application drifast-sealer

Can Bona DriFast Sealer be used on Spotted Gum?

Yes — Bona lists Spotted Gum as a suitable substrate for Bona DriFast Sealer (covered under Bona's 'hardwood-generic' substrate listing).

Bona's TDS for Bona DriFast Sealer lists the following substrates: hardwood-generic, softwood-generic, engineered, parquetry.

Spotted Gum is covered by that list (covered under Bona's 'hardwood-generic' substrate listing). In practice, tannin-rich Australian hardwoods (Blackbutt, Spotted Gum) can require a neutralising primer before waterborne topcoats to prevent tannin bleed-through. Always confirm the primer/topcoat combination against the product's Specifier Paragraphs for the species at hand.
