TotalBoat Clear Penetrating Epoxy Wood Sealer – Rot Repair (1.5 Quart, Traditional)

Deeply Saturate and Stabilize Rotten Wood

TotalBoat Clear Penetrating Epoxy Wood Sealer Stabilizer is designed to stop active rot and restore damaged wood by delivering a low viscosity, two part epoxy resin that travels deep into fibers. The system cures to a firm, waterproof consistency, creating a solid base for finishes like paint or varnish after light sanding. This approach aims to preserve original material and reduce the need for full board replacement, offering a practical option for boaters and property owners alike.

Because the resin cures a bit slower than fast set options, it can saturate wood more fully, gluing and strengthening fibers from the inside out. The result is a stiffer substrate that supports coatings and resists future moisture intrusion. The formulation is low in VOCs, making it suitable for more comfortable, safer use in enclosed spaces and on projects where exposure matters.

What makes TotalBoat a practical choice

• Stops active rot while sealing porous wood from within to slow further damage.
• Glued and strengthened fibers provide a more stable surface for finishes.
• Low viscosity helps preserve wood grain and reduce surface buildup.
• Waterproof after cure, allowing for reliable painting and varnishing once you’re ready.

Versatile applications for boats, decks, and structures

Ideal for restoring rotted wood on boats, as well as wooden structures around the home or workshop. It works on both softwoods and hardwoods and can be used to seal bare or new wood to protect against future damage. Whether you’re rehabilitating rotted stringers, deck boards, or structural beams, this epoxy helps create a solid foundation for finish work.

• Compatible with a wide range of woods, including cedar, fir, oak, and teak.
• Suitable for butcher block, live edge slabs, plywood and OSB where restoration is needed.

How to use and finish

Mix two parts resin to one part hardener, then apply with a brush, roller, or syringe. For deeper penetration, you can introduce a small amount of acetone to the mix. After curing, light sanding allows you to paint or varnish over the surface to achieve your preferred look.

Formulas and sizes to fit your project

Choose between Traditional and Cold Weather formulas to match your working environment. Traditional formula is designed for 65 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit, while Cold Weather covers 40 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Product kits are available in 1.5 Pint, 1.5 Quart, 0.75 Gallon, and 1.5 Gallon sizes, giving you options for small repairs or larger restoration jobs.

Finish readiness and safety notes

Once cured, the surface may be painted or varnished after light sanding. Do not use Cold Weather Penetrating Epoxy as a fast cure in warm temperatures, and do not apply over Minwax oil based stains to avoid unexpected results.
