Just applied first coat of polyx what is best way to store brush between now and tomorrow's 2nd coat. I have put in cling film.
Did not think white spirit would be good idea.

Hi Jim,
Yes cling film / an air tight package should be sufficient for storing the brush until tomorrow. For cleaning as mentioned above a specialist brush cleaner / thinner will be required.
Hope this helps.

I just bought a new brush. So I use it for the first coat then put it in a plastic bag without cleaning it and then it will be ok to use the next day and repeat until I'm done with say 3 coats? How many coats for a cutting board?

Hi Larry,
As long as the brush is airtight, this is normally not an issue for this time. The best option however would always be to clean the brush out properly to prevent any issues.
As for the amount of coats, this does depend on the specific product applied. We would recommend following the specific manufactures instructions.
Hope this helps.

Have bought Osmo polyx but unable to source any brush cleaner. Can I use an alternative brush cleaner/thinner if not how many days can I keep reusing the brush if stored in an airtight bag/cling wrap

Hi Liz,
The airtight option may help for a shorter period, but the best option would be to properly clean out the brush after each use.
The Osmo brush cleaner can be purchased through our website via the following link: https://www.peakoak.co.uk/wood-care/cleaning-maintenance/osmo-brush-cleaner-thinner/
Hope this helps.

Hi, we’ll be using this product to oil an Ebbe Gehl table. Is it ok to apply with a cloth or would you still recommend brushes?

Hi Fred,
It is possible to apply the oils with a cloth rather than a brush. It is worth noting that you may require additional coats as you tend to not apply as much oil when clothing on the finish.
Hope this helps.
