OsmoPolyx-Oil - 3031 Clear Matte - .75 Liter

There's a certain charm in wooden furniture that's enhanced when treated right. The Osmo Polyx-Oil proved to be the perfect companion for my DIY projects. I have used it on a variety of surfaces including desktops, countertops, and other wood furniture around my home, and the results have been nothing short of impressive.The application was a breeze. Even for someone like me, who isn’t a professional, the process was straightforward and quite forgiving. The claim that it's easy to apply isn’t just a marketing gimmick, it’s the truth. I used a brush for most parts and the oil spread smoothly, covering the wood nicely. There was no need for any buffing, which saved a lot of time and effort.The finish is beautiful and has a matte elegance that elevates the natural look of the wood. It's not just about aesthetics; the protection it offers is commendable. The treated surfaces have endured daily use, showing great resistance to water, dirt, and common household spills like coffee and juice. The claim of it being resistant to such substances holds up well in a practical setting.I haven’t had to redo any of the surfaces yet, but the fact that it can be spot-repaired without sanding is a huge bonus. It's a relief knowing that minor damages or wear over time won’t require a complete sanding down and refinishing of the wood. This is a feature that stands out and makes the Osmo Polyx-Oil a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to enhance and protect their wooden pieces.

Nice smooth finish for acoustic or electric guitars. Very easy to apply.

Works well, but man, it is expensive!

The package got stuck and was delayed during delivery. I reached out to customer service, and they refunded me.

I had floating shelves built for the house and finished it with Osmo; this stuff is amazing and brought out the true beauty of the wood! I then had a custom coffee table built and also used Osmo - IT IS GORGEOUS!! Highly recommend this product for any wood finish. It's easy to use and easy to maintain.

Arrived late which was sucky but that has nothing to do with the product. I've been using Osmo finishes for nearly 20 years.

I used OSMO to refinish a 20-year old dining table made of cherry. It was certainly easier to apply than lacquer, but more challenging than a penetrating oil such as Maloof's; it all has to do with how quickly it dries and if it streaks. OSMO does not dry too fast of you work quickly, but because it dries reasonable hard, you have to be careful not to leave any on the surface or you run the risk of the surface being uneven. That said, I was able to 'sand' away imperfections with white or gray non-abrasive Scotch-brite pads without much trouble.It dries reasonably fast, so without trying to rush things I was able to apply 2 coats per day.After the 4th coat cured for a few days, I applied some past wax and buffed it out with the random orbital sander.The surface was as transparent as glass.Perhaps because I had sealed the table with diluted, clear non-waxed shellac prior to applying OSMO, the OSMO imparted very little color onto the cherry, which is what I was hoping for; letting the natural beauty of the cherry show through.The surface is definitely harder than penetrating oil. But that's the tradeoff: I think the penetrating oil looks and feels more natural, but is not as protective as I suspect the OSMO will be; which is what I need on this hard working dining table.

I'm new to woodworking and made my first coffee table from white oak and epoxy. Osmo Polyx was an incredibly easy finish to apply and looks great.I sanded the epoxy to 320 grit and the wood to 220 grit and applied 2 coats of Polyx 1-day apart. I brushed it on and used a microfiber cloth to rub it in. It has a little bit of a smell, not unpleasant, but I expect that to dissipate as it continues to cure over the next week or two.
