RECOMMENDED APPLICATORS: Light weight T - bar with the Bona Floor Coater Sleeve.
NOTE: Use a clean applicator for sealer and a separate clean applicator for finish.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS: SHAKE OR STI R WELL BEFORE USING.
F INISHING: 1. Pour a 4” wide line of finish along the starting wall. 2. Using a clean, pre - dampened
applicator; draw the applicator forward, with the grain of the wood, moving the finish toward the
opposite wall. Go with the grain of the wood. 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. Missed areas can be touched up if seen
right away. 6. To prevent lapping and dry marks, be sure you are using the recommended
coverage of 500 - 600 sq. ft. per gallon. Be careful not to spread the finish too thin. 7. Allow your first
coat to dry 2 - 3 hours. High humidity and/or low temperature conditions will e xtend the drying time
while increased ventilation and airflow will reduce dry time (recommended conditions of 65 - 80º F
(18 - 27º C), 40 - 60% relative humidity). Allow final coat to dry at least 48 hours before use.
INTERCOAT ABRASION FOR FLOORS WITH GAMEL INES: See sealer instructions for proper
sequence of sealer, gamelines and finish coats. Before applying gamelines, abrade with Bona
Conditioning Pads or used 150 grit screens and vacuum and tack thoroughly. Note: If paint will not
be applied for 24 hours or longer, floor must be re - abraded to ensue proper adhesion. Apply
gamelines using Bona Courtlines sport floor paint. IF USING ANOTHER MANUFACTURER’S
PAINT, BEFORE APPLYING GAMELINES, ALWAYS PREPARE A SAMPLE OR TEST AREA TO
DETERMINE COMPATABILITY AND ADH ESION.
INTERCOAT ABRASION FOR FLOORS WITHOUT GAMELINES: 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: Be sure floor is free from wax, polish, and oily residues. Follow the Bona Prep®
system, applying 1- 2 coats of Bona Sportive 1K finish. Delamination can occur if the Bona Prep
process is not followed; always test for compatibility.
CURING: The curing process takes ap proximately 7 days, (70% 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. Use only a dry Bona
M icrofiber Mop or cloth for cleaning during the first week.
CLEAN - UP: Application tools should be cleaned with water and stored in an airtight container.
MAINTENANCE: Put walk - off mats at all entrance doo rways to keep out excessive dirt and grit.
See Bona ® Professional Series Sport and Commercial Cleaner Concentrate instructions for
cleaning and maintenance information.
STORAGE: Nonflam m able – Bona Sportive 1K should be stored in a climate - controlled
envir onment. KEEP FROM FREEZING. Do not store above 100º F.
