Teak-Oil Spray

Surface Preparation

Bare wood species with a high content of natural wood extractives need to weather off (min. 4 weeks) before the initial treatment or be cleaned with Osmo Brush Cleaner and Thinner (degreaser).

Resinous wood, such as Larch or Douglas Fir, needs to weather off for at least 6 weeks to improve absorbency. Pressure impregnated wood and tropical species like Massaranduba, Bangkirai, Garapa, Iroko need to weather off for at least 3 months. Cedar requires a 3 month weathering period to improve absorbency.

Greyed and weathered wood can be refreshed with Osmo Wood Reviver Power-Gel before applying clear Osmo Teak-Oil Spray 008. Avoid using jet / power washers to clean the surface as they can significantly affect the coverage of Osmo Teak-Oil Spray 008. Wood surface must be clean, dry and frost-free (moisture content max. 20%).

Osmo Teak-Oil Spray 008 is ready to use. Shake spray can well and carry out trial spray.

Thoroughly clean or lightly sand old microporous stains or completely remove old varnishes before application. If any sanding works are carried out some fresh wood species must be weathered as directed above to improve absorbency once more. Sanding to finishing grades of no more than a P120 grit are recommended. Always wear a dust mask when sanding.

If possible, and if the wood is absorbent please apply the first coat to all sides before installation.

The finished surface is influenced by several factors, including the condition of the wood. Therefore, a trial application is always required, especially for unfamiliar surfaces.

If additional protection against blue stain, rot and insect attack is desired ( eg soft woods), pre-treat the wood, if possible on all sides, with Osmo WR Impregnation.

Method of Application

Spraying distance approx. 25 cm. Afterwards rub in with a brush.

While applying, cover and protect surrounding areas and parts that should not be treated against the spray mist. Wipe away any excess with a cloth.

Allow to dry for approx. 12 hours under good ventilation and apply a second coat.

When renovating, one coat applied is usually sufficient to the clean and dry surface.

Clean spray nozzle after use.

Note

Osmo Teak-Oil Spray 008 is clear satin and therefore does not protect against UV radiation from the sun (greying). If the original colour tone of freshly sawn wood should be preserved (e.g. Bangkirai), we recommend a coat of Osmo Decking-Oils in a natural shade in the appropriate colour tone.

Many wood species contain water-soluble coloured extractives ( eg Larch ) which may leach out naturally when weathered. Weathered, bare wood surfaces can be refreshed with Osmo Wood Reviver Power-gel.

Using power washers will severely decrease the coverage of the finish and general or multi-purpose cleaners will increase the frequency of maintenance and recoating.

Care

Regular Cleaning: Damp cleaning with Osmo Decking Cleaner using Osmo Decking Cleaning Brush.

Occasional Maintenance: If necessary, intensive cleaning and refreshing using Osmo Wood Reviver Power Gel or Osmo Gard Clean ( for green growth) .

Recoating: Simply re-apply one coat onto the clean and dry surface when signs of wear become visible.

Recommended After Weathering Period

For the following wood types, a weathering period is recommended. Depending on wood species, new or freshly sanded wood requires up to 12 weeks (approximate) exposure to the exterior elements before application.

After the weathering period, it is generally recommended to clean the surface from the extractive content. Osmo Wood Reviver Power-Gel can be used to refresh the colour of the wood. If necessary and before application, de-grease the dried surface with Osmo Brush Cleaner and Thinner (degreaser), always trial apply!

For all other ingredient-rich hardwood species not mentioned may require a varied period of exposure. Please contact us for further information.

• Exposed surfaces ( in full sun) will allow the wood to naturally grey over time.
• Choosing a coloured Osmo Decking oil will offer some UV protection and slow the natural greying process
• Recommended application is 35ml/m²

Protects, maintains and enhances the wood surface, producing a smooth slightly satin finish which is extremely water resistant and dirt repellent. The microporous finish is based on natural vegetable oils and allows the wood to breathe and helps regulate the moisture content reducing swelling and shrinkage, the penetrated finish will not crack, flake, peel or blister. High quality, long-lasting protection whilst allowing the wood’s appearance to fade naturally into a beautiful patina colour over time.
