Had to choose between Osmo Smart Oil and Clean Armor UV Resin. Products seemed to give similar finish with quick UV cure. Chose Osmo as Clean Armor almost twice the cost.
KJP contacted to ship to BC as dealer in Kelowna does not carry and dealer in Calgary was out of the 750 ml. KJP shipping was very fair and relatively quick. Very easy to deal with.
Tested the product on a small kitchen table. 80% of the time was prepping with 20% being finishing. 3 coats in one evening was no problem ending with a hard satin/semi gloss finish. UV curing light had been purchased on Aliexpress for $120. They call it a 600 watt but think output is 60 watt and had no problems curing the oil taking my time passing light 4 - 6 inches over surface. Have worked with regular Osmo before and application is much the same with the oil. I do not
find easy as it is relatively thick and requires a bit of effort to get an even 'thin" coat as recommended particularly the first coat as the applicator 'drags& until after the oil is aborbed into the grain. Subsequent costs are easier but still require some effort.
Overall pleased with the result. One concern with Osmo is the shelf life which is reported to be 6 months once opened. I am getting ready to do a larger for table top which should use up the can so shelf life shouldn't be a worry.
