Is OSMO Polyx-Oil applied like other finishes?
OSMO Polyx-Oil is applied differently than most finishes you’ll find. This finish cannot be simply painted on, or applied and left to soak in. Instead, the Polyx-Oil must be rubbed into the wood using an abrasive applicator and a fair amount of elbow grease. Essentially, there must be enough heat and friction to break-down the wax content of the finish, so it will penetrate into the pores of the wood. The Polyx-Oil is a fairly simple finish to apply, but can be difficult to fix if applied improperly. Simply READ AND FOLLOW OUR APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS, and you’ll end up with an incredibly durable and beautiful floor!
