Thanks in advance

I use osmo polyox oil in black. I paint the wood with 3 coats of Sandex smooth black masonry paint then a coat od the polyox, leave to dry then buff. It gives a hard wearing finish.

I must try these Osmo wax finishes soon as well!

I like the osmo wax varnishes, they are spirit based and you can mix then

I use osmo polyox oil a brushable wax .

Thanks for the Osmo Polyx recommendation. Worked a treat on the banister.

Feels just like wax. I will definitely use it on frames in the future. Slightly different shade to neutral wax but very effective and much quicker.

Thanks David,
