text: Country Shades is also available in any colour of your choice. Starting from samples of 0.125 litres per colour tone, mix to any colour from any RAL, NCS and BS colour charts, and many more.
  Many wood species contain water-soluble coloured extractives which may leach out naturally when weathered.
  Using power washers will severely decrease the coverage of the finish and general or multi-purpose cleaners will increase the frequency of maintenance and recoating.
  Wood surface must be clean, dry and frost-free (moisture content max. 20%). Osmo Country Shades is ready to use. Do not thin. Stir well before use.
  If possible, please apply the first coat to all sides before installation.
  Clean old microporous stains thoroughly. Old paints and lacquers must be completely removed. As a general rule, wear a dust mask during sanding works. The finished surface and product coverage is influenced by several factors, including the condition of the wood. Therefore, a trial application is always required, especially for unfamiliar surfaces.
  If additional protection against blue stain, rot and insects is desired, pre-treat the wood if possible on all sides with Osmo WR Base Coat.
