TotalBoat Wood Sealer fills and seals wood grain to create a level surface for more consistent finishes. This clear, wood conditioner prevents varnish from being absorbed into the wood, so finish coats build up faster. Use it to seal plywood and oily woods like teak to prevent finish cracking and checking.
Unlike other marine wood sealers, it features UV-inhibiting filters so finishes are protected right down to the wood. Its fast-drying formula doesn't require sanding between coats. TotalBoat Wood Sealer is compatible with all 1-part varnishes.
Available in Quart and Gallon sizes.
NOTE: TotalBoat Wood Sealer is not a finish coating and should be overcoated with 1-part varnish to provide depth, higher gloss, and more complete UV protection. Do not apply 2-part varnishes, 2-part polyurethane paints, or 2-part epoxies over TotalBoat Wood Sealer.
APPLICATION AND USE
Surface Preparation
Bare wood should be clean, dry, and free of grease, oil, or other contaminants. Sand the surface with 220-grit sandpaper in the direction of the grain until completely smooth. Use a vacuum to remove any sanding residue, wipe the surface clean with a lint-free rag dampened with TotalBoat Dewaxer & Surface Prep, and follow immediately by wiping with a clean, dry, lint-free rag.
Application
Before use, stir well—do not shake. TotalBoat Wood Sealer can be brushed, rolled, or sprayed. Apply 2-3 coats, as directed. Oil hardwoods like teak should require only 2 coats, while plywood or porous wood may require 3 coats.
Thinning should not be required, but if desired, use TotalBoat Special Brushing Thinner 100 for brushing/rolling applications, and TotalBoat Spray Thinner 101 for spray applications.

I just tried this out on a canoe paddle project. It was the first time I have used this wood sealer. Many wood sealers state that they are for indoor use. Obviously, needed one designed for both. I got excellent results with polyurethane finish coat.

I have finally found a fast drying wood sealer that dries hard and raises the grain of the wood for the initial sealing and sanding before top coating either with varnish or paint. Very happy with this product.

However I expect it to be excellent just as every other total boat product I have used. I have had my 1965 CC constellation for 9 years now so my experience with total boat stuff is starting to be extensive. I am pleased with everything about these products from the quality to the speed they are shipped. I go to to Total Boat first now to find what I need

Need to sell in larger size. Ended up purchasing an additional 3 quarts due to I was coating cedar which readily absorbed it.
