• Mahogany
• Teak
• South American Walnut
• Sapele
• Bamboo
• Acacia
• Ipe
• Merbau

Also not recommended:

• Idigbo: contains yellow dyes which leaches when the wood becomes wet and stains when in contact within iron.
• Other woods treated with a varnish, lacquer or other surface coatings must be completely sanded before use.

Notes

• Stir well using a flat stirring stick or spatula. Failure to mix the colour and all ingredients could lead to an increased patchiness.
• For ingredient-rich hardwoods species use Osmo Wood Wax Finish Extra Thin.
• Polyx-Oil Raw is designed for sanded or raw wood only – not suitable for dark wood species.
• If excessively applied, or if the surface has been sanded to a very fine grade of sandpaper – the white pigments can show visibly in some areas. In this scenario, the remedy is to carefully sand the surface back then finish to the same sanding grade or texture as surrounding areas. Apply the Polyx-Oil 3044 Raw very thinly along the grain and spread well.
• For lighter coloured wood species: eg Oak, Pine, Birch or Spruce, two thin coats of Osmo Polyx-Oil 3044 Raw are recommended to finish the wood. However, for wood species with limited streaks of dark natural colour, the recommended two coats may contrast a little with the darker background. To reach a compromise, consider applying one thin coat of Osmo Polyx-Oil 3044 Raw, followed by one thin coat of Osmo Polyx-Oil Original 3062 clear matt for the final top coat. Alternatively, other sheen levels in the clear Osmo Polyx-Oil Original could be considered for the final top coat. Always trial apply first before treating the main area.
• Wood first treated with Osmo Wood Protector 4006 may appear a little more dark. Always trial apply Osmo Polyx-Oil 3044 Raw over the Wood Protector to ensure the final appearance meets with expectations.
• Multi-purpose cleaners such as washing up liquids and detergents are highly detrimental to the finished surface and is not recommended to be used as discolouration or staining may be possible.
• Other household cleaning products such as vanish, bleach, baking soda etc. are likely to cause severe discolouration or staining.
