Aidan Green from Osmo UK walks through the key decisions that actually matter when choosing a product, from oil-based versus water-based to floors, furniture and exterior surfaces, and introduces the free Osmo Recommends app, which takes the guesswork out of the whole process.

They're also joined by Ben Sturgis from Graphenstone, who brings a perspective from outside the Osmo world on where the coatings industry is heading, what the shift to lower VOC products really means in practice, and how to tell genuine environmental credentials from greenwashing.

Jennie and Sparky are joined by Craig Pawson, Managing Director of Osmo UK, to dig into the thinking behind Osmo's oil-wax approach and why it works so differently to conventional paints and varnishes. They cover the most common frustrations with standard wood finishes, what breathability actually means in practice, what VOCs are and why they matter (especially indoors), and the honest case for why a more expensive tin can end up costing you less.

Plus, we're are giving away a free Starter Kit to listeners so you can try it for yourself before committing to anything - osmouk.com/podcast. (Terms and conditions apply)
