COMPATIBILITY: 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 COMPATIBILITY, APPEARANCE AND DESIRED RESULTS.

SANDING AND PREPARATION OF NEW FLOORS: 1. Sand and prepare floor using accepted industry association methods. 2. For a stained floor, make your final cut with 80-100 grit paper and screen to 80-100 grit. For an unstained floor, make your final cut with 80-100 grit paper and disc/screen to 120-150 grit. This burnishing will reduce the amount of grain raise. 3. Use a Tampico Brush on a buffer and vacuum thoroughly. 4. Tack with a dry Bona Microfiber Mop or cloth to remove dust. 5. Apply finish system.

THE BONA AMBER SYSTEM: Apply 1-2 coats of Bona AmberSeal and 2 coats of a Bona waterborne finish. Bona AmberSeal is not needed when using a Bona stain with a Bona waterborne finish. ƒ minimizes side-bonding and grain raise, provides a build layer and prevents the finish from penetrating into the wood surface.

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 WATER. Insert supplied filter.

SEALING: 1. Pour a 4” wide line of sealer 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 sealer toward the 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 400-500 SQ. FT. PER GALLON. Uneven coverage can cause blotchiness, or color variance. Certain species may require a second coat to achieve desired appearance. 6. Allow each coat to dry 2-3 hours. High humidity and/or low temperature conditions will extend the dry time (recommended conditions of 65-80° F (18°C-27°C) 40-60% relative humidity). 7. For smoothest results, abrade before applying finish coats. Always vacuum and tack thoroughly with a slightly water dampened Bona Microfiber Mop or cloth after abrading.

INTERCOAT ABRASION: It is not necessary to abrade AmberSeal unless more than 48 hours has passed since the previous coat was applied. However, for smoothest results, abrade Bona AmberSeal with a Bona Conditioning Pad and 1-2 Delta sheets as needed or a 150 grit or finer screen. Always vacuum and tack thoroughly with a slightly water-dampened Bona Microfiber Mop or cloth after abrading.

CLEAN-UP: Application tools should be cleaned with water and stored in an airtight container.

STORAGE: Nonflammable - Bona AmberSeal should be stored in a climate-controlled environment. KEEP FROM FREEZING. Do not store above 100° F (38° C).
