Osmo TopOil - High Solid Oil 3058, Clear Matt, 500ml - Durable Oil for Wooden Kitchen Surfaces, Water-Resistant & Food Safe, Wood Treatment & Wood Finish

Was recommended to use this to protect our wooden shelf. It works a treat and there is plenty left over to retreat the wood in the coming years. The color is good and consistent. Good product.

I have used this now on several projects and will keep on using it because it goes on very easily but produces a superb finish that is very easy to top up when needed. It is designed for kitchen worktops, but I have used it with great success on kitchen tables and chairs, and on children's pine beds when I wanted to bring them back to new. Because it is designed for kitchen surfaces, I have more confidence in its suitability for use with children's furniture, and on using it generally with any other kitchen surface. Once you have stripped off all the previous treatments and gone back to the bare wood, you only need to apply 2 coats, though it will need the best part of 24 hours between coats unless the weather is very warm. The first coat brings back all the beauty in the wood, the second tops off the job. Despite the fact that I used a brush for both coats, there are absolutely no brush marks anywhere and the finish is super smooth and durable. If you do wear though it, or damage the wood, just sand down and re-coat it and it is fine again. I have several current projects lined up for this.

Great product, better then another make that’s meant to do what is says on the tin! My side went white with that product, this product looks great, is waterproof and not faded

This is really good quality oil and easy to apply. I used a cloth and coated my new solid oak kitchen work surfaces three times with it. Its a little expensive but you dont use much each time. It says to allow 8 hours to dry but i found it dries alot quicker which was great. It does not smell to strong when first applied which is also good. I would highly recommend this brand its worth paying the extra money.

Excellent product. Sanded a 8 year old table down to the bare wood using appropriate grades of sandpaper. I applied 3 coats even though 2 was recommended and would have been enough but I thought that if it will be another 8 years then there is no hardship in a third! The matt surface is even and smooth and completely beads water and spills. Highly recommended.

I have had oak kitchen worktops for four years now and have treated them the Danish oil in the past. I decided to give Osmo a try after reading the reviews. I'm so glad I did. Absolutely delighted with the results and so easy to use. I scrubbed my worktops with warm soapy water and allowed them to dry completely, I then sanded them down with grade 80 sandpaper, cleaned that off then finished them off with grade 120 sandpaper. Washed them again and left to dry. After and hour or so I gave the worktops their first coat of Osmo using a brush, I found it easier to put the oil in a paint kettle and apply small amounts using a continuous stroke along the grain of the wood. The oil looked very shiny but after about an hour it began to settle into the wood and left a very subtle sheen. I allowed each coat to dry overnight, you may not have to do this as you could probably coat in the morning and another coat later in the evening, it's just how I did it. I repeated this process another two times, not sanding as much as I did on the first occasion, just a light sand. My worktops look better than they did when new. They feel beautifully smooth and look far more expensive now! The Danish oil I previously used would leave a sticky residue which I would have to buff off and it took a week or so for this to diminish but there is nothing like this with Osmo, worktops are completely dry. I can't recommend it highly enough and will definitely use Osmo from now on.

Very impressed. I've reoiled our kitchen worktops and used a different Tung oil and applied about 8 coats of it in total and still very poor results, remained sticky and poor application in spots and became frustrated so I decided to give this a go. Slighted sanded it down before applying the first coat to prepare it, it dried quickly, easy application of the second coat and looks great and water is beading fine. Would highly recommend this over other brands of oil to save time, money and frustration!

C'est un excellent produit. Sûrement à recommander pour les meubles que l'on souhaite laisser naturels même en cuisine. J'en rachèterai

It's a scam, bottle arrived modified, quality of the surface is very bad, don't buy it.

Dieses Osmo-Öl ist ein recht untypisches Holzöl, hat aber sehr interessante Eigenschaften: * relativ dickflüssig, dringt nicht so tief ein, Verarbeitung eher ähnlich einem Lack => Verarbeitungshinweise beachten, v.a. wenn man schon andere Öle kennt! * beim Auftrag von drei, evtl. vier Schichten das beste Öl, das ich bzgl. Widerstandsfähigkeit gegen Wasser kenne (aber erst nach dem vollständigen Aushärten, mindestens 1-2 Wochen!) * farblos: feuert nur gering an, nur ganz gering gelb/orange Färbung (anfeuern = optischer Nasseffekt) * natural: feuert durch die weiße Pigmentierung praktisch gar nicht an, helle Hölzer sehen fast wie roh aus, dunkle Hölzer bekommen einen mehr oder weniger starken Kalkeffekt * Akazie: habe keine Erfahrung damit Geruch/Gestank: Ja, das Öl enthält Testbenzin (aromatenfrei) als Lösemittel, wie die meisten anderen Öle eben auch Lösemittel enthalten. Das stinkt bei der Verarbeitung, also gut lüften. Nach dem vollständigen Aushärten (1-2 Wochen) riecht aber gar nichts mehr und es ist für Lebensmittelkontakt und Kinderspielzeug zugelassen. Wer es ganz öko will, lässt besser die Finger von solchen Ölen und nimmt z.B. Leinöl. Das ist dann kräftig gelborange, braucht lange zum Aushärten, dafür kann man es trinken. Verarbeitung: * Unbedingt die Verarbeitungshinweise beachten! Das ist kein Öl, mit dem man das Holz sättigt und dann irgendwann den Überstand abnimmt, sondern man bringt eine dünne Schicht mit einem Lappen auf, egalisiert sie zügig innerhalb weniger Minuten und berührt sie dann nicht mehr, bis sie trocken ist. Sonst gibt es hässliche Klebestellen. Lieber nach dem Trocknen weitere Schichten aufbringen. * Vorher Probestücke machen mit der gleichen Auftragstechnik wie später. Es macht vor allem beim pigmentieren Öl einen optischen Unterschied, ob man einen Lappen oder Schwamm o.ä. nimmt. * Das farblose Öl verhält sich gutmütig und ist einfach zu verarbeiten. * Das pigmentierte Öl "natural" ist eher schwierig zu verarbeiten, da man sehr auf eine gleichmäßige Verarbeitung achten muss. Berührt man eine schon antrocknende Fläche (nach wenigen Minuten) nochmal oder hat irgendwo mehr Öl drauf, kommt es zu weißen Schleiern oder Flecken durch die Pigmente. Das verlangt nach Übung, v.a. Innenkanten sind nicht ganz ohne. Optik: Den recht rohen Holzcharakter bei hellen Hölzern finde ich Klasse. Ich habe auf Erle (geschliffen auf 320) zwei Schichten natural und dann eine Schicht farblos aufgebracht, an den Stellen mit später evtl. stehenden Wassertropfen vorsichtshalber noch eine weitere Schicht farblos. Sieht für mich toll aus. Evtl. hätte auch eine Schicht in natural gereicht, dann wäre das Holz minimal gelber/oranger geworden. Fazit: Ein tolles Öl, das den natürlichen Holzcharakter bewahrt, unüblich zu verarbeiten und ziemlich robust gegen Wassertropfen ist. Wegen der etwas schwierigen Verarbeitung des natural-Öls hätte ich fast einen Punkt abgezogen, aber ich will nicht Osmo meine anfangs mangelnde Übung damit anlasten. Also fünf Sterne!

The Osmo TopOil High Solid pil was applied on an 26 year old oak table that had been stored in a non heated garage during the last 11 years. When the table was new it was treated with urethane oil, and first I thought I had to continue using this type of oil. However, it was more expensive and more difficult to find a supplier for in my country. Therefore I decided to buy the Osmo TopOil. It has come very well. I used a piece of a cloth rag t spread it out, and about 5 minutes later I used another larger piece of this cloth rag to wipe off excess oil to get a thin homogeneous layer. The next day I used the same procedure a second time. Hopefully this is enough to obtain a well protected surface for my table that stands in a glazed in terrace all the year with temperatures ranging between 0 - 40 degrees C.

Fabulous hard-wearing organic finish, easy to apply and renew.
