Bona does not explicitly address the combination of Bona White on Spotted Gum. Spotted Gum is classified low-medium tannin.
Bona White is 'not recommended for darker or red timbers'. Spotted Gum ranges from pale grey-brown to chocolate depending on source; trial application is essential.
The conservative default is to follow Bona's general primer-selection logic:
• For high-tannin or dark hardwoods: specify Bona Intense.
• For softwoods and parquetry: Bona Classic is particularly suitable.
• For a whitewashed look on pale hardwoods: Bona White is the intended primer.
• Under Bona Traffic HD Raw: use Bona Classic UX.
A trial application is essential whenever the matrix status is 'unlisted'.
