NOTE: Use a clean applicator for sealer and a separate clean applicator for finish.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS: SHAKE WELL BEFORE USING. DO NOT THIN. DO NOT ADD WATER. 1.
Shake Bona Traffic finish (Part A) well for 30 seconds. 2. Add Bona Traffic Hardener (Part B) to finish
(Part A). One 12.8 oz. bottle of hardener will activate on e gallon of finish. To mix finish amounts of less
than one gallon, use a 1:10 ratio. 3. Immediately shake mixture vigorously for 30 - 45 seconds. 4. Insert
supplied filter into bottle only after adding hardener. 5. Let sit for 5 - 10 minutes before applying. B ONA
TRAFFIC CANNOT BE REHARDENED.
FINISHING: 1. Pour a 6” wide line of finish along the starting wall. Go with the grain of the wood.
2. Using a pre - dampened T - bar sleeve, draw the applicator forward with the grain of the wood,
moving the finish toward th e opposite wall. To maintain a wet edge at all times, hold the applicator
at a snowplow angle. 3. At the end of each run, turn the applicator towards you and pad out the
applicator parallel to the wet edge. 4. Feather out all turns. Do not push too hard or too fast to avoid drips
flying off the applicator. 5. BE SURE YOU ARE USING THE RECOMMENDED COVERAGE OF 350 - 400
SQ. FT. PER GALLON. DO NOT SPREAD TOO THIN. 6. Allow the first coat to dry 2 - 3 hours. High
humidity and/or low temperature conditions will exte nd the dry time (recommended conditions of 65 - 80° F
(18°C - 27°C) 40 - 60% relative humidity). 7. For smoothest results, abrade with a Bona
®
Conditioning Pad
before applying final coat. Always vacuum and tack thoroughly with a slightly water dampened Bona
Micr ofiber Mop or cloth after abrading. Allow final coat to dry at least 24 hours before use.
CAUTION! Do not recap finish/hardener mixture after 4 hours to avoid pressure build - up. Dispose of any
remaining product in accordance with local, state and federal regulations. Decontaminate empty hardener
(Part B) bottle prior to disposal by adding water to the one - quart line. Recap. Shake vigorously. Dispose
of.
POT LIFE: THE FINISH/HARDENER MIXTURE MUST BE USED WITHIN 4 HOURS AFTER IT IS
MIXED. Product propertie s are diminished after 4 hours. The finish and hardener can be mixed only one
time.
INTERCOAT ABRASION: It is not necessary to abrade between Bona waterborne sealer and finish coats
unless more than 48 hours has passed since the previous coat was applied. For smoothest results,
abrade between all coats as necessary. When using solvent - based sealers, ALWAYS abrade before
finish coats. Always vacuum and tack thoroughly with a slightly water - dampened Bona Microfiber Mop or
cloth after abrading.
RECOATING:
B ONA RECOAT SYSTEM : Guaranteed recoat system designed to safely remove all contaminants and
prepare the floor surface for optimal adhesion of Bona Traffic
®
. See Bona Recoat System for application
directions.
WHEN USING BONA PREP SYSTEM: Be sure floor is fr ee from wax, polish and oily residues. Follow the
Bona Prep

process is not followed; always test for compatibility. NOTE: Bona Traffic
®
will adhere to most stains and
finishes after proper preparation and dry times. Stain sealer and finish results may vary widely depending
on the wood species, especially on oily and resinous exotics. ALWAYS PREPARE A SAMPLE OR TEST
AREA TO DETERMINE COMPATABILITY, APPEARANCE AND DES IRED RESULTS.
CURING: The curing process takes approximately 7 days, (75% cured after 1 day, 90% after 3 days). Do
not replace area rugs until the floor has fully cured. The floor may be walked on after 24 hours, but
remains susceptible to scuffing or marring until completely cured. Furniture may be placed onto floor after
72 hours (90% cured). Do not drag or slide furniture. Use only a dry Bona Microfiber Mop or cloth for
cleaning during the first week.
