Bona Amber is a professional-grade, one-component waterborne polyurethane primer designed for homeowners and contractors looking to achieve the rich, warm, traditional aesthetic of oil-based finishes on timber floors without the associated fumes or long dry times. It is particularly effective for enhancing oak, darker woods, and tropical species, offering excellent stability for floors with underfloor heating or prone to side-bonding. While it mimics the look of solvent-based products, users should note that final color results are highly dependent on the specific wood species and application technique, necessitating a test patch before full-room application.

No, this primer is specifically formulated for raw, untreated timber. Ensure the floor is sanded back to the bare wood before application.
While it can be used, keep in mind that the primer is designed to impart an amber tone. Test on a small area to ensure you like the color change before applying it to the entire surface.
Wait at least 1-2 hours for the primer to dry, but it is best to avoid foot traffic until the final topcoat has been applied and fully cured.
Yes, Bona Amber is a primer and must be sealed with a suitable Bona waterborne topcoat to ensure the floor is protected from wear, moisture, and chemicals.
Typically, one coat is sufficient to achieve the desired amber coloration. Refer to your chosen topcoat's instructions for the complete floor system requirements.
This often results from uneven application or failing to maintain a wet edge. Ensure consistent application pressure and avoid stopping in the middle of a board.
Ensure you are working in controlled temperatures. Avoid direct sunlight or heavy air drafts during application, as these can accelerate drying and prevent proper leveling.
This typically occurs when the primer has partially dried before the next section is applied. Work in smaller sections and keep a consistent wet edge at all times.
Before beginning, ensure the floor is properly sanded and free of dust, oil, or debris. Shake the Bona Amber container well before use. Apply the primer using a professional-grade roller or applicator, working consistently to maintain a wet edge. Avoid over-applying, as this can affect drying times and color consistency. Bona Amber is compatible with most Bona waterborne topcoats, but always ensure the primer is fully dry (1-2 hours) before applying subsequent coats. Store in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed after every use to prevent the product from thickening or curing prematurely within the container.
