Bona Intense Primer is a water-based primer for flooring, which gives a medium-rich wood colouration. Perfect for floors with underfloor heating and/or moving floors such as end grain or plank floors. It is especially suitable on tropical hardwood floors and can be used to seal-in floor stains prior to varnishing.

Preparation
Preparation
Back
Ensure that floors and other wooden surfaces are acclimatised to their end-use environment. The surface to be coated must be clean, dry and free from sanding dust, oils, waxes and any other surface contaminants.
- For the best results, surfaces must be initially sanded back to bare wood
- Remove all traces of sanding dust with a vacuum cleaner
- If a colour change is required, apply desired stain
- For filling gaps between floor boards and skirting boards, use Bona Gap Master
- For filing holes, splits, dents and other surface imperfections, use Bona Mix and Fill or Bona Mix and Fill Plus
Application
Application
Back
Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the container at all times.
Allow the container to reach room temperature. For the best results, apply in conditions that are 18-25°C and 40-60% relative air humidity. High temperatures and low humidity shorten drying time, low temperatures and high humidity lengthen the drying time. Minimum temperature for use is 13°C.
- Insert the supplied filter into the container opening, replace lid and shake thoroughly before use
- Apply evenly, using a Bona Lacquer Roller or Bona Swivel Head Applicator, avoiding accumulation of product
- Care should be taken to achieve a uniform level of timber saturation to avoid colour variation
- Always maintain a 'wet edge' to avoid overlaps
- When dry, abrade to reduce grain raise using the Bona Scrad system or a sanding screen grit 150 or finer

Easy to use and provided a very firm bond on my new solid oak plank floors
Excellent, no colour change to the oak floors but it intensified the grain features exactly as described
