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

I have had oak kitchen worktops for four years now and have treated them the Danish oil in the past. I decided to give Osmo a try after reading the reviews. I'm so glad I did. Absolutely delighted with the results and so easy to use. I scrubbed my worktops with warm soapy water and allowed them to dry completely, I then sanded them down with grade 80 sandpaper, cleaned that off then finished them off with grade 120 sandpaper. Washed them again and left to dry. After and hour or so I gave the worktops their first coat of Osmo using a brush, I found it easier to put the oil in a paint kettle and apply small amounts using a continuous stroke along the grain of the wood. The oil looked very shiny but after about an hour it began to settle into the wood and left a very subtle sheen. I allowed each coat to dry overnight, you may not have to do this as you could probably coat in the morning and another coat later in the evening, it's just how I did it. I repeated this process another two times, not sanding as much as I did on the first occasion, just a light sand. My worktops look better than they did when new. They feel beautifully smooth and look far more expensive now! The Danish oil I previously used would leave a sticky residue which I would have to buff off and it took a week or so for this to diminish but there is nothing like this with Osmo, worktops are completely dry. I can't recommend it highly enough and will definitely use Osmo from now on.

I am such a fan of Osmo top oil. I bought it 2 and half years ago to seal my new oak kitchen worktops, it was simple and easy to do and had only just recently started to become patchy in places due to wear and tear and never yellowed, peeled or blistered and hasn't gone black around the sink. It has taken everything I've thrown at it, red wine, curry etc and wiped off easily - even when left over night! I re-bought a tin of Osmo clear wood protector, applied and left to dry for 8 hours, then applied the top oil - it looks super shiny when you first apply it (as in the photo I've attached) but when you leave it, it sets Matt and smooth - the worktops look brand new! Excellent product, wouldn't dream of using anything else!

Was recommended to use this to protect our wooden shelf. It works a treat and there is plenty left over to retreat the wood in the coming years. The color is good and consistent. Good product.

This is really good quality oil and easy to apply. I used a cloth and coated my new solid oak kitchen work surfaces three times with it. Its a little expensive but you dont use much each time. It says to allow 8 hours to dry but i found it dries alot quicker which was great. It does not smell to strong when first applied which is also good. I would highly recommend this brand its worth paying the extra money.

Excellent product. Sanded a 8 year old table down to the bare wood using appropriate grades of sandpaper. I applied 3 coats even though 2 was recommended and would have been enough but I thought that if it will be another 8 years then there is no hardship in a third! The matt surface is even and smooth and completely beads water and spills. Highly recommended.

I have used this now on several projects and will keep on using it because it goes on very easily but produces a superb finish that is very easy to top up when needed. It is designed for kitchen worktops, but I have used it with great success on kitchen tables and chairs, and on children's pine beds when I wanted to bring them back to new. Because it is designed for kitchen surfaces, I have more confidence in its suitability for use with children's furniture, and on using it generally with any other kitchen surface. Once you have stripped off all the previous treatments and gone back to the bare wood, you only need to apply 2 coats, though it will need the best part of 24 hours between coats unless the weather is very warm. The first coat brings back all the beauty in the wood, the second tops off the job. Despite the fact that I used a brush for both coats, there are absolutely no brush marks anywhere and the finish is super smooth and durable. If you do wear though it, or damage the wood, just sand down and re-coat it and it is fine again. I have several current projects lined up for this.

Great product, better then another make that’s meant to do what is says on the tin! My side went white with that product, this product looks great, is waterproof and not faded

Product was recommended to me by a professional kitchen fitter to protect my new kitchen worktops. Very easy to apply…low odour, dries quickly with a lovely flat finish … any water droplets now slide off the worktops “like water off a ducks back” - great product!

It's a scam, bottle arrived modified, quality of the surface is very bad, don't buy it.

Ich habe das Osmo Öl zeitgleich auf gleicher Holzoberfläche ( Buche Arbeitsplatte, unbehandelt) mit dem Ikea Holzöl für Arbeitsplatten und Schneidebretter getestet. Die Öle habe ich jeweils erst einmal mit dem Pinsel aufgetragen, dann am nächsten Tag mit 240er Schleifpapier abgeschliffen, und mit je einem Tag Abstand noch 2mal mit einem fesselfreien Lappen geölt. Das Osmo Produkt ist überragend, es zieht gut ein, das Ergebnis ist eine gleichmäßig bearbeitete Oberfläche, die sämtlichen Flecken diverser Getränke statthält (Bier, Sekt, Wein, Limonade, Cola). Einfach mit einem feuchten Lappen abwischen und die Oberfläche sah nach einer Party auf der selbst gezimmerten Theke wieder aus wie neu! Die Oberfläche wird natürlich dunkler als unbehandelt, aber, wenn man zwischen den Arbeitsschritten genügend Abstand einhält, erhält man eine leicht samtige, jedoch keinesfalls fettige Oberfläche. Das Produkt ist sehr ergiebig, hatte ich erst noch bedenken, ob die doch recht geringe Menge für meine beidseitig bearbeiteten Arbeitsplatten reicht. Der Geruch ist leicht streng, aber nicht brennend oder gar beißend in den Schleimhäuten. Ist sich nach spätestens einem Tag verflogen. Dagegen wird die Oberfläche mit dem Ikea Öl fleckig und somit optisch sehr unschön! Es zieht auch nicht so gut ein. Auftragen lässt es sich gut und der Geruch ist geringer, aber im direkten Vergleich ist der doch enorme Preisunterschied gerechtfertigt, wenn man auf eine gleichmäßige Optik und Haptik Wert legt! Das Ikea Öl verwende ich nur noch für Schneidebretter.

Super huile

The Osmo TopOil High Solid pil was applied on an 26 year old oak table that had been stored in a non heated garage during the last 11 years. When the table was new it was treated with urethane oil, and first I thought I had to continue using this type of oil. However, it was more expensive and more difficult to find a supplier for in my country. Therefore I decided to buy the Osmo TopOil. It has come very well. I used a piece of a cloth rag t spread it out, and about 5 minutes later I used another larger piece of this cloth rag to wipe off excess oil to get a thin homogeneous layer. The next day I used the same procedure a second time. Hopefully this is enough to obtain a well protected surface for my table that stands in a glazed in terrace all the year with temperatures ranging between 0 - 40 degrees C.

C'est un excellent produit. Sûrement à recommander pour les meubles que l'on souhaite laisser naturels même en cuisine. J'en rachèterai
