Finishing

THE BONA MEGA

FINISH SYSTEM:

Apply a Bona sealer or Bona stain and 2 coats of Bona

Mega. Follow label directions. Adding a third coat of Bona Mega is recommended in heavy

traffic

commercial and residential areas. Visit www.bona.com for additional product

information.

RECOMMENDED APPLICATORS:

Bona

Floor Coater (T

bar), Bona

Roller, Bona

Cut

In Pad.

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

TER. Insert supplied filter.

FINISHING: 1.

Pour a 4” wide line of finish along the starting wall. Go with the grain of the wood.

Using a pre

dampened T

bar sleeve, draw the applicator forward with the grain of the wood,

moving the finish toward the opp

osite wall. To maintain a wet edge at all times, hold the applicator

at a snowplow angle.

At the end of each run, turn the applicator towards you and pad out the

applicator parallel to the wet edge.

Feather out all turns. Do not push too hard or too

fast to

avoid drips flying off the applicator.

BE SURE YOU ARE USING THE RECOMMENDED

COVERAGE OF 500

600 SQ. FT. PER GALLON. DO NOT SPREAD TOO THIN.

Allow the first

coat to dry 2

3 hours. High humidity and/or low temperature conditions will extend th

e dry time

(recommended conditions of 65

80° F (18°C

27° C) 40

60% relative humidity).

For smoothest

results, abrade with a Bona

Conditioning Pad before applying final coat. Always vacuum and tack

thoroughly with a slightly water dampened Bona Microfib

er Mop or cloth after abrading. Allow final

coat to dry at least

hours before use.

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 applie

d. 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:

Be sure floor is free from wax, polish and oily residues. Follow the Bona Prep

system, applying 1-

2 coats of Bona Mega. If Recoating a Factory Prefinished Floor, DO NOT USE

Bona Mega finish. Use Bona Naturale

or Bona Traffic

finishes with the Bona Prep

system.

Delamination can occur if the Bona Prep process is not followed; always test for compatibility.

CURING: The curing process takes approximately 7 days, (70% cured after 1 day, 90% after 3

days). Do not replace area r

ugs 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.

CLEAN

UP:

Application tools should be cleaned with water and stored in an airtight container.

FLOOR CARE:

Put walk

off mats at all entrance doorways to minimize dirt and grit. Sweep or

vacuum daily and damp

wipe as needed with Bona

Hardwood Floor Cleaner. Use felt pads under

furniture legs and appliances.

STORAGE:

Nonflammable

Bona Mega should be stored in a climate controlled environment.

KEEP FROM FREEZING. Do not store above 100°

F. (38° C)
