How long does Osmo oil take to cure?
10-14 days
Polyx®-Oils and all other Osmo products have a curing time of approx. 10-14 days. During this time, we advise to keep floor traffic as low as possible and avoid covering the wood’s surface (e.g. with a rug or mat) which can block the circulation of air and the curing of the finish – potentially causing discolouration.
