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 before use. Failure to mix the colour and all ingredients could lead to an increased patchiness.
• For dark or exotic wood species, use Osmo Wood Wax Finish Clear Extra Thin.
• Avoid covering during drying and curing. After 2-3 weeks, the surface is fully cured.
• Two coats can be applied on wooden furniture, doors and joinery, but only one coat is recommended on wooden flooring – a clear top coat of Osmo Polyx-Oil is required (approx. 24hrs after the first coat).
• 3040 White is recommended to be used as a stand-alone finish without a top coat of clear Polyx-Oil. Alternatively 3040 can be used as a top coat after application of Osmo Wood Wax Finish 3111 White, to preserve the desired intensity of white and reduce the effects of yellowing.
• For a wider choice of colour tones, or if a more intense colour tone is desired see Osmo Wood Wax Finish.
• A base coat of Osmo Wood Protector 4006 is recommended for use in bathrooms or kitchens. Please be aware that Osmo Wood Protector 4006 may darken the wood very slightly. A trial application is highly recommended.
• Avoid covering during drying and curing. After 2-3 weeks, the surface is fully cured.
• 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.
• Be cautious if applying 3062 Clear Matt over a dark coloured surface such as 3075 Black. The matting agents within 3062 may produce a white mist or powdery effect upon the surface. It is recommended to apply 3065 Semi-Matt if a sheen is not desired. Always trial apply!
