Osmo UV Protection Oil Tints 429 - Natural - lightly pigmented exterior UV Protection Oil for light woods!
Osmo UV Protection Oil Extra Natural contains special ingredients which stop the suns rays from ageing and greying your wood, without losing its natural beauty, colour or character. Based on natural oils, UV Protection Oil Extra will leave a natural satin-matt finish that is breathable so does not peel, flake or blister.
It is intended for use on light coloured woods (particularly Oak) and has a slight pigmentation to prevent darkening of the timber.
Original Osmo UV Protection Oil 420 Clear, 425 Oak and 428 Cedar.
Osmo UV Protection Oil Extra contains additional active ingredients that significantly extend the protection period, up to 12 times, whether used as a stand alone finish or over a stained finish when compared to other UV Oils. It is a basecoat and top coat all in one that protects your wood against mould algae and fungal attack.
Please see the INFO tab above for Coverage, Preparation and Application advice.
The OSMO Oil appears to match my requirement of a weather protection which retains the colour of the bare wood.
Preparation: The wooden surface must be clean and dry before applying Osmo UV Protection Oil Extra. Thoroughly remove any previous varnish by sanding with P120 grit abrasives.
Application: Test in an inconspicuous area to confirm suitability and the final colour. Apply Osmo UV Protection Oil Extra evenly with a good quality brush such as Mako 5* Pro Woodcare Brush or for larger areas Osmo 220mm Floor Brush. On bare timber two coats will be required, apply a second coat after allowing to dry overnight or 10-12 hours as per the first.
Areas of use: External joinery including windows and doors, cladding, gates, garden furniture and much more.
Can it be used on Green Oak? A moisture test must be performed before using Osmo UV Protection Oil on Green Oak. Because the moisture in Green Oak and oils do not mix, the moisture content must be below 20% before treating with UV Protection Oil.
The Oak and Cedar versions of UV Protection Oil produces a slightly darker finish than the standard Clear, enhancing the beautiful colour of the wood and giving longer UV protection, whilst the Natural is specifically for use on light coloured woods.
