Hi, using with an oak veneer door. How much of an area do you apply oil by brush before wiping with the cloth. The whole door side or small sections? Thanks
@twelveightyone Hi I have 2 runs in my first coat on oak veneer door, obviously too much oil applied by brush. How can I rectify before next coat please?
Hello Jay, I would recommend lightly sanding the door with P120 sand paper. Products such as Manns Premier Door Oil, Osmo Door Oil (3060) and Fiddes Door Oil have been specially designed for use on veneered internal doors. It gives interior doors a tough, durable, clear, satin finish. Always check the door manufacturer's guidance before treating veneered doors as in some cases, it may invalidate the warranty of the door. Thanks, Jay
Hi, I'm just about to treat 6 brand new unfinished oak veneered doors with Osmo Door Oil 3060 Clear Satin. For the bathroom and kitchen doors I'll look to give those a coat of the Protector first and then a coat of the clear satin, but will this give the protected doors a different look to the other doors which I'm intending to just give 2 coats of Clear Satin and no protector? Thanks in advance.
Hey thanks for the question there shouldn't be any difference in the look but please do a test area before fully applying as all wood reacts differently. Thanks Jay
I have engineered oak doors. For bathrooms, do we apply the wood protector first and then apply the clear satin door oil? After applying the wood protector, how long do we wait before applying the door oil?
Engineered Oak doors are a very grey area as the products you can use to finish them depend heavily on the glues used to hold the veneers on. Some door manufacturers use water-based glues and some door manufacturers use solvent-based glues. If the incorrect product is used, then this can soften the glue and delaminate the veneers. This is why it is important to check the door manufacturers guidelines as to whether a penetrative oil can be used. If the manufacturer states that the Osmo Door Oil can be used, then you will only require 2 thin coats of the door oil. Either (3060) clear satin which will enrich the natural colours in the grain or the (3033) Raw which is designed to keep the Oak lighter. The Wood Protector should not be used.
Thank you for your enquiry. There isn't a Wood Protector that is suitable for use prior to applying the 'Raw' products. If any clear product is applied prior to application of the 'Raw' it will darken the grain. This will in turn cause the white pigment in the 'Raw' to be visible over the top. It looks very dusty. I hope this helps.
The drying time on the Osmo Door oil is 6hrs between the 2 coats and then it will be touch after 6 hrs after the second coat. It is always better to remove the door and the door furniture before application as this will achieve a better final finish but we are aware that this isn't always possible.
@@WoodFinishesDirect My painter only applied 1 coat of the door oil - and that was over a week ago. Is it still worth applying a second coat now and is it necessary? or has the opportunity been missed?
@@mak.ak.uk. Thank you for your enquiry. Yes, it is vital that 2 coats are applied to the doors. At the moment with 1 coat they are not completely sealed against moisture and you wouldn't be able to clean them. Please apply a second coat whenever possible. I hope this helps. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require any further information. Kindest regards - Alison - 01303 213838
What oil would be best for 1930s pine doors? There already very dark after dipping and sanding so would like to maintain the colour they are and cannot decide between a satin finish or a Matt finish Thank you
Hello Rebecca, When choosing a sheen it comes down to personal preference we do test sample sachets of the sheens. Matt will reflect minimal light giving you a flat look and Satin will reflect 50% light almost like an egg shell would. I hope this helped Jay
For Oak Veneer Doors, I want the clear matt. Do I need Raw 3033 or Clear Matt 3058? It says 3033 is a door oil but it does not mention this for 3058. Need help! Thanks :)
Hey Shayan, Clear Matt 3058 is a durable worktop oil that protects and enhances the natural character of wooden worktops. The door oil comes in 3033 Raw and 3060 Satin, may I suggest the Manns Premier Door Oil? A premium grade door oil that enhances and protects solid wood, engineered and veneered interior doors. Dries to a natural matt finish. Any question's please ask and don't forget to subscribe for future content. Jay
@@WoodFinishesDirect Hey, thanks for the rely. May I ask the 'Manns Premier Door Oil' that you suggested any good for OAK vaneer doors, or is this for solid doors only? Price seems to be the same as Raw3033.
Hi. The Osmo door oil is a thinner blend than the Polyx oil and is designed to work with a wider range of woods, as the veneers can be made of various different species of wood. Always check the manufacturers label on the door or with the door manufacturer before applying a door finish to confirm suitability. This product may not be suitable for some types of door.
Thank you for this excellent video. Informative and to the point, exactly what I needed.
This is so good, thank you. I have just ordered all that I need.
Hey Judy, Thank you for your comment we are glad you found the video useful. If there is anything else we can help with just ask.
Thank you,
Jay
Hi, great video. Can you advise how to remove grease/finger print marks from an untreated engineered oak door before I apply Oslo clear?
Hello John, Good question I would recommend a light sand with P120 sand paper and degrease with methylated spirits.
I hope this helps.
Jay
Amazing, nice one (just had 2 oak veneer doors fitted and am going to be doing this soon).
Thanks for the Comment Jay Kay!
You know where we are if you need any product recommendations or advice!

@@nataliehayden8330 I didn’t wipe them, just a very thin coat with a brush.
@twelveightyone Hi I have 2 runs in my first coat on oak veneer door, obviously too much oil applied by brush. How can I rectify before next coat please?
@@nataliehayden8330 give it a very light sanding on the drips. You’re also probably using too much oil on your brush. Use it sparingly.
Where do you get a finishing pad from please
I have to apply oil to 5 interior doors, what volume of wax do you suggest I would need for that size a job? Thanks.
I have the Wickes oak veneer doors. Do I have to send them before applying the oil?

Hi, thanks for the great video. Is there a Osmo product or other long oil that you recommend for exterior doors? Thank you
Hello for exterior doors we would recommend the Osmo UV protection Oil same application process applies.
