The list of @Airhead recommended essentials is worth subscribing to.Q: We sandblasted some oak panelling and I want to treat it. Which Osmo (or other) product will give the least colour and most matte finish?

You could just leave it raw. Unless it’s being touched in certain places (door push plates, handles etc) it’ll just stay the same.

Osmo polyx oil Raw. It has a whitening agent in it that counters the oranging. One coat of raw and then one coat of satin/gloss/matt clear and it will be as close to og colour and protected as possible

Well done fixing that with LSX. I'm pretty sure it was me who recommended it but I've never used it for anything other than sealing the threads on compression fittings. There's a bit of kit I carry these days which makes temporary repairs like this very quick and easy, google Rothenberger Kibosh for details.
I've seen u bends assembled with LSX that shouldn't have held water but lasted at least 6 months because of the LSX. I would be looking at getting something more sturdy done early next week though. It is pretty easy to repair with a compression fitting if you cut the pipe and slide the compression fitting over the cut, there are different lengths available. Biggest pain is stopping the water flow for a while and then recommissioning. Alternatively try the Rothenberger thing and you can wait until whenever to get the leak fixed!
