Troubleshooting
Product not drying or curing properly
Ensure the wood surface was clean, dry, and free of contaminants. Check that the ambient temperature was at least +10°C during application and drying. Verify that the product was applied solely to raw wood and not over old finishes.
Uneven finish or blotching
Stir the product thoroughly before and during application. Ensure consistent application technique. For difficult woods, a trial application is recommended to assess absorption and finish.
Wood appears discolored after application
This product is non-yellowing. Discoloration might be due to the original wood color or an issue with a previous finish. Always perform a trial application on an inconspicuous area.
Surface feels sticky after drying
This can occur if applied too thickly or if drying conditions were poor. Ensure a thin, even coat and adequate ventilation. If still sticky after a few days, a very light scuff sand might be needed, followed by a reapplication of a thin coat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation is Key: Ensure wood surfaces are clean, dry, and frost-free, with a moisture content not exceeding 18%. For resinous woods like Larch, degrease with Osmo Brush Cleaner and Thinner. Remove old paints and lacquers completely; only apply to raw wood. If necessary, sand raw wood with fine sandpaper before application. During sanding, wear a dust mask.
Application: Osmo Uviwax UV-Protection is ready to use and should not be thinned. Stir well before application. The coating temperature must be at least +10°C.
Compatibility: This product is to be used alone and solely applied to raw wood. It is not compatible with previously painted or lacquered surfaces unless they are completely removed.
Care and Maintenance: Clean old microporous stains thoroughly. Wood treated with Osmo Uviwax UV-Protection generally only needs to be cleaned and recoated. For future applications or spot repairs, no sanding is necessary.
