## 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: Perfect for outdoor wood bar! - We bought this for a wood counter top bar on our lake pier. This stuff is great! We sanded and cleaned the top. We then applied the gleam varnish with a little sponge roller and let it dry. We sanded again then applied another coat and repeated one more time. This stuff is amazing. The bar is so shiny and slick. It protects it from the sun and rain. It is so easy to clean and wipe off any dirt or spilled substance. If you are looking to protect wood outside whether it is tables, bars or chairs, you will love this. There are some videos on youtube that will show you exactly how to apply it if you search. We are very happy with it.
Review: Best Varnish I’ve ever tried! - I’m so impressed with Gleam! I used it to finish our front door and I wanted a product that’s easy to apply, quick to dry, and looks great. I followed the instructions that in order to get a good satin finish, you start with gloss and add satin at the end. I applied the first coat thinned with the TB thinner and did a flood coat with gloss. I applied the finish with a foam roller and tipped it off with a foam brush. The door got 6 coats of gloss (1.5 cans) which made it so reflective I could see my face in it! I then scuff sanded, cleaned, and applied 2 coats of satin which gave me a great sheen. I was impressed with how smooth it went on. It flattens out nicely, and was easy to apply.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smooth
*by A***G on March 14, 2020*

I've used a lot of varnish -- both marine grade and standard outdoor varieties including Helmsman and Eplfanes. All have their advantages and disadvantages. However, I've never used one as nice as Gleam. This stuff is amazing. First, it's perfectly thinned right out of the can -- making it glide on so smoothly, you'll wonder if it's really varnish. The first 2 coats soaked nicely into the wood (deck railings / banisters). The third coat was where I noticed the most advantage over the others. It flowed onto the wood extremely smoothly without any brush tugging (waited until dry to the touch - about 4 hours at 66 degrees) and it stayed put - didn't run or begin to sag on vertical surfaces. But wait -- there's more. I just finished the fourth coat and using a natural bristle wood stains and finishes brush - it went down extremely smooth -- the bush glided along the wood like it was lubricated and still - at half the quart used -- it still needed no thinning. It was perfect. It was how the varnish glided so evenly onto the finish that impressed me so very much. Now, with all this said, I plan to put on two more coats and let it cure for several days (in the basement shop) before re-installing onto the deck. We'll see how it stands up to sun, rain and snow over the next year. Other finishes have only lasted 1-2 years. While I don't expect this finish to last more than 2 years, I certainly won't mind re-finishing once again with this GLEAM for it's excellent application qualities. Good stuff!
