2. How do I apply Bona Mega EVO?

3. How long does Bona Mega EVO take to dry?

5. Why is it important to use a primer with Bona Mega EVO?

Using a primer helps to seal the wood and prevent uneven absorption of the finish, resulting in a more uniform appearance. A primer, such as Bona Prime Classic or Bona Prime Intense, also enhances adhesion and adds an extra layer of protection. Additionally, primers can help maintain the natural color of the wood or enhance specific looks, depending on your preference.

These primers enhance the performance of Bona Mega EVO and help achieve the desired look and protection.
