Bona Traffic HD is a 2-component (2K) finish. You must add the <strong>Bona Traffic HD Hardener</strong> (sold separately) before application. The hardener-to-finish ratio is specified on the can — typically around 1 part hardener to 10 parts finish. Once mixed, the pot life is approximately 8 hours. Do not use unmixed.</p> <h3>How many coats of Bona Traffic HD do I need?</h3> <p>For most residential floors, 2 coats of Traffic HD over a properly applied sealer (such as Bona ClassicSeal or NordicSeal) is sufficient. For high-traffic areas, commercial floors, or floors that won't have rugs, apply 3 coats. See our <a href="https://baileyflooringsupplies.com/blogs/news/how-many-polyurethane-coats-on-hardwood-floors-for-optimal-durability">full polyurethane coats guide</a> for more detail.</p> <h3>What sealer should I use under Bona Traffic HD?</h3> <p>Bona recommends <strong>Bona ClassicSeal</strong> for a natural look, or <strong>Bona NordicSeal</strong> for a lighter, whitewashed effect. Both are designed to work within the Bona system and ensure maximum adhesion and durability.</p> <h3>Can I use Bona Traffic HD over stain?</h3> <p>Yes. Apply your stain first (such as Bona DriFast or Loba Lo-Fi), allow full dry time, then apply sealer, then Traffic HD topcoats. For the full system walkthrough, read our <a href="https://baileyflooringsupplies.com/blogs/news/achieving-a-flawless-loba-finish-tips-and-techniques">professional floor finish application guide</a>.</p> <h3>How does Bona Traffic HD compare to Loba 2K Invisible Protect?</h3> <p>Both are 2-component waterborne systems with excellent durability. Bona Traffic HD has a wider sheen range and is the industry benchmark for commercial durability. Loba 2K Invisible Protect specializes in ultra-matte, natural-look finishes. Both are available at Bailey Flooring Supplies — we stock whichever system fits your project.</p> <p><strong>Ships fast via UPS from Winfield, WV. Free shipping on qualifying US orders.</strong></p>

I loved this product. Everything about it to be exact. I used it on high end oak stairs and they came out beautiful. I also played around and sealed some old chunks of live edge I had laying around and it came out absolutely amazing. I did zero prep to the live edge.

I will begin by stating that we are not professionals, but just watched some videos and decided to refinish two bedrooms in our home. Our local rental company proved sandpaper in 24, 36, and 80 grit. This is how we prepped our floors. We stained them with oil based Mocha then I saw a photo of light floors I loved so we ended up sanding them again. We went with Bona Natural Seal and Traffic HD. We did sand them again with 120 grit paper per the recommendation on the gallon, but this was by hand with a palm sander. We applied two coats sealer then one coat traffic HD, then we screen sanded with 180 grit I believe. There was a bit of grain raise due to the nature of water based products. After our second and final coat of Traffic HD, there was far less grain but there was still a texture. I'm not a professional. I do not know if water based is supposed to be glassy smooth like oil but ours is not. That said, we are very happy with the results! They are smooth underfoot, but there is texture when you feel with your hand. I do believe if we used a piece of equipment to sand the first 120 grit before the sealer, instead of a palm sander, it would have helped to reduce grain raise, and also, if we had used a piece of equipment between the two top coats, instead of a screen on a painters pole, it would have left a smoother finish for the final coat. We did 4 coats total. 24 grit drum sander (ds), 36 grit (ds), 80 grit (ds), 120 palm sander, 2 coats of Natural Seal, 1 coat of Traffic HD, sanded with pole and screen 180 grit, 1 coat of Traffic HD.
Hopefully this is helpful to someone else, just our experience!! Not that it is all the correct method.
But the product itself was very easy to apply. We used a t-bar that I purchased from a local flooring company, in person. He highly recommended that I use a roller instead for ease of use, but we really didn't have much issue with the t-bar. We have loved the Bona products!!
