Bona Traffic HD - Commercial Semi-Gloss

I selected Bona Traffic HD for coating 12 non-stained natural Maple stair treads and Maple hand rails due to customer reviews, because it was water based and because HD had lower VOCs and reported odors. I used Bona Seal before applying Bona Traffic HD and used a paint applicator pad for both products in March of 2014. The stairs and hand rails still look brand new to me with no yellowing and no visible wear (but we're a small family of three). I'm very satisfied with the end result, the durability, the level of effort required to install it and the low odor. (The Bona Seal had a stronger smell than the Bona Traffic.) During application, I would coat every other stair tread at bedtime so there would be at least 8hrs drying time. We were careful to use the uncoated stair tread the next day, but the coated tread was dry enough to walk on with socks. I did this procedure for three coats. I didn't sand between coats and I'm satisfied with the gloss and smoothness. I'm now coating white wash painted stair treads before installation for a room over the garage. Used Bona Seal over the white wash and have one coat of Traffic HD so far.

Good product. Good thing I bought 2. One was missing a strainer.

Easy to use. Just as advertised. Will definitely purchase more

Strong and durable, nice shine

Looks good I used it on my yellow pine floor unfortunately it’s not quite strong enough to stop the dog scratches but I would imagine in a hardwood it would hold up well I applied three coats I would buy again
