What's the difference between the regular and the pro Osmo Polyx oil?  The specs say the pro requires less cure time, which would be a plus for me on the project I'm starting, but is it less foolproof/tougher to work with than the regular Osmo?  My application includes both flat surfaces/panels and moulding, done in oak/oak veneer.
 
You can email (info@osmona.com) Osmo NA or call them on 800-515-4168 for more info.  They're on the left coast and 3 hours behind the east side. 
 
I would also do a search here on FOG as I swear some of our Aussie or UK members have commented on both those oils and their pros and cons of each... [unsure]
 
I talked to the Osmo folks today, as per Sparktrician's advice.  Since I'm going to be doing a fair amount of paneling and moulding (rather than flooring), it was recommended that I go with the regular rather than the pro.  Which is fine -- I've used the regular stuff before on some bathroom cabinets and it came out great.

I was told by a flooring manufacturer that osmo pro is for use in osmo machines. E.g. For pre-oiling flooring before its sold to customers. (Which ties in with the shorter dry time)
Osmo is beautiful stuff. Easy to apply, looks good. Makes the grain pop....
