Marine Grade Wood Sealer and Primer for Boats

The best way to start any varnish job is to ensure that you apply the varnish to a strong, sealed, smooth, and UV-stable foundation on bare wood. TotalBoat Wood Sealer pre-varnish primer is specifically designed for this purpose. It provides a solid, level foundation for build coats of varnish, promotes good adhesion, and ensures that your varnish finish looks better and lasts longer.

It's no secret that bare wood soaks up varnish like a sponge, with the first coat or two disappearing beneath the surface, sealing wood pores and filling the grain. To prevent your expensive 1-part varnish from vanishing, your first varnishing step should be to apply 2-3 coats of TotalBoat Wood Sealer varnish primer. This allows you to apply your 1-part varnish without thinning it first, so more varnish is available for the finish coats.

This economical, one-part pre-varnish marine wood sealer penetrates deeply to seal and prime all types of bare wood, including plywood and oily woods like teak. It also provides maximum UV protection that extends into the wood fibers to prevent cracking and checking. The clear amber wood sealer emphasizes the wood grain and natural color, and won't muddle the color of marine filler stains applied to bare wood.

Before applying the Wood Sealer, ensure that any stain is completely dry, and test on a small area for compatibility. Apply 2-3 coats of Wood Sealer without sanding between coats, then allow 24 hours of drying time before applying varnish. 1-Part marine varnishes like TotalBoat Lust or Gleam 2.0 can be applied over it without thinning first and without sanding between coats, saving you time and material.

TotalBoat Wood Sealer is compatible with all 1-part varnish products and compares favorably to Interlux Interprime Wood Sealer Clear 1026 and Pettit 2018 EZ Wood Sealer (formerly Old Salem). All TotalBoat products provide great value and excellent results, and are 100% made in the USA.
