OsmoPolyx-Oil - 3031 Clear Matte - .75 Liter

I used OSMO to refinish a 20-year old dining table made of cherry. It was certainly easier to apply than lacquer, but more challenging than a penetrating oil such as Maloof's; it all has to do with how quickly it dries and if it streaks. OSMO does not dry too fast of you work quickly, but because it dries reasonable hard, you have to be careful not to leave any on the surface or you run the risk of the surface being uneven. That said, I was able to 'sand' away imperfections with white or gray non-abrasive Scotch-brite pads without much trouble.It dries reasonably fast, so without trying to rush things I was able to apply 2 coats per day.After the 4th coat cured for a few days, I applied some past wax and buffed it out with the random orbital sander.The surface was as transparent as glass.Perhaps because I had sealed the table with diluted, clear non-waxed shellac prior to applying OSMO, the OSMO imparted very little color onto the cherry, which is what I was hoping for; letting the natural beauty of the cherry show through.The surface is definitely harder than penetrating oil. But that's the tradeoff: I think the penetrating oil looks and feels more natural, but is not as protective as I suspect the OSMO will be; which is what I need on this hard working dining table.

I had floating shelves built for the house and finished it with Osmo; this stuff is amazing and brought out the true beauty of the wood! I then had a custom coffee table built and also used Osmo - IT IS GORGEOUS!! Highly recommend this product for any wood finish. It's easy to use and easy to maintain.

Have used this for many years on wood countertops in the kitchen. Protects from water and stains

I'm new to woodworking and made my first coffee table from white oak and epoxy. Osmo Polyx was an incredibly easy finish to apply and looks great.I sanded the epoxy to 320 grit and the wood to 220 grit and applied 2 coats of Polyx 1-day apart. I brushed it on and used a microfiber cloth to rub it in. It has a little bit of a smell, not unpleasant, but I expect that to dissipate as it continues to cure over the next week or two.

This product is great. Extremely easy to apply and is all natural with very minimal scent. Quick drying (considering) and love that if you make a mistake, after it dries spot sand and reapply. Make sure to use gloves and per other people’s utube videos don’t sand smoother then a 320 grit. I’m definitely going to be using for other projects.Also, I was worried when Amazon showed that it was getting shipped with my espresso pods but as you can see it was well sealed.
