RogerM I have two more round ones to do, he also has a few smaller square ones which I will finish over the next few months.

Leave for about 20 mins then wipe off any excess.
Leave to dry overnight, gentle rub down with a fine grade of paper.
Keep repeating until you’ve built up a few layers.

Agree again. I use Osmo-PolyX almost exclusively these days and it's a bit 'gloopy' straight out the tin. I usually decant some into a glass jar and then thin it down with around 10% white spirit which then makes it much easier to apply - Rob

However I find it is quite quick to dry and should be applied and laid off progressively across the surface rather than applied all over before finessing. Thin coats are the order of the day and as it dries so quickly 2-3 per long day is feasible.
