Osmo Polyx

[Nick W]

I've been asked to make some vanity units in a coachhouse conversion. The floors are Am White Oak with Polyx as the finish. The cabinets are to be AWO too. Bearing in mind that the units will inevitably get wet, would Polyx be OK to use as the finish for these? I see that Osmo also do a Top Oil, would this be better? Should I use top oil on the tops and Polyx on the rest?

Any thoughts, including possible alternatives are most welcome.

TIA

I would expect that the polyx should be fine as it's also used on solid wood floors and floors get wet in day to day use

saying that I've not used it and the tin I've got will be opened next week after I've got the reclaimed parquet sanded.

hopefully some one will give you a better reply

Osmo say that Poly-X is suitable for kitchen worktops.

Thanks chaps.

Nick - I used PolyX on my elm chest recently completed. Excellent stuff and very hardwearing as it's a flooring product - Rob

Thin coats rather than thick, otherwise it takes forever to dry.

I've just got their catalogue, looks like I will (should) be using their "Wood Protector" for 'undercoat' with Polyx on top.
