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

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!

Great product was recommended to buy this and it was better value on here than the local hardware shop.Dries in the time stated , colour was just what we wanted.Easy to apply covered the area well.

Overall, I’m impressed with this Osmo TopOil 3058 Clear Matt, which I used to re-oil our oak kitchen worktops. One 500ml tin was enough to do two layers everywhere in our medium-sized kitchen, plus a third layer in heavily-used spots.Our worktops were last oiled in 2016 and had become quite patchy, marked and worn in places. I first used a Bosch sander to sand back the existing surface using 80 grit paper, followed by 120 grit. However, it wasn’t very effective at removing the old oil and the sandpaper gummed up quite easily.Two to three slow passes with the hand sander did even out the surface quite nicely, but without fixing the deeper dents/marks. I didn’t want to spend several more hours sanding to get the surface 100% perfect, it’s pretty good as is. Most minor imperfections have been removed.I did see one guy on YouTube using a sharp scraper device to remove the old oil before recoating. It seems much faster than sanding.After sanding, I wiped the surface down with isopropyl alcohol, which removed any loose dust. Then I applied the TopOil in a thin layer using a lint-free cloth, moving in the direction of the wood grain. My technique was to pour a little more oil than necessary, spreading it in long horizontal strokes with the cloth. Then after 20 minutes of letting the oil soak, I went over again, mopping up any excess. This gave a nice even finish and kept the coat nice and thin. I left the first coat to dry overnight and then applied a second coat in the same way the next day. I ended up with a tough, durable finish that’s clearly very water-repellent, with nice tight beads of water on the surface. In June with warm temperatures and good ventilation the worktops definitely felt dry after 8 hours. They may have even been ready to recoat after 6 hours if I’d been in a rush.This oil is clear, so the lighter patches on the worktop (from previous heavy use) are still visible. With hindsight I wish I’d used a tinted oil, such as TopOil Acacia, to help provide a more even colour. But as things are, I’m happy for the slight colour differences in the worktop to be considered as “adding character”. The wife agrees that the worktop looks much better than it did before, I think I’m just being a little perfectionistic. I bet in a couple of weeks I won’t even notice the slight imperfections.A couple of our dogs have a bad habit of jumping up at the worktop and their claws can leave marks along the edge. Will be interesting to see how well the surface holds up once it’s properly cured in a couple of weeks. If the dogs leave any marks in the meantime, it’s reassuring to know I can just apply a little touch up with the oil without needing to sand again.I’ll definitely buy Osmo TopOil again, but next time I’ll use the tinted Acacia variety.

Does not work as well as I hoped.

The media could not be loaded. Easy enough to apply and looks great on my walnut desktop. Just make sure you wipe off any excess before it begins to cure.

great product.

Did quite a lot of research into what oil I needed for my new kitchen work surfaces and as this was recommended for kitchen and food preparation areas, I bought this Osmo oil. I sanded the area with a very fine paper, hoovered the dust up and then wiped over with a damp cloth. I left for about half an hour and applied the first coat with a brush in the direction of the wood grain. I then left overnight and the next day, applied the second coat using a lint free cloth. I left overnight again and the following morning it was all ready to use.I am delighted with the product, Any spillages and splashes just bubble on the top and do not penetrate the surface and it looks extremely good.I recommend and will be using again when it is time to redo but next time, only one coat will be required. Definitely worth paying for quality.I used clear matt.

As it says on the can
