Description

TotalBoat Special Brushing Thinner 100 is designed to be used with TotalBoat marine paints and primers. It improves flow for solvent-based TotalBoat paints applied by brush or roller. Use with TotalBoat Wet Edge topside paint, TotalGold, TotalTread non-skid paint, Underdog, KeelHauler, Spartan, Krypton, AlumiPaint AF, and Outdrive AF bottom paints. Note: we recommend using TotalBoat Epoxy Thinner 200 with TotalProtect Barrier Coat Primer and Aluminum Boat Carrier Coat. Slower drying properties allow Thinner 100 to provide improved flow and preserve the wet edge. This is an important consideration when painting in warm weather (over 75 F). Thinner 100 may also be used to clean painting tools and equipment quickly and easily. Thinner 100 is available in quarts and gallons. Compare to Interlux Brushing Liquid 333, and Pettit paint thinners. All TotalBoat marine products are developed by boaters for boaters, to provide great value and great results.

  • It is thinner
Size: 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Easy to use and works. And stinks. It's thinner after all. Wear a protective canister mask that's rated for this purpose. I used it for thinning the stain and the first coats of Total Boat varnish, which specifically calls for this thinner.

  • Works as advertized
Size: 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I was going to to spray Total Boat Gleam 2.0 on some high end canoe paddles. SoCal's AQMD prevent me from doing so, so brush it was. After prepping the paddles by sanding and cleaning up the dust, I applied Gleam, thinning with this thinner 50/50 for the first coat. The second coat was diluted 90/10 Gleam to SBT. The following 4 coats were straight Gleam. WOW! These paddles look as good as or better than the day I bought them. I was so impressed with the results, I used this on my front and a side door, as well as a piece of furniture. I'm restoring a Hammond Organ from 1927 that sounds great. I just ordered more Gleam for this project. The finished look is some of the best I've seen. If you're spending your hard earned money on a top of the line product, do it right and enjoy your handiwork for years. ... show more

The thinner seems to work fine not just as a varnish thinner but as a cleaning solvent before you varnish The best part is that total boat has a line you may call to talk to a human when you have questions they seem to bend over backwards to help -it is on this basis that businesses prosper and where I spend my money ... show more

  • Why risk all the time and materials by using other thinners ?
Size: 128 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
If you’re using the compatible finishes, its a must-have, otherwise why invest all the labor and other costs and risk early failure. Thins out Gleam2 at 25% for smooth first few coats, Outdoors so odor not an issue. Hoping the investment over paint thinner will give a durable and high quality finish. Still need to sand next day to add more layers if you want it smooth ... show more
