Marine Grade Wood Sealer for Boats - Quart Size

To ensure a successful varnish job, it is essential to start with a strong foundation on bare wood that is sealed, smooth, and UV stable. TotalBoat Wood Sealer pre-varnish primer is specifically designed for this purpose. It creates a solid and level base for varnish coats, promotes excellent adhesion, and enhances the appearance and durability of the varnish finish. Bare wood tends to absorb varnish quickly, causing the first few coats to disappear into the surface and fill the grain. To prevent this, it is recommended to apply 2-3 coats of TotalBoat Wood Sealer varnish primer before using 1-part varnish, allowing for better coverage and a longer-lasting finish. This economical marine wood sealer penetrates deeply to seal and prime all types of bare wood, including plywood and oily woods like teak, while providing maximum UV protection to prevent damage.

The clear amber color of this wood sealer highlights the natural wood grain and color, without affecting the color of marine filler stains. It is important to ensure that the stain is completely dry before applying the Wood Sealer and to test for compatibility on a small area. After applying 2-3 coats of Wood Sealer without sanding between coats, allow 24 hours for drying before applying varnish like TotalBoat Lust or Gleam 2.0 directly over it, without thinning or sanding between coats. This saves time and prevents wastage of varnish. TotalBoat Wood Sealer is compatible with all 1-part varnish products and offers great value and results, making it a top choice for sealing and priming new or bare wood.

This one-part pre-varnish wood sealer not only fills and seals the wood grain for a smooth surface, but also provides UV protection down to the wood grain to prevent cracking and peeling of varnish. It is easy to apply using a brush, roller, or sprayer on interior or exterior bare wood surfaces, and dries quickly without the need for sanding between coats. Available in quart size, this clear amber sealer is recommended for use under 1-part varnish or polyurethane, with a coverage of 60-100 sq ft per quart. For best results, apply 2-3 coats at 3mils wet film thickness for a stable and long-lasting finish.
