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 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!
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!
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
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 👍👍
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
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 😁
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.👍👍
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
@@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?

Thank you! The bets video and so simple to follow.
Can I use any old cloth or rag, or do I need anything specific? Thanks
Excellent advice thank you.

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.

@@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop Thank you ,I have just ordered the 'Matt ' Finish.Plus some lint free cloth , another great tip ,from your video !! .
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😎😎
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 😀
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
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
