SAY "GOODBYE" TO WATER MARKS
Osmo TopOil is a High-solid Food-safe Hardwax-oil wood finish which is extremely tough and hard-wearing. It is water repellent and dirt resistant as well as resistant to wine, beer, cola, coffee, tea, fruit juices, milk and water. These types of liquid spillages will tightly bead on the surface without leaving any marks, simply clean by wiping with a cloth.

Application Tips
- For wood species that have high contents of resin and/or oil (such as Teak, Mahogany, Cedar, Iroko etc.), we recommend to apply Wood Wax Finish Extra Thin instead.
- Multi-purpose cleaners such as washing up liquids and detergents are highly detrimental to the finished surface and is not recommended to be used as discoloration or staining may be possible.
- Other household cleaning products such as vanish, bleach, baking soda etc. are likely to cause severe discoloration or staining.

Preparation
- Ensure that real wood kitchen work surfaces and worktops are clear of dirt, debris and other contaminates before applying Osmo Top Oil.
- New or previously oiled work tops can be lightly sanded back to a 120 – 150 grit finish
- To remove existing paint or varnishes, use a suitable paint or varnish remover
- If desired, fill small cracks, larger joints or holes with an appropriate filler
Application
BY HAND WITH A CLOTH/RAG
Apply three thin coats with a lint-free cloth.
- Scrub product into wood using cloth in a circular or figure 8 pattern
- Allow roughly 15-minutes for oils to penetrate
- Working with the grain, remove all excess product from surface
- Allow 8-10 hours drying time before recoating
- Apply second and third coats following previous steps
BY HAND WITH A BRUSH
Apply two thin coats with an Osmo Natural Bristle Brush or similar brush.
- With a brush, work product into wood working in all directions, ensuring a thin application
- Allow roughly 15-minutes for oils to penetrate
- Working the brush with the grain, evenly distribute all product on surface and remove excess
- There should be no visible high-build or film – if this is observed, product is over applied
- Allow 8-10 hours drying time before recoating
- Apply second coat following above procedure
- Clean brushes using Osmo Brush Cleaner and Thinner or Turpentine
Tinting: Osmo Wood Wax Finish can also be used to lightly tint TopOil 3056 up to a ratio of 10:1. Do not exceed a ratio of 10 parts TopOil 3056 to 1 part Wood Wax Finish.
Aftercare
Oiled surfaces should not be cleaned with a steam cleaner or steam mop as this degrades the performance of the finish.
Regular Cleaning
Kitchen work surfaces and table tops that have been treated with Osmo Top Oil can be cleaned with Osmo Wash and Care and a damp cloth, then wiped dry.
Deep Cleaning
Stubborn marks and stains can be removed by using Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner that both cleans and regenerates oiled surfaces
Renovation
Renovating, even partially, is easy. Just clean and re-treat worn areas with a thin coat of Osmo Top Oil – no sanding, no repair marks, no removal of previous Top Oil finish. No repair marks will be visible if applied thinly and appropriately.
Finishing
If a deeper satin finish is required, the oiled surface can be polished with Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner once the surface has fully dried.
