DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

PACIFIC ULTRA™ provides a deep, rich finish with a “traditional look.” PACIFIC ULTRA™ provides superior chemical resistance, protecting against most household chemicals. PACIFIC ULTRA™ is the Environmental Choice. The Environmental Choice® Seal is a registered trademark of BonaKemi USA, Inc. and represents a waterbased formula which meets or exceeds all state and federal clean air quality standards. Available in gloss, semi-gloss and satin.

BEFORE USING, READ ALL DIRECTIONS AND MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET #80170 FOR THIS PRODUCT AND MSDS #80050 OR #50080 FOR THE CROSSLINKER.

PREPARATION: ABRADE AND RECOAT OLD FLOORS
1.
Be sure floor is free from wax or oily residue. 2. Clean floor thoroughly with Bona Swedish Formula Hardwood Floor Cleaner. 3. Abrade with Bona Conditioning Pad. 4. Vacuum thoroughly. 5. Tack with slightly water-dampened cloth or Bona Mop. 6. Apply finish (see finish directions).

NOTE: PACIFIC ULTRAT.M. will adhere to most stains and finishes after proper preparation and dry times. ALWAYS PREPARE A SAMPLE OR TEST AREA TO DETERMINE COMPATIBILITY.

SANDING AND FINISHING NEW FLOORS 1. Sand floor using NOFMA-accepted methods. 2. For a neutral or stained floor, make your final cut with 80-grit paper and screen with 80-100-grit screen. Apply BONA WOODLINE DS-STAIN. For an unstained, natural floor, make your final cut with 100-grit paper and screen to 150 grit. This burnishing will reduce the amount of grain raise. 3. Vacuum thoroughly. 4. Tack with slightly water-dampened cloth. 5. Apply sealer and finish system (see finish directions).

THE PACIFIC ULTRA™ SYSTEM IS A 3-COAT SYSTEM:

NOTE: Use a clean applicator for sealer and a separate clean applicator for finish.

INTERCOAT ABRASION: Abrading between finish coats is not necessary for adhesion unless it has been more than 48 hours since the previous coat has been applied. However, for smoothest floor results, buff the sealer coat with a BONA Conditioning Pad and two BONA SIAFAST Delta Sheets. The Delta Sheets are to be used for abrading Pacific High Build only. Prior to applying the final finish coat, buff with the Bona Conditioning Pad. Always thoroughly vacuum and tack with a slighly water-dampened cloth after buffing.

FINISHING: SHAKE OR STIR WELL BEFORE USING. 1. Open the crosslinker bottle and add an equal part of water to the crosslinker. Shake well. Add the crosslinker/water mixture to PACIFIC ULTRAT.M. within 15 minutes. Shake or stir and let sit 5-10 minutes. 2. Using a plastic pour can, pour a 4" wide line of finish along the starting wall. Go with the grain of the wood. 3. Using a clean, pre-dampened applicator, draw the applicator forward, with the grain of the wood, moving the finish toward the opposite wall. By holding the applicator at a "snowplow" angle, it maintains a wet edge at all times. 4. At the end of each stroke, turn the applicator toward you and pad out the applicator parallel to the wet edge. 5. Feather out all turns. If pushed too hard or too fast, drips will fly off the applicator. 6. Missed areas can be touched up if seen right away. 7. To prevent lapping and dry marks, be sure you are using the recommended coverage of 500-600 sq. ft. per gallon. Be careful not to spread the finish too thin. 8. Allow your first coat to dry 1-2 hours. For smoothest results, before applying final coat, buff with BONA Conditioning Pad. Vacuum and tack thoroughly before applying final coat. Allow final coat to dry at least 48 hours before use.

CURING: The curing process takes approximately 7 days. Do not replace area rugs until the floor has fully cured. The floor may be walked on after 24 hours, but the floor is susceptible to scuffing or marring prior to completion of the curing time. Cleaning with water or detergent is not allowed during the first week.

CLEAN-UP: Tools should be cleaned with water and stored in the BONA Applicator Storage Canister.

MAINTENANCE: Put walk-off mats at all entrance doorways to keep out excessive dirt and grit. Sweep or vacuum daily and damp wipe as needed with BONA Swedish Formula Hardwood Floor Cleaner. The floor may be periodically spray-buffed with cleaner and a white polishing pad to clean larger areas.
