Ive just finished my box and put 3 coats of Osmo on it, however the finish feekls slightly rough.
Is this normal or have I done something wrong?

This is what I do with Osmo as a matter of course. I use the matt variety and then after two coats I cut back with a grey Webrax and teak wax which brings it up to a satin finish - RobWoodfinish Man":10uoaera said:I'm afraid you may have to sand all off and start again.

Checked with Osmo UK to make sure this is normal and they say it is. Unfortunately they couldn't give me a reason for the difference, any thoughts?

No I haven't tried that but what I'll do is coat a panel with satin, one with matt and then try to buff the matt up. I'll come back with the results, completely agree a oiled finish that doesn't darken would be of real interest.
All the best
