COMPATIBILITY

Bona SuperSport DRIVE® will adhere to most stains, paints, sealers and finishes after proper preparation and dry times. Do not apply Bona SuperSport DRIVE® to raw wood, or wood flooring in which the surface temperature is below 50°F (10° C). Stain, sealer, paint, and finish results may vary widely depending on the wood species, especially on oily and resinous types. ALWAYS PREPARE A SAMPLE OR TEST AREA TO DETERMINE COMPATIBILITY, APPEARANCE AND DESIRED RESULTS.

SANDING AND PREPARATION OF NEW FLOORS

1. Sand and prepare floor using MFMA-accepted methods.
2. Make your final cut with 100 to 120-grit paper. Screen with 100-grit or 120-grit screen or use a Bona MultiDisc and 80-grit or 120-grit Bona Diamond abrasives.
3. Vacuum thoroughly.
4. Dry tack thoroughly.
5. Apply sealer and finish system (see finish directions).

THE BONA SUPERSPORT DRIVE® FINISH SYSTEM

Bona SuperSport DRIVE® is a 4-coat system: 1-2 coats of a Bona Sport® Sealer (follow sealer directions), CourtLines® Paint or Bona SuperSport Paint®, and 2 coats of Bona SuperSport DRIVE®. RECOMMENDED APPLICATORS 18” or 24” Bona Lightweight T-bar Floor Coater with a Bona Floor Coater Sleeve.

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

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

Remove lid and stir thoroughly before use.

FINISHING

1. Pour a 4”-6” wide line of finish along the starting wall. Go with the grain of the wood. 
2. Using a clean, predampened, lightweight applicator; draw the applicator forward, with the grain of the wood, moving the finish toward the opposite wall. Holding the applicator at a “snowplow” angle will help maintain a wet edge at all times.
3. At the end of each run, turn the applicator and pull it toward you through the puddle and pad out the applicator parallel to the wet edge.
4. Feather out all turns. Do not push too hard or too fast to avoid dripping or splattering.
5. Missed areas can be touched up if seen right away.
6. BE SURE YOU ARE USING THE RECOMMENDED COVERAGE OF 500-600 SQUARE FEET PER GALLON. DO NOT SPREAD TOO THIN.
7. Allow the first coat to dry 2-3 hours. High humidity and/or low temperature conditions will extend the dry time (recommended conditions of 65-80˚F/40-60% relative humidity).
8. Allow final coat to dry at least 24 hours before use.

INTERCOAT ABRASION FOR FLOORS WITH GAMELINES

See sealer instructions for proper sequence of sealer, game lines and finish coats. Before applying game lines, abrade using 180 or 240-grit Bona Diamond abrasives mounted on 1-2 Bona Conditioning Pads. Vacuum and tack thoroughly. Note: If paint will not be applied within 24 hours, the floor must be re-abraded to ensure proper adhesion. Apply game lines using Bona CourtLines or Bona SuperSport Paint according to label instructions. If using another manufacturer’s paint, before applying game lines, always prepare a sample or test area to determine compatibility and adhesion. Always abrade properly dried Bona CourtLines paint using a Bona Conditioning Pad. If using Bona SuperSport Paint, there is no need to abrade if within 48 hours of the previous coat. Always vacuum and tack thoroughly after abrading. Apply finish coat within 24 hours.

INTERCOAT ABRASION FOR FLOORS WITHOUT GAMELINES

It is not necessary to abrade between Bona waterborne sealer and finish coats unless more than 48 hours has passed since the previous coat was applied. For smoothest results, abrade between all coats as necessary. When using solvent-based sealers, ALWAYS abrade before finish coats. Always vacuum and tack thoroughly with a slightly water-dampened Bona SuperCourt® mop and Bona SuperCourt Microfiber Wet Cleaning Pad after abrading.

CURING

The curing process takes approximately 7 days. Do not replace area rugs until the floor has fully cured. The floor may be played on after 48 hours but remains susceptible to scuffing or marring until completely cured. No wet cleaning during the first week, only dry dust with a Bona SuperCourt Microfiber Dusting Pad. (Do not use dry dust mop treatment chemicals on wooden floors.)

RECOATING

Be sure floor is free from wax, polish, and oily residues. Always test for compatibility. Follow the Bona Prep® system and apply 1-2 coats of Bona SuperSport DRIVE® finish. A second option is to use an auto scrubber and Bona SuperCourt Microfiber Scrubbing Pads, and Bona SuperCourt Cleaner to clean the floor. Abrade the floor with a Bona MultiDisc and 180-grit Bona Diamond abrasives. Dry tack with a Bona SuperCourt Microfiber Dusting Pad. Clean floor with the auto scrubber. Wet tack. Finish with 1-2 coats of Bona SuperSport DRIVE® CLEAN-UP Application tools should be cleaned with water and stored in an airtight container. Recycle container when empty.

STORAGE

Nonflammable - Bona SuperSport DRIVE should be stored in a climate-controlled environment. KEEP FROM FREEZING. Do not store above 100˚ F (38˚ C).

MAINTENANCE

Place walk-off mats at all entrance doorways to keep out excessive dirt and grit. For best results, see Bona SuperCourt Athletic Floor Care System products for optimal wood floor care.
