Notes & Tips
- WR Base Coat is not a wood finish and is a base coat only. A finishing product from the Osmo range is required within three months
- If possible, although not essential; apply to all sides of the wood to give the strongest protection. Wipe excess from edges with a dry cloth before leaving to dry
- Some applications may raise the wood’s grain, if necessary de-nib to smoothen the surface
- Use biocides safely. Always read the label and product information before use
- Supercedes the previous "WR Base Coat Aqua" with an improved oil-based version
- Osmo WR Base Coat is not to be used alone, instead it is a clear impregnation to protect wood against rot, blue stain and insect attack
- Compatible with all common types of glue and putty (except silicone products). We recommend galvanized, anti-corrosive fasteners
- To guarantee full protection (against UV rays) and the long-lasting beauty of wood, a top coat (e.g. with One Coat Only HSPlus, Natural Oil Woodstain, Country Colour, Opaque White Gloss or UV-Protection-Oil) is required after the impregnation has completely dried
- If the coloured surface should have an external surface protection (film protection), we recommend for non-biocidal wood finishes (One Coat Only HSPlus and Country Colour) a top coat with UV-Protection-Oil Extra
- Do not coat white finished surfaces with UV-Protection-Oil Extra

Anna on 2023-10-24 21:39:39 | Question:
Hi, How many coats are required? Thank you, Anna |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Assuming the timber is clean, dry, frost-free and lightly abraded prior to application, 2-3 coats is recommended by either brush or roller, spreading out thinly and evenly along the wood texture to achieve the best results. Once the timber is completely dried, we'd recommend a finish coat from the Osmo exterior finish range such as Osmo UV Protection Oil, Osmo Natural Oil Wood Stain or Osmo Country Shades, depending on the desired outcome. | |
