TotalBoat Lust Marine Varnish: High Gloss and Matte Finish for Wood, Boats, Outdoor Furniture (Quart)

Lust is the groundbreaking one-part marine spar varnish that revolutionizes the way you finish varnish projects. With the ability to apply multiple coats within a single day—without the need for sanding between applications—Lust facilitates a significantly faster finishing process. When cured, it develops a warm, clear amber hue that can be achieved in both high gloss and matte finishes, enhancing the aesthetics of a diverse range of wood surfaces, from marine brightwork like teak to household items such as cabinets, doors, outdoor furniture, and tabletops.

One of the standout features of Lust is its quick recoating capability; you can apply additional coats as soon as one hour after the initial application at 72 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing for the possible application of up to five coats in a single day. This efficiency starkly contrasts with traditional marine varnishes that often require tedious sanding between coats and can necessitate ten or more applications to achieve a sufficient film build. While there are wooden finishes that simulate varnish, they simply cannot match the authenticity of Lust.

The linseed oil modified polyurethane formula in Lust promotes a smooth application process, whether brushing, rolling, or spraying. Its specially designed composition also grants it flexibility as it cures, similar to tung oil varnishes. This flexibility is crucial for outdoor applications, as it accommodates the natural expansion and contraction of wood with varying seasonal temperatures and humidity levels. Unlike many exterior polyurethanes, Lust boasts enhanced UV protection, making it an ideal selection for a range of applications, including brightwork on boats, outdoor sculptures and artwork, and various household trim.

Lust is available in both High Gloss and Matte finishes, catering to different aesthetic preferences. When compared with other popular brands like Epifanes Clear Varnish, Pettit Flagship Varnish, and Minwax Helmsman Spar Urethane, Lust stands out by providing exceptional value and results—all while being 100% made in the USA.

MARINE GRADE VARNISH from Lust enriches the wood grain with its clear amber tone while offering a durable, UV-resistant, and waterproof finish that resists fading. It is particularly suitable for both interior and exterior wood applications, including brightwork on boats and outdoor furniture.

This innovative varnish features a classic spar varnish formula with a modern twist: its high-build, fast-drying characteristics allow for rapid recoating, enabling multiple coats within a day without the hassle of sanding in between (a light sanding before the final coat is recommended). Plus, it provides a rugged finish that remains intact even as wood undergoes temperature-related expansion and contraction.

Applying Lust is straightforward, whether you choose to brush, roll, or spray. For those looking for a stunning high gloss finish, layering 6 to 8 coats of Lust Gloss will yield impressive results, and a perfectly smooth satin finish can be achieved by gradually building with Lust Gloss Varnish. Alternatively, Lust Matte can be utilized for final coats.

Available in Pint, Quart, and Gallon sizes, you can also enhance your application with TotalBoat Special Brushing Thinner 100 or TotalBoat Spray Thinner 101 as needed. Coverage is impressive, with each gallon covering approximately 360 to 400 square feet.
