Product Information
Full details
Bonda G4 Thinners is an essential chemical agent designed for professional users and DIY enthusiasts working with the Bonda range of sealants. Its primary benefit is providing the correct viscosity for G4, Bondaseal Clear, Woodseal, and 15 Year White products, which is crucial for achieving deep penetration on dense or oily wood surfaces. A key caveat is that this is a specialized solvent, and users must adhere to strict safety protocols regarding ventilation and skin protection during application.

FAQs
Can I use this with any brand of wood sealant?
No, Bonda G4 Thinners is specifically formulated for the Bonda range, including G4, Bondaseal, and Woodseal products.
What is the recommended mix ratio?
For the first coat on dense or oily wood, a 20% addition of thinner to the sealant is recommended.
Do I need to wear protective gear?
Yes, always use gloves and ensure the area is well-ventilated, as the product is a solvent.
How should I store the leftover thinner?
Store in its original container, tightly sealed, in a cool and well-ventilated place away from heat.
Will this affect the final color of the sealant?
No, when used according to the manufacturer's instructions, it does not alter the color or performance characteristics of Bonda products.
Troubleshooting
Sealant appears too thin after mixing
You may have exceeded the 20% recommended ratio. Add a small amount of un-thinned sealant to restore the desired consistency.
Sealant takes too long to dry
Over-thinning can increase drying times. Ensure you are applying in a well-ventilated area with appropriate ambient temperatures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use this product, pour the required amount of Bonda G4 Thinners into your sealant container slowly while stirring continuously to prevent separation. Always ensure the workspace is well-ventilated, as the vapors are potent. When finished, keep the container tightly sealed in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight or ignition sources. The product is strictly for use with Bonda G4, Bondaseal Clear, Woodseal, and 15 Year White products; do not attempt to use it to thin generic paints or unrelated sealants, as this will compromise the finish.
