Ignore the one star review!! This is a great product!
Ignore the one star review. This IS a wipe on wipe off OIL finish. It’s made from vegetable oil and has zero VOCs. Yes it is a two part finish but that is a benefit. The second part is a hardener, this helps cure the finish and strengthens the ware layer.<br /><br />I’m a professional hardwood refinisher and have used Bona Craft oil for the past year. It’s very easy to apply, you can hand rub it on for smaller projects or for larger projects like a hardwood floor you can use a trowel or a buffer to apply. Wait 15-30 minutes and buff it off. Make sure to only apply 25-50 square feet at a time until you get comfortable with the process.<br /><br />The biggest benefit is that it can be easily repaired, just sand out the damaged area and reapply. You don’t need to worry about lap lines.<br /><br />This is a mono coat finish, but you can add  multiple coats without sanding between coats. You can also top coat it with Bona Traffic finish for extra protection. Make sure to follow the instructions on the can, different colors will have different cure times. Usually between 12-18 hours.<br /><br />Update - The review that talks about this product staining easily is miss informed. Yes using a Bona Certified Craftsman is recommended but isn’t required. I feel I need to make something clear. This product is Susceptible to water popping for a while after it is applied. If you get water on it or roll an appliance dolly across the floor with wet wheels it will look stained. This is not to worry though. You just need to water pop the floor to remove these marks. To water pop the floor use clean water in a spray bottle or the recommended Bona oiled floor cleaner and a microfiber mop. Work across the floor in sections working with the grain. Like a magic eraser this will remove the areas that the dolly rolled across or where you spilled water on the floor.<br /><br />If you top coat the floor with at least one coat of Bona Traffic series finish you will have sealed the floor in and the water popping issue will be eliminated.<br /><br />The following photos are of a quarter sawn white oak that we wire brushed, used a mix of Clay and Garnet craft oil then top coated with 2 coats of Bona Traffic HD Satin. This floor is hard as nails and with proper care with will last for the next 30 plus years.
