Preparation

Ensure the floor is acclimatized to its end-use environment, well sanded, dry, and free from sanding dust, oil, wax and other contamination.
Allow lacquer and hardener to reach room temperature, insert filter and shake the container thoroughly before use. Optimal conditions for use are between 18-25°C and 30-60% relative air humidity. High temperatures and low humidity shorten, low temperatures and high humidity lengthen drying time. The minimum temperature for use is 13°C.

 

Application

1) Shake the lacquer can and add the hardener component. Instantly shake the mixture carefully for 1 minute. Use the mixture directly or at least within 3 hours. If mixing smaller quantities of lacquer, then one section on the hardener bottle corresponds to 1 litre of lacquer.

2) Apply using a Bona Roller at 8 -10m2/litre (120-100g/m2). Roll alternately across and with the grain of the wood avoiding accumulations of product. Always maintain a “wet edge” to avoid overlaps.

3) Allow to dry properly before applying further layers. Ensure proper ventilation.

4) If necessary, make an intermediate sanding using the Bona Scrad System grit P150 (or finer) and remove dust before applying a final layer of lacquer. Note: If the previous layer of lacquer/primer has been allowed more than 24 hours drying time then an intermediate sanding is always required.

Cleaning

Cleaning: Wipe tools free from excess lacquer before cleaning with water. Dried material can be removed with acetone

 

Maintenance / Aftercare

Clean the floor with Bona Cleaner or Bona Wood Floor Cleaner and a microfibre pad.(These can be purchased together with a Bona spray mop). For maintenance and upkeep of the surface, floors can be overcoated at intervals with additional coats of varnish. The frequency of this operation can be greatly reduced if Bona Freshen Up or Bona Wood Floor Refresher is applied periodically. This will restore the appearance of a dull floor whilst still allowing further coats of lacquer to be applied without the need for sanding the floor back to bare timber
