Bona Red Out is a simple, easy-to-apply solution for removing red and pink hues commonly found in red oak flooring and other red-toned wood species.

Bona Red Out is a two-step waterborne color neutralizer that helps to mimic the look of white oak wood flooring by reducing red and pink tones. Bona Red Out is safe to use on a variety of wood species, including red oak and Brazilian cherry. This one-of-a-kind product has a low odor, dries quickly, and is compatible with the entire Bona System for easy staining, sealing, and finishing, making it the ideal first step to achieve lighter tones, including a Nordic look, regardless of the color or species of wood.

All flooring surfaces in homes and businesses that could use a lighter, natural design can be safely cleaned with Bona Red Out. It saves significant time not to water pop the floor before staining because it is a waterborne substance. Bona Red Out has no pot life, so there is no waste and it may be used across multiple jobs. Additionally, the solution may be easily customized to meet the needs of each project by diluting it with water.

  • Minimizes the red/pink hues commonly found in red oak flooring
  • Simple, easy-to-use 2-step process
  • Compatible with the entire Bona Finishing System
  • Quick drying, low odor formula
  • No limited pot life and no wasted product

  • Great for lacing-in

Directions for use

SANDING AND PREPARATION OF NEW FLOORS

  1. Sand and prepare floor using accepted industry association methods.
  2. Make your final cut with 80 to 100-grit paper then Bona MultiDisc with 80 to 120-grit.
  3. Use a Tampico Brush on a buffer and vacuum thoroughly.
  4. Tack with a dry Bona Microfiber Pad or cloth to remove dust.

THE BONA RED OUT FINISH SYSTEM

Apply 1-2 coats of Bona Red Out, followed by any Bona stain, natural penetrating oil, or sealer, followed by 2-3 coats of any Bona finish. Follow label directions. Visit bona.com for additional product and application information.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

Shake and stir well before using. Mix occasionally during use.
NOTE: Bona Red Out™ can be diluted with water for a lesser effect. Dilute by mixing equal parts of water in both part A and part B.

Bona Red Out is intended to be used together as a Step 1 and Step 2 process. DO NOT MIX PART A AND PART B TOGETHER.

APPLICATION PROCESS

Bona recommends 1-2 applications depending on the desired appearance.

  1. Using a Bona Microfiber roller and paint tray, apply Bona Red Out Part A liberally and evenly to raw wood, smoothing it out with the grain using a cut-in pad tool, and allow to penetrate for 10-15 minutes. Wait until there is no visual puddling of part A on the floor before moving on to the next step.
  2. Using Bona Red Out Part B, repeat the same process. If a second coat is necessary, repeat the above process. For best results apply Part B while the floor is still wet with Part A. If part A dries completely before part B is applied, the bleaching effect will be slightly diminished. Note: If there is a hazy or chalky appearance on the floor, it’s best practice to rinse the entire floor with clean water before applying a stain or sealer. If the floor is clean and haze free, you can proceed without rinsing with water.
  3. BE SURE YOU ARE USING THE RECOMMENDED COVERAGE OF 450-650 SQ. FT. PER GALLON. DO NOT SPREAD TOO THIN.
  4. Allow the floor to dry overnight under ideal conditions of 60º-80º F(16º-27ºC) with 35-75% relative humidity. High humidity and low-temperature conditions will extend dry time, while increased ventilation and airflow will reduce dry time. Note: A pinless moisture meter can determine the most accurate dry time of Bona Red Out. Document the raw wood’s moisture content before applying Bona Red Out, and then wait until
    the moisture content is within 1% of the baseline measurement before application of stain or sealer

FLOOR PREP AFTER BONA RED OUT

Once completely dry, the floor can be stained as-is for a water-popped color saturation level, or it can be buffed with a 1” red pad to smooth out any grain raise.
