application drifast-stain

Can Bona DriFast Stain be used on Jarrah?

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

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

Jarrah 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.
