Question 1

Which wood types is Osmo Blanke Was suitable for?

Accepted Answer

Osmo Blanke Was is specifically designed for hardwoods rich in natural extractives, such as wenge, merbau, jatoba, afzelia, iroko, ipe and olive. We also recommend Blanke Was for walnut and American walnut floors. It is thinner than Hardwax-Olie and is therefore absorbed more easily by hardwood, which tends to absorb products less readily.

Question 2

What kind of look does the Osmo Blanke Was treatment create?

Accepted Answer

We call this a wet-look effect. The product emphasizes the wood's color. After treatment, it darkens, giving the wood a wet-looking appearance. You can test this yourself with a little water.

Question 3

How should I prepare the wood?

Accepted Answer

Before applying the Blanke Was, it's important that the wood is bare-sanded or untreated. Remove all dust with a dry cloth. To bare-sand the wood, you need to sand the floor with three different grit sizes: first with 40 grit, then with 80 grit, and finish with 120 grit. If you're only renovating, sanding with 120 grit is sufficient. Apply a maximum of one coat to the wood.

Question 4

Can I apply more than two coats?

Accepted Answer

No, if you apply a third coat, there's a good chance it won't adhere.

Question 5

How should I apply the Blanke Was?

Accepted Answer

You can use the Osmo Roller or an Osmo brush. A brush is useful for the corners and edges of the surface. The roller is useful for larger areas. Apply the product thinly to the wood and roll it out well to prevent streaks. Read the instructions for the exact application steps. Note: It is very important to always perform a test to ensure the desired result is achieved and that the product adheres properly.

Question 6

How much Blanke Was should I use?

Accepted Answer

The product has a coverage of 24m² per liter. You can calculate how much Blanke Was you need with the handy consumption meter.

Question 7

In which direction of the wood do I apply the product?

Accepted Answer

Apply the Osmo along the length of the plank, following the grain of the wood. Apply it thinly and roll it out thoroughly.

Question 8

What is the drying time for the Blanke Was?

Accepted Answer

8 to 12 hours, at approximately 20°C and 50% relative humidity. At lower temperatures or higher humidity, drying takes longer. The product must dry naturally. Therefore, ensure good ventilation at all times, so make sure to open windows and doors after treatment.

Question 9

On which surfaces can the Blanke Was be applied?

Accepted Answer

Blanke Was is for interior use and can be applied to floors, stairs, furniture, walls and ceilings, and to interior doors made of tropical hardwood. For countertops, worktops and kitchen fronts we recommend Osmo TopOil.

Question 10

How do I maintain a treated floor?

Accepted Answer

A surface treated with Blanke Was also requires maintenance. It can be cleaned with Osmo Wisch-Fix, which contains a small amount of wax, which also prevents the floor from drying out. Vloeibare Onderhoudswas can be used on worn areas in high-traffic areas. With these products, you can enjoy your treated wood for longer.

Question 11

Can the Blanke Was be applied over another brand?

Accepted Answer

If it's an oil-based product, this is usually possible. A maximum of one coat can be applied; a second coat may cause dislodgement. This should always be tested first. If the surface is already treated with a lacquer or wax, it should be sanded bare before applying the Blanke Was.

Question 12

Why should I test the product?

Accepted Answer

Each wood type and surface absorbs Osmo differently, and a test gives you a clear idea of ​​how the wood will react to the product. You'll also immediately see whether the product delivers the desired results. Test packs are available for all basic treatments.

Question 13

How do I perform a test?

Accepted Answer

After applying the product and allowing it to dry for the specified time, you can check whether the Osmo has adhered properly. You can check this by first dropping a few drops of water onto the surface. If these drops are still there after a few hours, then it is well protected. The second test is performed with your fingernail. Scratch the surface firmly with your fingernail. If no Osmo comes loose from the surface, the product has adhered properly.

Question 14

Why do cloths saturated with Osmo need to be rinsed?

Accepted Answer

Cloths used for applying or polishing Osmo must be rinsed with water because they pose a risk of spontaneous combustion. Therefore, always rinse cloths with water before disposing of them in the trash.

Question 15

I want to renovate my wood, which product is suitable?

Accepted Answer

If you want to apply a new coat to the wood and it has already been treated, you have two options. Clean with Osmo Intensiefreiniger and then treat with Osmo Onderhoudsolie. Sand with 120 grit. Then apply a new thin coat with a microfiber roller or brush/floor brush. Both options should always be tested first in an inconspicuous area.

Question 16

Can I also touch up spots?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for localized scratches or worn areas, you can tape off the affected plank and sand it with 120 grit. Then check if the plank is even. If so, you can apply a new coat of Osmo Blanke Was. If the plank needs a coarser sanding, you can do so first with 40 grit, then 80 grit, and finish with 120 grit. Then you can apply two thin coats of Osmo Blanke Was.

Question 17

Can I correct mistakes during application?

Accepted Answer

Mistakes that occur during application can be touched up on the wet surface up to 30 minutes after application. This includes roller marks or brush bristles. Once the surface has dried, mistakes can also be repaired locally. Tape off the affected plank and sand it with 120 grit. Then apply a new thin coat of Osmo Blanke Was along the grain of the wood.

Question 18

How do I clean brushes and rollers?

Accepted Answer

You can do this with Osmo Kwastenreiniger. Place the Kwastenreiniger in a small container or cup. Let the brushes soak for a few hours and then rinse the tools with water. Dry the tools and store them in a dry place. Cleaning brushes and other application tools with turpentine is also an option. Place the turpentine in a small container and let the brushes soak for a few hours. Then rinse the brushes and dry them with a clean cloth.

Question 19

When can floors treated with Osmo Blanke Was be accessed again, and when can I put my furniture back in the room?

Accepted Answer

Newly treated surfaces can be accessed after the Blanke Was has dried for approximately 24 hours. Furniture with legs that allow air to circulate underneath can also be put back after approximately 24 hours. Items that do not allow air to circulate underneath, such as rugs, should not be placed on the floor for two weeks until the Blanke Was has fully cured.
