Information
Osmo Blanke Was is the product for treating hardwoods rich in oil content, which are primarily dark woods.
Examples of these wood types include Meranti, Wenge, Merbau, etc. In the recommendations, you will find the different wood types with the recommended finish for your specific wood type.
Hardwoods (tropical woods) tend to absorb products more slowly.
Osmo Blanke Was is a clear oil.
Because Blanke Was is thinner than Hardwax-Olie, it is easier for woods rich in oil content to absorb the oil.
1 liter is approximately sufficient for 24 m² with one coat; this depends heavily on the wood type.
Instructions for use
Fully finished surfaces in two days, two coats
1. Apply the first finishing coat to the raw, sanded wood (approx. 35ml/m²).
2. Allow to dry for approximately 30 minutes. Wipe off excess oil and brush over areas that are insufficiently saturated.
3. Drying time is approx. 12 hours (at 23 degrees/50% relative humidity). Drying will take longer at lower temperatures or higher humidity. Ensure good ventilation at all times.
4. Apply the second coat (approx. 35ml/m²).
5. Allow to dry for approximately 30 minutes and then wipe off excess oil.
6. Drying time is approx. 12 hours; see point 3.
Note: Apply a very thin layer.
