## Overview

TotalBoat Gleam Marine Spar Varnish is a premium tung oil and phenolic resin formula designed for interior and exterior wood surfaces. It offers superior UV resistance, flexibility to prevent cracking, and a fast-drying, self-leveling finish available in satin or gloss. Ideal for boats, outdoor furniture, and more, it covers 360-400 sq ft per gallon and allows multiple coats in one day, delivering a durable, transparent amber finish that withstands harsh weather and seasonal changes.

## Description

TotalBoat Gleam is a classic style marine spar varnish that not only withstands the rigors of life at sea, it also makes the ideal wood varnish and wood sealer for all of your outdoor wood furniture, bar tops, tiki bars, picnic tables, patio tables, Adirondack chairs, antique wooden truck beds and more. This high-quality tung oil and phenolic resin formula contains UV inhibitors that provide lasting beauty, and a durable finish that expands and contracts with seasonal temperature changes to prevent chipping, cracking, and peeling. Use Gleam on interior and exterior wood for a tough, waterproof, marine polyurethane finish that won't fade. It's improved formula flows better, won’t leave brush marks, and has better overcoating & cure times, making it easy to get great results. Each coat provides medium build with excellent flow-out. You'll love how it flows off the brush and self-levels, leaving a smooth durable surface. Gleam gives all wood surfaces a radiant, transparent, warm amber hue in gloss or satin (matte) finish. For a high gloss varnish finish, apply 4-6 coats of Gleam Gloss. For a sleek satin finish, build with coats of the Gleam gloss varnish, and apply Gleam Satin for the final 1-2 coats. Whichever formula you choose, you’ll appreciate that Gleam’s improved formula allows you to scuff and apply additional coats quicker than ever because you can recoat in 1 hr. at 72 degrees F, and apply up to 3 coats in 1 day.

Review: Easy to use, looks great! - I used this on a couple live edge pine slabs for my dock bar. The stuff looks great & dried quickly for spar varnish. I brushed on 3 coats. It looked great, but a few hours later I notice one area w/brush marks & a couple that had almost a puddle, like it was too much in those areas. It seemed nice & dry so I took some sand paper & sanded those areas. All of those sanded areas sanded well. The product “talc-ed” up while sanding & didn’t load up the sandpaper with sticky fresh paint sometimes does. When paint is dry it dusts/talcs, if it’s not dry enough it’s gummy. This sanded well within 6 hours @ 90 degrees. Anyways, I wanted to apply another coat that evening so I brushed it on. An hour later I checked on it & was pissed to find everywhere I sanded it, the last coat wrinkled. Apparently, sanding the outer surface opened up the inner layer, which wasn’t quite as dry. The application of more varnish confused the inner that wasn’t as cured/dried & attacked it, wrinkling it. So I let it set for 24 hours, & then really sanded all the wrinkled areas with a DA sander w/150G, then 320G on the entire surface. Then I gave up on the brushing method & since I’ve got some nice spray guns from my auto body biz, I sprayed. Apllied more coats of Gleam, waiting a couple hours in between @ 95 degrees. Couldn’t be happier with the results. I don’t know why I tried brushing it. You’ve got so much more control with the gun. You do have to reduce it about 10-20% with xylene, which in California is thought to find, however Klean Strip makes a replacement product called Painters Solvent. It worked great.
Review: It’s durable and shiny. - A good, durable finish. Total Boat Gleam Satin is very glossy. I used it on the front door of my house, which is somewhat protected from the weather and after two years it looks like it did the day it was applied. I recommend it for a durable shiny finish.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use, looks great!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It’s durable and shiny.
*by L***. on August 7, 2026*

A good, durable finish. Total Boat Gleam Satin is very glossy. I used it on the front door of my house, which is somewhat protected from the weather and after two years it looks like it did the day it was applied. I recommend it for a durable shiny finish.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Has become my go-to teak varnish
*by R***N on June 22, 2025*

I purchased both the gloss and satin versions of this same varnish. I use in on teak in a marine environment. I am very pleased with it as it does not require thinning and applies very well. I used a foam brush, and I was very pleased with the results. You do not have to sand between coats, but I did use a scrub pad between coats. I poured out only what I needed for each coat. I did not experience any issues with runs or other defects. I do wish that satin version had a bit less gloss than it does. I'm very pleased, and both products will be my go-to varnishes in the future.
