You can top coat with traffic, but I would make sure that you have no bonding issues with the Olympic material with the wood.

Also, the technical folks at BonaUS ought to be able to give you the best answer. Call them.

Thanks Glenn. I called Bona and it took a half hour on hold, but they said most poly's stick to other poly's, even water over oil, as long as it's fully cured. They advised me to lightly etch/screen it, and try it in a small area (we've got a coat closet that'll do).

We don't have any bonding issues with the Olympic to the wood, just an overabundance of scuffing and scratching.

There's hope!

You can recoat this floor yourself...just read all the instructions and follow them to the letter. Same with cautions about product handling.

I don't know what they told you about prep, but my advice would be to buff the floor with a maroon pad and their Prep product, clean it absolutely...and then coat with Traffic when the floor has dried.

You don't need the t-bar applicator if what you're doing is a small area. 9" foam and flock applicators by Shurline (or an equivalent product) works well.

Thanks for all the detailed info, glenn. I'll let you know how it turns out.
