I used bona traffic in my foyer and it has held up incredibly well. I couldn't be happier. I had my floor in my kitchen refinished and they insisted a sealer and varnish was the way to go. I wasn't real happy with the work but that's in the past. I want to rent one of those orbital sander deals to smooth everything out and apply finish again. The bona traffic has held up sooo much better I want to use it again.

Now, how do I go about using this stuff over varnish? The poly is about 1.5 years old. Do I just sand the floor real well and apply?

Thanks guys

Evan

Since the varnish was put down quite awhile ago the only prep you should need to do is to buff the floor. I would suggest using a 220 grit sanding screen for this. Then you can apply the traffic right over this finish.
