Product information

Description

General description

Osmo Decking Oil in Grey 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.

Technical specifications

  • Volume: 750ml
  • Coverage: 24m²/L with one coat
  • Dry time: 12 hours
  • Recommended coats: 2 coats or one coat plus top coat of Osmo Anti-Slip Decking Oil 430
  • Moisture content max: 20%
  • Surface preparation

  • Bare wood species with high natural extractives need to weather for a minimum of 4 weeks before initial treatment.
  • Resinous woods like Larch or Douglas Fir require at least 6 weeks of weathering.
  • Pressure impregnated wood and tropical species (e.g., Massaranduba, Bangkirai, Garapa, Iroko) need to weather for at least 3 months.
  • Cedar also requires a 3-month weathering period.
  • Greyed and weathered wood can be refreshed with Osmo Wood Reviver Power-Gel before applying the oil.
  • Installation

  • Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and frost-free before application.
  • Stir the oil well using a flat stirring stick or spatula before use.
  • Lightly sand old microporous stains or completely remove old varnishes prior to application.
  • If sanding is performed, ensure fresh wood species are weathered as directed to improve absorbency.
  • Use a stiff brush (Osmo Flat Brush) or a lint-free cloth to apply the oil thinly and evenly along the wood grain.
  • For easier application, use the Osmo Decking Brush (150 mm) designed specifically for decking.
  • Allow for good ventilation while drying; lower temperatures and higher humidity will delay drying.
  • Usage

  • Apply the first coat to all sides of the wood if possible, especially if the wood is absorbent.
  • Once the first coat is dry, apply the second coat thinly.
  • If a lighter color is desired, use clear Anti-Slip Decking Oil 430 for the second coat.
  • Choose darker colors for enhanced UV protection.
  • Avoid using jet or power washers for cleaning the surface, as they can affect the oil's coverage.
  • Other information

  • Always wear a dust mask when sanding.
  • For additional protection against blue stain, rot, and insect attack, pre-treat the wood with Osmo WR Impregnation if possible on all sides.
