Product Information

Full details

The Bona Classic UX Primer is a professional-grade, water-based solution specifically engineered for contractors and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a light, untreated wood aesthetic when finishing floors. It acts as an optimal foundation for Bona Mega and Bona Traffic varnishes, offering excellent adhesion and a quick-drying process that minimizes downtime. While it is highly versatile and compatible with underfloor heating, users should note that its primary purpose is to maintain a natural look rather than to change the wood tone, meaning it may not suit projects requiring deep color enhancement.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this primer with other brands of varnish?

While it may be compatible with other water-based finishes, it is specifically formulated and tested to work best with Bona Mega and Bona Traffic systems.

Does this product change the color of the wood?

No, it is designed to provide a light, natural finish that maintains the look of untreated wood.

Is it safe for pets and children?

It is a water-based, low-VOC product, which is generally safer than solvent-based alternatives, but you should ensure the area is well-ventilated during application and until fully cured.

How many coats of primer should I apply?

Typically, one coat is sufficient as a foundation for the subsequent topcoats.

Can I apply this over an existing finish?

No, this primer must be applied to bare, sanded wood to ensure proper penetration and adhesion.

What should I use to clean up after application?

You can clean your tools with water immediately after use, provided the product has not yet dried.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks on the finished surface

Ensure you are using a high-quality microfiber roller and maintain a 'wet edge' during application to allow for smooth leveling.

Primer drying too quickly during application

Work in smaller sections and ensure the room temperature and humidity are within the recommended range for water-based products.

Poor adhesion of the topcoat

Check that the primer was fully cured before applying the topcoat and ensure no dust or debris was left on the surface between coats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Before application, ensure the floor is completely clean, dry, and free of wax or polish residue. Shake the container well before use. Apply the primer evenly using a roller, following the direction of the wood grain to avoid lap marks.

Compatibility: This primer is specifically designed to be used in conjunction with Bona Mega and Bona Traffic finish systems. While it may work with other products, Bona recommends the full system approach for guaranteed durability and adhesion.

Care: Store the product in a cool, frost-free environment. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use. Clean application tools with water immediately after finishing the job to prevent the product from hardening in the roller or brush.
