General description

Osmo Decking Oil in Douglas Fir is designed to enhance the natural beauty of wooden decking while providing robust protection. This oil penetrates deeply into the wood, ensuring that the natural wood character remains visible. It is safe for humans, animals, and plants once dry, and offers high resistance to water and dirt, making it an ideal choice for outdoor applications.

Coverage: 24 m²/L with one coat

Recommended coats: 2 coats or one coat plus top coat of Osmo Anti-Slip Decking Oil 430

Surface preparation

Bare wood species with high natural extractives need to weather for a minimum of 4 weeks before treatment.

Resinous woods like Larch or Douglas Fir require at least 6 weeks of weathering.

Pressure impregnated wood and tropical species need to weather for at least 3 months.

Cedar requires a 3-month weathering period.

Greyed and weathered wood can be refreshed with Osmo Wood Reviver Power-Gel before applying the oil.

Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and frost-free before application.

Installation

Stir well before use with a flat stirring stick or spatula.

Clean or lightly sand old microporous stains; completely remove old varnishes if necessary.

For fresh wood species, weathering may be required again after sanding.

Use a stiff brush (Osmo Flat Brush) or a lint-free cloth for application.

For ease of application, the Osmo Decking Brush (150 mm) is recommended.

Apply thinly and evenly along the wood grain, ensuring good ventilation while drying.

Usage

Apply the first coat to all sides of the wood if possible before installation.

Allow the first coat to dry before applying the second coat, also thinly.

If a lighter color is desired, use clear Anti-Slip Decking Oil 430 for the second coat.

Choose richer, darker colors for enhanced UV protection.

A trial application is recommended for unfamiliar surfaces to assess the finished appearance.

Other information

Avoid using jet or power washers for cleaning, as they can affect coverage.

Always wear a dust mask when sanding.

If additional protection against blue stain, rot, and insect attack is needed, pre-treat the wood with Osmo WR Impregnation.
