Review on 🔍 Osmo Polyx-Oil Satin 3054 - Clear Finish - 2.5 Liters by Sharon Watson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Spot repair if necessary!

My friend convinced me to use Osmo Polyx oil and I am not disappointed. I used to be a Bona Traffic fan, but I loved the spot coloring potential of the Osmo. It's more labor intensive to use, but hopefully I'll never have to sand an entire floor again. This is the process I've used since The Friend's Guide to Flooring: sanded to 120 grit, scrubbed thoroughly, rinsed with filtered water, and mopped. I used the Osmo brush to apply a thin coat and rubbed it into the fibers in 3 foot sections down the length of the board. I made several bedrooms at once, overlooking the hallway and the rest of the house. After 15 minutes I wiped part of the floor dry and moved on to the next part. The next day, before the second coat, I used a 180 grit sanding pad on a rod to sand lightly to remove any grit that had come up with the water. I've also used it for doors and trim, not sure I'll do it again, but I like the potential for spot colors. used (3) 2.5 liter jars per 1000 square feet of red oak for two coats. I love the look and so far it feels like a durable finish. Again, this is more labor intensive than poly, but imagine never having to repaint an entire floor again!
