1. Add 8% SuperSport HD Hardener to the lacquer and immediately shake the mixture thoroughly, for 1 minute. The mixture of lacquer/hardener should be used directly or at least within 3 hours.
2. Apply the lacquer using a Bona Applicator Bar or a Bona Roller. Roll with a smooth flowing action avoiding accumulations of lacquer. Always maintain a “wet edge” to avoid overlaps.
3. Allow to dry properly before applying further layers of lacquer or paint. Anticipate slightly longer drying time for each layer that is applied. Always ensure good ventilation during the drying process. If necessary, make an intermediate sanding using Bona Abrasives grit P150 (or finer) and remove dust before applying a final layer of lacquer. Note: If the previous layer of lacquer has been allowed more than 24 hours drying time then an intermediate sanding is always required. For paint, the limit is 12 hours.
The curing process takes approximately 3 days, (90% cured in 24 hours, 100% after 72 hours). Do not cover the surface until the floor has fully cured. The floor may be played on after 24 hours but remains susceptible to scuffing or marring until completely cured. During the first week, no wet cleaning, only dry dust.
