COMPATIBILITY: Bona Naturale will adhere to most stains and finishes after proper preparation and dry times. 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 NATURALE FINISH SYSTEM: Apply a Bona sealer or Bona stain and 2 coats of Bona Naturale. Follow label directions. Adding a third coat of Bona Naturale is recommended in heavy-traffic commercial and residential areas. Visit www.bona.com for additional product information.

RECOMMENDED APPLICATORS: 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.

1. Shake Bona Naturale finish (Part A) well for 30 seconds.
2. Add Bona Naturale Hardener (Part B) to finish (Part A). One 12.8 oz. bottle of hardener will activate one gallon of finish. To mix finish amounts of less than one gallon, use a 1:10 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.

FINISHING:

1. Pour a 6" wide line of Bona Naturale across the direction of the flooring, cut-in 12"-18" away from wall.
2. Saturate the roller with finish. Make sure to roll over all areas where cut-in pad was used.
3. Set roller down at back side of puddle and pull the roller towards you. Then push back in the same path feathering past your start point. Do not apply pressure to the roller. Overlap your run by 25%. Rolling too fast will cause drips to fly off the roller.
4. BE SURE YOU ARE USING THE RECOMMENDED COVERAGE OF 350-400 SQ. FT. PER GALLON. DO NOT SPREAD TOO THIN.
5. Allow the first 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).
6. For 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.

CAUTION! 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 (Part B) bottle prior to disposal by adding water to the one-quart line. Recap. Shake vigorously. Dispose of.

POT LIFE: THE FINISH/HARDENER MIXTURE MUST BE USED WITHIN 4 HOURS AFTER IT IS MIXED. Product properties are diminished after 4 hours. The finish and hardener can only be mixed one time.

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

CURING: The curing process takes approximately 7 days (75% 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. 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 Naturale and Hardener should be stored in a climate controlled environment. KEEP FROM FREEZING. Do not store above 100° F (38°C).
