Finishes and adhesives

OSMO Poly-X oil
Having looked and tried many sealants, stains and varnishes over the years we have firmly come to the conclusion that the OSMO range of oils gives the most satisfying finish. To quote from the tin: "Professional satin floor finish of particular durability and resistance for solid wood floors and laminated floors. It is microporous, water repellant and dirt resistant. Does not crack, peel or blister." It is based on natural vegetable oils and waxes (sunflower oil, soya bean oil, thistle oil, carnauba wax and candelilla). It has a shelf life of five years if kept tightly closed. Tins of 0.75 litres and 2.5 litres.

The brush shown right is used in a roller tray or a normal wide soft paint brush is also effective.

Nail gun hire

A nail gun will make installation almost foolproof. The Porta-nailer shown here enables you to drive in 50mm nails at precisely 45º each and every time through the tongue. Click here to download our instructions. If our Porta-nailer is unavailable, most hire shops will have this or a similar model.
