My Favorite Wood Finish - All Natural, Quick and Easy.

ok I am asking for advise, I have a wood kitchen table, I don't feel like it has a thick plastic type feel to the finish, I don't know, but anyway, I was doing some crafts on the table, stupid, didn't cover the table well and got a couple drips of resin on the table, didn't notice and then they dried hard, so I tried to get them off with Krud Kutter. well that got the resin drops off the table and now I have a small circle area that looks like I took the finish off the table? that part is still the same color, but it doesn't have the shiny finish and when the sun shines on it you can really see the area, so... what can I put on there to make the area that I think I must have stripped the shiny finish off. will this stuff from this video work and do I have to worry about matching the actual color? should I use that Krud Kutter stuff all over the whole table to make it all look the same before putting something on it. The are of damage is about 8 inches in a circle. I know nothing about all this stuff, I put some oil cleaner on it and it looks good until after it dries and then it looks the same. thanks for the advise

Can I apply it to a painted piece of ash plywood? It's a beer pong table, that's why the plywood..

what wood did you use in the test?

for the pads.... What are some brands ? do they come in different "roughnesses"?

Well done video! Entertaining and informative, thanks :)

Nice! Have you ever heard of bio supra? What are your thoughts on it ?

Would this work over Danish oil? Or would it only work on bare wood?

Is this a good product for beech butcher block kitchen counters? I would to keep the light color of the wood. The most popular product for my application is said to yellow or amber. Have you work with the tinted Osmo products?

Just finished my first project using Osmo Polyx (large walnut "river" table). I previously was a huge Arm-R-Seal fan, and although it produces a nice finish, Osmo is much easier to apply and I like the natural feel it leaves on the wood. Can you share your suggested care instructions for cleaning up basic spills? Is it as simple as wiping down with a damp cloth?

How many coats do you recommend for Birch ply? And can I apply this over paint?

Great video. I’m working on finishing a lovely Birch burl end table, however the small cracks have already been filled with epoxy/resin. 98% of the surface is bare. Would you know how this product will interact with the epoxy/resin sections? Thanks in advance.

the tape marking trip was worth hitting subscribe ! looking forward to the rest of your vids.

I've never tried Osmo, but now I'm going to have to. I've heard Spagnuolo talk about it for quite some time, but never saw a review like yours. Thanks much~!

I’m sold I will buy some of that finish I generally use boiled linseed but I’m all about trying new shit

Can it be applied on top of stain? Making a pine kitchen table.

The portal gun at the end 😆

Hi, I am a qualified French Polisher and have just been introduced to Osmo Polyx Wax and asked to try it on behalf of a new distributor. I have been studying the brochure and doing some research to be able to decide which of their products I would most like to use, They will sponsor me a free tin. After watching this video I have decided on 3043 Clear Satin. After watching how easy it is to work with, I am quite excited. Let's face it, shellac is difficult to work with, especially fadding up. I am also impressed with your jig to align sanding discs, and with your blessing would like to make one for myself. Very informative, thanks.

how about MDF? I'm planning to build a complete kitchen using black MDF por drawers and doors, and I quite sure to use OSMO

WORTH IT FOR THE MASKING TAPE TRICK ! ! !

I have a walnot countertop island in my kitchen. I have not heard anyone say I have to use the Osmo wood Wax first. Can I ask why that is needed? Another channel said they love Osmo but they use Wood River Tung Oil first as the first coat and then use Osmo. Does the Tung Oil act kinda like the Osmo Wood Wax serving the same purpose?

G’day mate, I’m going to order some of this from a small business in Queensland as it looks like good stuff, cheers from DownUnder 🍻👍

I've been using it for about 6 months now & I agree, its the best!!!!!

I have been using Osmo Polyx oil for a few months now and I struggle to achieve a flat, even sheen finish. I use the semi matt mix and apply it using a synthetic brush ensuring I use it sparingly. I have found the first coat to be very patchy and rough to feel. I was using it on birch plywood and prepared the plywood by sanding with 240grit as recommended on the tin and cleaned each surface with a lint free cloth before applying the oil. Because I have applied it sparingly ensuring an even coverage I have never wiped down the panels for excess.

What do you recommend to prevent this from happening and do you have any tips or things not to do when applying the oil from your experience? Maybe a comparison between applying with the different appliacators would make for an interesting video!

Thanks

i really cant tell the diffrence... the only finish im using is osmo. i never tried anything else. watching this video,, im thinking about trying something else just because i didnt see any diffrence between the osmo and the shellac. maybe rubio monocoat will be way better? i dont know. all i know is, i want the best finish for my clients. great video.

Ah, the fact that I finished with 600 grit explains why mine was awful. Will sand down to 160.

Can I put Osmo Polyx Oil on top of boiled linseed oil or Danish Oil?

This work on cherry?

At 120 euros a pot on eBay from the UK, that's a lot !

I’m sold 👏🏻 thanks for the vid well done!

hi..I got to use osmowax after watching your video.Thank you for being an inspiration to me.

Thank you! Aside from the message of this video, the production quality was outstanding. The script, your voice, the camera angles, the demonstrations, everything was so professional. I’m subscribing...

I like Osmo too, and I can see why you love it. As you say it's impossible to screw up. I don't want to be unkind but we can't say the same about poly looking at your sample. You must have the same technique applying it as attaching the sandpaper to the sander.

I want to clarify some points, because they can confuse people with no experience.

- If you apply a good poly very diluted wiping it off immediately, you'll achieve a more similar look and feel, and the comparison will be fairer. My results have nothing to do with yours.
Also a matt or satin finish, or polishing it with a fine abrasive pad could help.

- The sound of the shellac... you can again polish it in a way you'll achieve a very smooth surface.
And you can repair certain spots with shellac or apply new coats without removing it and it will blend. That's one of the well known advantages in restoration in general, and luthiery in particular.

Applying something in a very different and careless way and expecting it's comparable to a wipe on / wipe off finish is not realistic. Maybe you have to do more work and experimentation but you can achieve great results with any finish. And then of course you'll see the difference due to the formulation of each one and you'll have your preferences. But it's more about your work and not all about the finish itself.

Marking gauge tape cutting, that's genius! Sorry, you were saying something about Osmo?

Interesting idea to talk over the pieces we're trying to hear..

So for the walnut, just one coat of the thin clear then one coat of polyx?

That random orbital sander disc installation jig blew my mind.

Thanks for this video, looking forward to try it

Great video. Well made! Hats off to you.

Thanks a lot! You should be sponserd by Osmo, because they do everything in german! I used Osmo "lasur" and I liked it very much, but your video is fundamental for me now chosing this option for my pine tree floor!

Not sure if this is still a viable channel but I do have questions. What type of pads are used in the video? I have been looking at trying Osmo but it’s cost has me apprehensive about trying to use it

In somebody’s test video in the comment section an Osmo representative commented that you need to brush 2 coats then light sanding and 2-3 coats Osmo wiped on makes the maximum prevention against liquids and wear.

FOUR COATS OF SHELLAC?? ANNND PASTE WAX?! TOTALLY UNFAIR ON THE COMPARISONS! FOUR COATS OF SHELLAC IS OVERKILL..

Hello, what kind of a sealer would you recommend to put on benches inside Sauna, cedar wood?

I don't at all see the value in saying you won't provide an opinion but that it is embedded in the comments. Really man?

I am very doubtful that it could match shellac which can be polished out. I am sure it is great for a good looking finish but in fine furniture making shellac can produce an ultra polished finish.

Love this video! Is this a finish you’d recommend for a desk? I noticed the have glossy, satin and Matt. But I don’t know which one to go for. Probably not glossy as that’s too much of a sheen.

How do you thin the Osmo?
