Dry and Cure Times - Water Based Finish

Your floor has been refinished with a clear waterborne wood sealer (Bonaseal), oil sealer, or stain, followed by two coats of Bona Traffic HD. It is a very durable, moisture-resistant surface finish.

Dry time: The floor may be walked on after 2-3 hours, and furniture replaced after 72 hours, but the floor is susceptible to scuffing or marring prior to completion of the curing time. Work may resume during this time but take care to protect the floor. Avoid throw rugs during this time. 

Cure Time: The curing process takes approximately 3 days (80% after 1 day, 100% after 3 days). Do not replace walk-off mats or throw rugs until finish is fully cured. Do not drag or slide furniture. Do not clean with water or detergent during the curing process. Use only a dry cloth for cleaning during the first two weeks.

If you are planning to tape down rosin paper or use painters tape, we recommend using 3M Safe Release tape and only use after the cure time.
