FAQs

What is the main advantage of Bona Mega Gloss Lacquer?

The primary advantage is its ability to deliver the robust protection of a two-component lacquer with the simpler application of a one-component product, offering superior resistance to spills and scrapes.

Is this product suitable for all types of flooring?

No, Bona Mega Gloss Lacquer is specifically designed for wooden floors.

Can I use this lacquer with underfloor heating?

Yes, it is highly recommended for use with underfloor heating systems.

How long does it take for the lacquer to fully cure?

The floor can typically be used with light foot traffic after 24 hours, but full curing, ensuring maximum durability and scratch resistance, takes approximately 7 days, though this can vary slightly based on environmental conditions.

How do I clean a floor finished with Bona Mega Gloss Lacquer?

Clean spills immediately with a damp cloth and use Bona's specialized wood floor cleaners for routine maintenance. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads.

What is the recommended number of coats?

Typically, two to three coats are recommended for optimal protection and finish, depending on the condition of the subfloor and the desired level of durability.

Does the white colour affect the application?

The white colour is a pigment that provides a subtle white tone to the finish. It applies like any other lacquer, but ensure even application to avoid inconsistencies in colour distribution.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or streaks

Ensure the surface is properly prepared and free from dust. Apply the lacquer evenly with a suitable applicator, working in consistent strokes and avoiding overworking the product. Maintain a wet edge during application.

Poor adhesion or peeling

Verify that the floor surface was adequately prepared, clean, and dry before application. Ensure no contaminants like wax or silicone were present. Check compatibility with any existing finishes if not applying to bare wood.

Scratches appearing quickly

While durable, the lacquer requires a full curing period (typically several days to two weeks). Avoid heavy foot traffic and placing abrasive items on the floor until fully cured. Ensure adequate application thickness.

Lack of gloss or dull appearance

Confirm the correct product variant (Gloss) was used and applied evenly. Ensure proper application technique and sufficient drying time between coats. The surface may require a final polish if applied in very humid or cold conditions.
