Description

Lust is the first true one-part marine spar varnish that lets you finish any varnish job faster because you can apply multiple coats in one day - without sanding between coats. It cures to a warm, rich, clear amber tone with a high gloss or matte finish that looks spectacular on all types of interior and exterior marine and household wood, including teak brightwork, toe rails, hand rails, trim, doors, cabinets, outdoor patio furniture, bar tops, tabletops, and more. This marine varnish is truly an exciting innovation because you can recoat Lust in as little as 1 hour at 72 degrees F, ultimately applying up to 5 coats in one day! You can't do that with traditional marine varnishes that require tedious sanding between coats, and that have a thin film build requiring 10 or more coats. There are also marine wood finishes that mimic the look of varnish but are no substitute for the real thing. TotalBoat Lust has a linseed oil modified polyurethane formula for smooth flow-out, and is easy to apply by brushing, rolling, or spraying. Its unique formula also makes Lust flexible when it cures, similar to tung oil varnishes. Flexibility is very important in exterior applications because wood tends to contract and expand with seasonal outdoor temperature and humidity changes. And compared to exterior polyurethane, Lust has stronger UV properties that make it a perfect choice for boat brightwork, teak, household trim, exterior doors, wood sculpture and artwork, and more. Available in a High Gloss Varnish or Matte Varnish finish. Compare to Epifanes Clear Varnish, Wood Finish Matte, Wood Finish Gloss, Pettit Flagship Varnish, Z Spar Captain's Varnish, Minwax Helmsman Spar Urethane, Varathane Spar Varnish, Rust-Oleum Marine Spar Varnish, System Three Clear Marine Spar Urethane Varnish Coating, and Old Masters Spar Marine Varnish. All TotalBoat products provide great value and great results. 100% made in the USA.

  • Varnish That Holds Up
Color: High Gloss Size: Quart
I've had this table and chairs out in the weather for over a year. They look great and haven't been damaged by the heat, cold, rain, birds, or squirrels. This stuff is great, and I'll use it whenever I need some heavy-duty varnish.

  • A rich color, multiple coats a day and the same old adage.. preparation is 90% of the job
Color: High Gloss Size: Gallon
First, I'm an amateur, but I believe in trying your best. 6 years ago I grew so dissatisfied with the builders of my front door and their finish.. I threw caution to the wind and sanded and put 13 coats of Epifanes Clear Varnish on it. It still looks great today but a couple areas are checking and the varnish has cracked. The drawback.. each coat takes a day to cure. So for 2 weeks.. i sanded, vacuumed, tack clothed and then put another coat on. This LUST varnish.. accelerates my projects greatly. I can't speak yet to durability.. but Jamestown who I routinely get my products from wouldn't sell it and you wouldn't have as many happy customers if it failed miserably. So i come to my preparation and what works for me. #1, sand to bare wood and remove all old finish. #2, use west systems special clear epoxy and put on 3 coats. You might wipe your wood with acetone before applying to remove oils, I did before applying to teak. On #2 you might put on 1 coat, then lightly sand then apply 2 more.. with this expoxy you can apply 2, maybe 3 coats in a day without sanding between. #3, sand with 120 grit, blow with a compressor and tack cloth. #4, apply this varish. I used 10% thinning with a high quality mineral spirit. I applied 2 coats via rolling with a foam roller and tipping it with a disposable foam brush. I also sprayed 2 coats with a graco sprayer (again thinned out 10% with mineral spirits). To be honest I think the foam roller is better and that's how I did and will redo my front door. ... show more

  • Excellent
Color: High Gloss Size: Quart
Using this varnish for a wooden bed in a classic truck. Thinning this varnish is a must, I recommend the total boat thinner. Fast drying time between coats is highly efficient.

  • Quick dry
Color: High Gloss Size: Quart
No aligatoring I did 3 coats in one day . However you do need to also buy the brushing thiner if your brushing with it. It slows the dry time so you have time to work with it.

  • Looks great. Will it last?
Color: Matte Size: Quart
I have an outdoor covered kitchen that emulates the kitchen in the house. Needless to say it sure requires maintenance to keep it looking good. In the past I have tried all different varnishes with limited success. They always look good when first applied but give it a year in the Texas elements and they deteriorate. So this time I thought I would try this lust varnish. The kitchen was looking pretty rough. First I sanded it all down, patched, and re-stained it. Next I applied the lust high gloss marine varnish as directed. First I started with a quart of the high gloss. I did three coats with this. First 50% dilution, then 30% dilution, then 20% dilution. I allowed this to dry since I did not have my can of matte finish yet. I have to say it looked great and pretty flawless at this point. I am not a fan of shiny finish so I waited for the can of matte finish to arrive. First I scuffed the surface with 800 grit scuff pads and cleaned it off. This step was a royal pain and I wish I had all the cans available on the same day. The directions state the matte finish can only be used as final coats and high gloss must be the initial coats. I applied the matte fnish at 20% dilution for 2 coats. I was a little horrified because some areas became hazy as opposed to matte. I did thoroughly mix it and mix it as I as working with it. It must have something to do with the flattening agent or the Texas weather. I also noted as time went one it will gel up in the container I was using. I ended up doing an extra undiluted coat on the areas that were hazy that helped with the haze. The final product turned out pretty nice but not perfect. Perhaps a sprayer would have been better. The real test will be if this nice finish lasts in the Texas elements. I have used other marine varnish in the past and they do not hold up. I also never put on five coats of those varnishes. This is definitely a time consuming process, I hope it will be worth it. There is no way you will find a reasonably priced contractor that will be willing to do five coats of this. The previous varnishes I had were applied by paint contractors and sprayed on but only two coats. If you want this much effort it is going to be a DIY job. Only time will tell if it holds up. Also a small can goes a long way considering you have to dilute it. One quart can would be more than enough to have done five coats on this outdoor kitchen, there is another section opposite the grill that is the same length. So I would have saved myself the cost of the extra can if I stuck with the high gloss finish. I may use the left over on my french doors. ... show more
