which type of osmo is that? I sanded and treated the whole of the flooring in my flat... tried alot of the shades too. The conclusion was that its very hard to make dark/orange boards lighter with osmo, you kind of need to work with the shade you have. The heavily pigmented ones are a bastard to apply, and show up all the imperfections in the boards/your technique!
We used the wood wax oil - poly x raw (i think). This is clear but with light white pigmenting to lift the shade and ensure it doesn't darken/ reorangify the boards again. I reckon if you want almost pure white then it might work better just to go with a hard wearing floor paint.
have you sanded the floor in prep?
