This 5 mL Osmo sample lets you test the selected color on the actual wood used for your project. Wood species, grain, sanding, preparation and application thickness can change the result, so a real sample is more useful than judging color from a screen alone.

Prepare a small piece or inconspicuous area exactly as the finished project will be prepared. Stir or knead the packet thoroughly so pigments are evenly distributed. Apply a thin coat using the method recommended for the full-size product and allow it to dry completely before judging the color. Add a second sample coat only when the product system allows it and that matches the intended project schedule.

The packet is for color evaluation, not for establishing long-term durability or guaranteed coverage. A small sample may also look different from a large floor or wall because light, surrounding colors and natural wood variation affect the overall appearance.

Sample details

• Package: 5 mL sample packet
• Purpose: Color and appearance testing
• Test on: The actual prepared project wood
• Coverage: Do not promise a fixed area; absorption and the need for a second coat vary

Follow the directions printed on the sample packet. The full-size product is a two-component finish, so do not use full-size mixing directions unless the sample packaging specifically calls for them.
