Adsibob Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 We went with a Saicos hard wax oil to finish our staircase. It is similar to OSMO, but we chose Saicos as we knew our flooring was finished by their products and wanted to match as closely as possible. The colour match is perfect (floor manufacturer told us which colour stain to use), but I’m not sure I’m happy with the level of sheen. We had the choice between: Matt Satin Matt Ultra Matt High Gloss We went with Matt, but it looks rather flat, no sheen at all, which I guess is to be expected given it is Matt! I’m thinking satin Matt would have been better. Three coats has apparently been applied by the staircase manufacturer, on top of the ground coat stain. Is it too late to apply a satin Matt coat? Would I have to sand off the other coats first, or would this risk removing the stain from the wood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonner Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Follow the manufacturer’s instructions, light sanding before applying another coat. No need to remove the existing coats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyshouse Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I like wire-wool and apply with green sponge scourer green side down, very thin even coats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
