TotalBoat Gleam Marine Spar Varnish – Gloss & Satin Wood Finish (Pint)

TotalBoat Gleam is a classic marine spar varnish designed to protect and elevate wood surfaces—from boats and strip canoes to outdoor furniture and bar tops. The formula blends premium tung oil, phenolic resins and UV blockers to deliver a transparent amber hue in gloss or satin, while staying flexible enough to move with seasonal changes. This means you can expect a durable, waterproof finish that resists chipping and cracking without sacrificing the natural beauty of the wood.

Why Gleam stands out

• Premium tung oil and phenolic resins with UV blockers for lasting color and protection
• Flexible, non-peeling finish that moves with wood as temperatures and humidity fluctuate
• Easy application by brush, roller, or spray with reduced brush marks and strong flow

Where to use Gleam

• Interior and exterior wood on boats, furniture, tiki bars, and outdoor surfaces
• Bar tops, picnic tables, Adirondack chairs, barn doors, and other outdoor woodworking projects

Performance and finishes

Choose Gloss for a high-shine look or build a Satin final coat for a low-sheen, warm amber glow. Gleam provides a medium-build per coat with excellent flow-out, resulting in a smooth, durable surface that showcases wood grain.

The formula dries quickly and accepts additional coats, helping you complete projects faster. Recoat is possible in as little as 1 hour at 72°F, and you can apply up to 3 coats in a single day with proper thinning if needed. Coverage ranges around 360–400 sq ft per gallon, depending on porosity and application technique.

• Finish options: 4–6 coats for Gloss; multiple coats with Gloss underlayers + final Satin for Satin
