacks.

Preparation

Always ensure the surface to be treated is clean, dry and free from any dust, algae, fungi or moss.

New Wood

Fresh wood containing natural wood ingredients /extractives (e.g.: Cedar, Teak, Mahogany or Iroko) are often less absorbent and need to weather off first. Weathering helps ingredient rich wood become more absorbent and the wood finish adheres optimally. Weathering is also required if the existing surface has been freshly sanded or renovated.
Surfaces should be sanded with a 120 grit abrasive and no finer.
Ensure the surface is clean before application.
Fill any cracks or gaps with a suitable wood filler.

Old Wood

Clean existing microporous stains (wood oils) thoroughly, if necessary sand lightly to remove.
Algae, mould and moss can be removed with a fungicidal wash such as Dulux Weathershield Fungicidal Wash.
Restore greyed and weathered wood with Osmo Wood Reviver.
Old paints and lacquers must be removed.
If desired, pre-treat softwoods, if possible on all sides, with Osmo WR Base Coat.

Application

Before applying stir the product thoroughly and test a small area to ensure colour and adhesion. Colours can vary dependent on the surface to be treated.

Do not thin.
Stir well using a flat stirring stick or spatula before use.
Apply along the wood grain thinly with a Osmo Soft Tip Flat Brush or other suitable brush.
Work the oil into the surface of the wood.
Allow to dry for 12 hours under good ventilation.
Apply a second coat as above.

Note: Always follow the manufacturer's instructions found on the tin.
