I have an oak front door which has been oiled from new (Danish oil) and has had an annual maintenance coat, by the previous owner. What prep is needed before I recoat it. Thanks for a very helpful video.
Great video - only just got to this one. If I used the clear matt osmo oil on oak veneered doors, would you recommend it also for the oak veneered architrave and skirting? Is is hard-wearing enough? Thanks for sharing!
Great to see the techniques you use. Previously I’ve obviously been applying way too much osmo so not only will this create a better finish the Osmo will go further, a bonus as it ain’t cheap 👍
Yes if found this way with the roller has made it at least twice as quick. I can oil a whole 8ft x 4ft sheet /wardrobe backing in 3 or 4 minutes where as before with just a rag, at least 15 minutes. It definitely saves loads of oil too. I only just worked this way out a few weeks back when I had a large oak veneer wardrobe to oil. So much faster now!
Hi, I have oak internal doors to do, how many coats do you apply, I bought 3060 but it’s too shiny so will be sanding it off, glad I only did one door before seeing your video. Thanks
Hi,I am thinking of getting an oak veneer door from Wickes and was going to use some Danish oil that I have. However on the door it says not to use any kind of oil. What are your thoughts on this please. Best regards Mick.
Hi I cant think of why the instructions would say not to use oil. Virtually every door I had made whether solid timber or veneer has been oiled and never any problems. Very strange! Cheers Ryan
Just about to fit our internal Oak vaneer doors, was going to use the polyox oil until I noticed osmo door a door oil, can't find many reviews on the osmo door, but polyox seems a great product, which would you recommend for these doors, thanks
Love this video, just had 2 internal doors by an absolute master craftsman so I am keen to make sure my finishing is A+ and I’m sure your tips will help! One question, if you had to choose would you pick cloth or brush?
Thanks! Well if your using oil then I'd pick a cloth and make sure you buffer off properly. A brush is handy for corners and mouldings but cloth will give you a perfect finish and you can't go wrong 👍👍
Hi probably using the foam roller for the large surfaces then buffer off after with a cloth. And the detailed bits id use a small brush and buffer of withba cloth.👍👍
Great video and great tips . Would you use the Osmo 3060. or Osmo 3062. . I have just have some news doors fitted from Howdens . I love the look of them ,(' shaker style '..) as they are now , but I know I have to protected them . 3060 = Matt AND 3062 CLEAR. ( looking for some advice) ..cheers
Thank you! I'd personally go for the matt finish. I really dont think there will be a visable difference between the 2 to be honest especially on an oak finish door. Make sure you seal all edges too and the under the door too 😁
@@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop On the Canadian Osmo website, it says: "By hand with a rag, 4-6 thin coats". US website says 3 coats, and UK website says 3-4 coats 😓! With only one coat, do you feel you have to recoat once in a while?
life saver. customer just asked me to wax a load of interior doors but i think osmo oil is the way to go. is old pine doors, wax will look rubbish compared to osmo

Can I use any old cloth or rag, or do I need anything specific? Thanks
where do you buy your lint free cloths?

I have 3 internal oak doors to do, what size tin would you think I'll need as it's not cheap stuff is it?
It goes a long way, the smallest size 375 should do it

Some oils can lift the veneers off the door, hence why it recommends not too.

Excellent advice thank you.
Brilliant, thank you, some good tips, great video.
You're welcome 👍
How would you apply the Osmo wood wax as I have bought it in light grey to apply to some oak veneer doors. Thanks in advance👍👍
Hi probably using the foam roller for the large surfaces then buffer off after with a cloth.
And the detailed bits id use a small brush and buffer of withba cloth.👍👍
The London Craftsman thanks very much😎😎

@@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop Thank you ,I have just ordered the 'Matt ' Finish.Plus some lint free cloth , another great tip ,from your video !! .
How much oil would I need for 7 x oak veneer doors?
Great vids
Thanks, I wouldn't risk the smallest size, I'd go 750ml and that would easily do.the job 😀
cheers great informative vid
No problemo 👍
How many coats would you recommend?
Hi 1 is all it needs. Osmo states that too, unless you are using a tinted version then possibly 2 for different darkness of tones

Is this a pine door?
It's an oak veneer mdf door
