Product Details

Multi-purpose TotalBoat Special Brushing Thinner 100 improves the flow for solvent-based TotalBoat paints and primers applied by brush or roller. Formulated especially for use with TotalBoat Wet Edge topside paint, TotalGold, TotalTread non-skid paint, and others.

Note: Use Epoxy Primer Thinner 200 with TotalProtect & Aluminum Boat Barrier Coat Primers. Do not use Brushing Thinner 100 with these 2 primers.

Due to its slower drying properties, Thinner 100 improves flow and helps preserve the wet edge, extending the working time in warm weather conditions (over 75°F) when applying TotalBoat Topside Primer or TotalBilge paint by brush or roller.

After painting, use Special Brushing Thinner 100 to clean painting tools and equipment quickly and easily.

Available in Quart and Gallon sizes.

Info & Guides
THINNING NOTES: TotalBoat Spray Thinner 101 can be substituted for Special Brushing Thinner 100 in cool-weather applications, below 60°F, to promote excellent flow, wet edge properties, and faster dry times. In addition, Spray Thinner 101 is the recomended thinner for spray application of most TotalBoat one-part finishes.

Brushing thinner contents
By Johnny from Stuart Fla

Verified Purchase

Product works well with the Total Tread paint. No chemical content printed on container. By law it should be. Most thinners for one part urethane are kerosene and naphtha. I guess marketing is more important than compliance.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Excellent product with 1 liability
By Paul from Oakland CA

Verified Purchase

I sprayed 6 coats of TB Gleam on white oak patio furniture. First was thinned 25% with this solvent. Clean up per coat was via the same. Performance in both tasks was without issue. What you need from a thinner. The gallon can was overkill, a two handed whopper, and plenty left over after spraying 2 gallons poly spar varnish. But a lot of spillage. The can CAN'T control the pour. Expensive stuff if 5-10% ends up wasted. I would buy 2 or more quarts if I could, instead.

Applied with Graco true 360

Yes
By Jim from Ny

Are use the brushing thinner recently on a boat project. Our shop would normally not get involved in but it was a 1956 Chris craft needed. Partial restoration are used to center for brushing and thinning. Total boat gloss varnish worked amazingly well allowing more workable time with the finish

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Paint thinner.
By Minorkey from Pennsylvania

Verified Purchase

Product seems ok, but just so blooming expensive. Should be some way to find out whether it is just plain old fashioned, cheap paint thinner from your local paint store.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

I thinned each gallon of paint with 4 oz. of thinner - stirring until well blended before rolling on. It made the paint glide effortlessly onto my deck,
