Osmo Wood Protector - anyone help?

[agg221]

I'm trying to make an end grain chopping board as a Christmas present for my wife - all going well (will put pictures up when done).

 

I am using sycamore and will finish with Osmo Top Oil as food safe, however it recommends using Osmo Wood Protector on timber which is prone to blue stain (which sycamore is) - apparently a single coat is required.

 

I don't really want to buy a whole can for the one job, as I don't see myself doing much with paler, bluestain prone timbers (I tend to use oak/sweet chestnut for most things). As such, is there anyone who could send me a small quantity in the post - enough to coat a single 10"x15" chopping board? I will of course reimburse postage.

 

Cheers

I'm pretty sure I've got some here Alec from when we dd the kitchen worktops - how much do you think you'd need and I'll see what's left.

 

We used it as it was meant to be a good base coat for the top oil where it was going to be used in environments like kitchens and bathrooms and it took the top oil really well too.

 

I've used the top oil on one of the offcuts of wortop without the wood protector and the colour seems to be deeper with using it than without - that was on Oak though.

Cheers Chris, by my reckoning I only need around 40ml

I have used Osmo Polyx oil for my ash kitchen worktop. Brilliant finish and hardwearing.

I use Danish oil, cheap easy to apply, food safe.

Hi Alec

I use OSMO wood protector all the time and don't have problems with blue staining

I tend to use the wood protector first then finish with poly x oil

If you want me to send you some I would be more than happy

cheers

Had a look and it's the 4006 clear one that I have here. Struggling to find a little bottle to put some in but got an empty whisky miniature that should do if I wrap it up well.

 

PM me your address if you've not got sorted and I'll get some bottled up and on it's way.

Thanks Chris, that's the one I'm after. I'll drop you a PM (thanks for the offer too Slackbladder). So long as I don't confuse the whisky miniature I should be fine!

Cool, all done, should be on it's way tomorrow all being well.

 

Scary thing is just how similar it looks to the original contents - though smells nothing like it

Many Thanks Chris - I'm sure if I add a bit of ginger I won't know the difference:001_smile:
