General description

Osmo Decking Oil for Garapa wood is designed to enhance and protect wooden decking while maintaining the natural character of the wood. 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: 24 m²/L with one coat
  • 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 or be cleaned with Osmo Brush Cleaner and Thinner.
  • Resinous woods like Larch or Douglas Fir require at least 6 weeks of weathering.
  • Pressure impregnated wood and tropical species such as Massaranduba, Bangkirai, Garapa, and 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.
  • Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and frost-free.
  • Installation

  • Stir well before use using a flat stirring stick or spatula.
  • Thoroughly clean or lightly sand old microporous stains or completely remove old varnishes before application.
  • If sanding is done, ensure fresh wood species are weathered again 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 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 before installation.
  • Once dry, apply the second coat thinly.
  • If a less intense color is desired, use clear Anti-Slip Decking Oil 430 for the second coat.
  • Choose richer and 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.
  • Trial applications are recommended for unfamiliar surfaces to assess the finished look.
  • If additional protection against blue stain, rot, and insect attack is desired, pre-treat the wood with Osmo WR Impregnation.
