Osmo 3043 Polyx-Oil // Clear Satin
Osmo 3043 Polyx-Oil // Clear Satin
Our preferred finishing method and product, made from environmentally-friendly components for eco-conscious customers. Osmo Polyx Oil is derived from natural plant oils and waxes, providing a hard-wearing and protective surface that is resistant to common liquid spills. The oil is microporous and molecularly bonds with the wood, meaning it does not crack, flake, peel or blister. The finish maintains the natural look and feel of the wood, all while offering protection and durability.
ADVANTAGES:
One major advantage of a hardwax-oil is that it’s much easier to repair/maintain vs a lacquer film finish, and in the event that minor signs of use occur the finish can maintained with supplied oils. With Osmo's Maintenance Oil its simple and quick to bring the finish "back to life".
ECO-FRIENDLY PRODUCT:
We are ever-committed to reducing the amount of VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) we emit during our production process for environmentally conscious reasons, and are also trying to reduce the amount of toxins that our crew is exposed to for health safety precautions. Additionally, the hardwax-oil is a rub-on application (vs. other harsher methods such as spray-on which causes the finish to become airborne), and can be continuously DIY applied to refresh the wood on your table.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
To avoid minor signs of use, we recommend using coasters under serveware containing hot or cold liquids as well as cleaning up spills so as to not leave any moisture to set in over long periods that can cause spots or rings to occur to maintain the condition of the wood. However, spot-repairing is simple and quick if damages occur. Here is a link to a 5-minute maintenance/repair video for helpful tips when spot-repairing your wood furniture: https://vimeo.com/268291711
Cure Period: Osmo Hardwax-Oil(s) like all wood finishes have a cure period. We recommend allowing 2 weeks for the surface to fully cure and harden prior to normal use.
