Finishing
(Part A). One 10.38 oz. bottle of hardener will activate one gallon of finish. To mix finish amounts of l ess
than one gallon, use a 1:11. 33 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. BONA
TRAFFIC CANNOT BE REHARDENED.
FINISHING: 1. Pour a 6” wide line of finish alo ng the starting wall. Go with the grain of the wood.
2. Using a pre - dampened applicator , draw the applicator forward with the grain of the wood,
moving the finish toward the opposite wall. To maintain a wet edge at all times, hold the applicator
at a snowp low 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 extend the dry time (reco mmended conditions of 65 - 80°
F/ 40 - 60% relative humidity). 7. F or smoothest results, abrade with a Bona
®
Conditioning Pad before
applying final coat. Always vacuum and tack thoroughly with a slightly water dampened Bona Microfiber
Mop or cloth after abrading. Allow final coat to dry at least 48 hours before use.
CAUT ION! 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

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.
