Product information

Description

General description

Osmo Decking Oil in Douglas Fir is designed to enhance and protect wooden decking while maintaining its natural character. This oil is safe for humans, animals, and plants once dry, and it offers high resistance to water and dirt. Its microporous, penetrating finish prevents cracking, peeling, or flaking, and it does not require sanding when topping up the coating.

Technical specifications

Dry time: 12 hours

Coverage: 24m²/L with one coat

Recommended coats: 2 coats, or one coat plus a 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 or be cleaned with Osmo Brush Cleaner and Thinner.

Resinous wood (e.g., Larch, Douglas Fir) requires at least 6 weeks of weathering.

Pressure impregnated wood and tropical species (e.g., Massaranduba, Bangkirai) 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.

Stir the oil well before use and do not thin.

For best results, apply the first coat to all sides of the wood before installation if possible.

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).

Usage

Allow for good ventilation while drying; lower temperatures and higher humidity will delay drying.

Apply the second coat thinly once the first coat is dry.

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

Choose darker colors for higher UV protection; avoid using clear Anti-Slip Decking Oil 430 as a standalone finish due to limited UV protection.

Other information

Always wear a dust mask when sanding.

Thoroughly clean or lightly sand old microporous stains or completely remove old varnishes before application.

Trial application is recommended for unfamiliar surfaces.

Avoid using jet or power washers to clean the surface as they can affect the oil's coverage.
