Overview

Bona Gap Master can be used to fill gaps between a variety of interior wooden surfaces including floorboards and skirting boards, prior to overcoating with a wood primer, varnish or wood oil.

Coverage is dependent on gap width and depth.

The table below gives coverage guidelines per tube:

Gap Depth Gap Width (mm) (mm) 3 7 10 12 3 33m 14m 10m 8m 5 20m 8m 6m 5m 7 14m 6m 4m 3.5m 10 10m 4m 3m 2m

Please note: Larger gaps may require packing with rope or cord to prevent the Gap Master from simply falling through the gap. The Gap Master is then used to fill the gap between the cord and the surface of the floor.

Preparation

Ensure that surfaces to be treated are clean, dry and free from any dust, dirt or other surface contaminants. Wider gaps in floors may require rope, foam backing rod or other methods to prevent the filler from falling through the gap during application.

Application

Always do a test area first and read the manufacturer's instructions on the tube. Do not apply if risk of rain or frost. For the best results, application temperature should be above: 13°C.

  1. Cut the dome seal of the tube with a sharp knife, taking care not to damage the thread
  2. Screw the nozzle on to the tube
  3. Cut the nozzle at an angle to suite the size and shape of the gap to be filled
  4. Slowly squeeze the mastic gun trigger to start the flow from the nozzle
  5. Apply as a continuous bead ensuring contact is made with all surfaces of the gap
  6. Immediately smooth the bead with a flat edge, sponge or wet finger
  7. Allow 24 hours to dry, then lightly sand the surface

Please note: When fully dry and ready for sanding, it is best done using a fine abrasive by hand or using hand tools that can be run at a slow speed. This is because Bona Gap Master is designed to remain flexible. This is an excellent property for use with a material like wood, which expands and contracts. This flexibility makes it difficult to sand when it is very soft (insufficiently dry) or a too-aggressive sanding method is used. Wider, deeper gaps will require longer to fully dry prior to sanding.

FAQ

Can this product be used for filling gaps between floor and skirting board?

Bona Gap Master is perfect for filling and sealing the gap under skirting board edges or between skirting boards and walls. It's flexible so can move with the wood of the floor and skirting boards, can be sanded smooth when fully dry and is available in a range of colours to blend in with pre or previously finished floors, skirting boards and walls. This makes it the ideal choice as a skirting board filler.

How do I know what is the best colour to match my floor?

Colours can be difficult when looking at screens. You can get in touch by calling us on 01303 213838 and we can send a real life photograph of the colours next to each other so you can get a better understanding of how they appear.

Easy to use and does exactly what you want

With no experience whatsoever, I have used this product to fill some gaps in our parquet flooring.

Easy to work with, better than mixing epoxy and sawdust

I know the received wisdom is to use sawdust and epoxy (or PVA) but I found that gives a much darker colour than the wood. (Not surprising as you're effectively adding water to the wood?) The Bona Gap Master filler is reasonably forgiving in application. I was filling gaps in floorboards and I did mask to avoid getting it on the floorboards - easier than trying to remove later. It's all very time consuming but best approach I've found as a DIY-yer

Does exactly what is says and does it very well.

Easy use, easy to sand, looks great

Jim Roxborough
Does exactly as advertised .

I found the trick is to mask up each side of the gap and smooth out with a filling knife.

Bona gap master

Corking floor board gaps prior to painting. Seems to have worked well. You must insure that any overspreading is wiped away. Best to mask with tape.

Bianca Howson
Great.

Easy to use, very very flexible but because of this can be difficult to clean up excess when Dried so definitely make sure you remove as much excess as possible before it dries. It will make your life a lot easier.

Replacing 25 year old product.

Renewing product which has cracked and come away from the floorboards it was sealing. Annoying that it did need replacing and was letting in drafts, but it had been in place for 25 years. Removing the old sealant was very easy and installing the new was straightforward. Product arrived very promptly and bog oak is a much more appropriate colour for pine floorboards than other sealants which have a much more restricted range of colours.

Excellent product

Arrived quickly and well packaged. Easy to use and has nicely filled the gaps between the floorboards. As they say when using it, it can be difficult to wipe up the surplus on the wood, I chose not to use masking tape but realise that would have given a better finish. I wiped off the surplus with a damp cloth and best to do this immediately.

Flexible filler.

Very easy to use especially as it is water based. Just a couple of things to note. I used this to fill between floor boards and there is some shrink back which wasn't an issue for me but could be in some situations. Also, in cold and humid conditions this can take quite a long time to dry. In my case in an unheated renovation project in West coast Scotland in February 48hrs+. It does say this on the tube but it is as well to plan for this if on a similar job. It overcoated with fiddes clear glaze.

Actually flexible and does fill gaps

Unlike the competition this actually does what it says on the tin (tube actually but you get the drift) flexible easily sand-able not chalky or crumbly would absolutely recommend it may be a few pound more expensive but it is actually better value as does what it should and makes a brilliant finish

Does exactly what it says it will do.

We have now purchased this product 3 times. Initially we wondered if it would fill the gaps in our floorboards but it did such a great job that we ordered more to complete the entire room. It really does do what it says it will and it fills the gaps.

Good product range, price and service

I found Duralay underlay easy to fit and seal with waterproof gaffer tape. Not many suppliers supplied it in the wider width and although this is heavier, I found it easier to lay. This was recommended by our flooring supplier and I’m very happy with it

Robert Farrell
Great quality and finish

Quality product, hardly any waste due to various plank sizes.

Mr. Merlin Hendy
Excellent product at a good price

The Bona Gap Filler (Wenge) was the perfect colour/tone for the flooring gaps and this product is easy to use, easy to clean off and dries without much shrinkage. WFD stocked this item at a much cheaper price than many others.

Easy to use and seems to do the job.

Excellent product so far. It’s easy to apply to the gaps between boards. It’s probably best to use masking tape either side of the boards which I did for a small amount. For the rest of them I wiped the access. away with a damp cloth. With hindsight I think the masking tape method was probably better, certainly it’s cleaner. Only time will tell how good it is. If there was one single improvement, I could make it would be to have a sealable nozzle.

Used successfully to fill gaps between badly laid wood flooring

Wood flooring in a bathroom had been badly laid and over time gaps had appeared between all the boards, making the floor unsightly and difficult to clean. Bona Gap Master Filler has transformed the floor which is much improved, even though a perfect colour match was not achievable. Masking tape was used on either side of the gaps for ease of application. A bit time consuming but worthwhile.

Love this product

This stuff is great doesnt dry too quickly so plenty of time to work. I really like that its water based meaning its easier to work with gives a neater finish and cleanup is easy. Ive previously used a similar product from a diferent brand and the difference is unreal. I will definatly be buying this product for future jobs.

Simple didn't get what it said on the tin

If there was an opposite colour for the one I purchased I got it. I just hope it wasn't the whole batch your firm bought.

So far so good.

Filled a shrinkage gap in the surface of a dressing table. Worked easily but the colour was not quite right though the gap was successfully filled.
