Product Details
TotalBoat Wet Edge is a one-part, high-gloss polyurethane topside finish. This thick, rich topside paint is easy to apply and has excellent coverage characteristics. Advanced UV stabilizers ensure high gloss and color retention. Choose from 22 popular colors in quarts or gallons.
Wet Edge is easy to clean, resists staining, & has incredible abrasion resistance. Our unique urethane formula provides superior adhesion and flexibility, allowing the natural expansion and contraction of your boat's hull without causing the finish to lift or crack. Elasticity provides longer life and increased durability over leading marine one-part enamels.
Brush, roll & tip, or spray on fiberglass, wood, or previously painted surfaces above the waterline. For best results, prepare surfaces with TotalBoat Topside Primer.
Select colors are now available in pints, perfect for boot stripes.

Info & Guides
IMPORTANT APPLICATION INFORMATION!
TotalBoat Wet Edge should only be rolled with a solvent safe 1/8" foam roller, designed for leaving glossy surfaces without any stipple or lint. This includes products such as ArroWorthy Mighty Mini rollers, or foam rollers that fit on regular paint roller frames.
Nap rollers: We do not recommend using nap rollers to apply Wet Edge, as they will leave small hairs as well as a stippled effect in the paint that will stand out once it cures, and will generally lay down too much paint for a proper cure.
TotalBoat Wet Edge Topside Paint is not designed for continuous submersion on boat bottoms that remain in the water longer than 72 hours.

Not a workable paint
a month ago
Dry / cure times are way too long. Thinned and sprayed with 101 as per directions and gun pressure. Hard to keep a wet edge and wet coat . A lot of stippling and orange peel low shine . Sanded between coats then went heavier got the coverage and shine plus unwanted sags and runs waited 2 days to sand wasn’t enough time . Had to wait another 2 days . Sanded again and tried roll and tip it was worse won’t lay down now waiting again it’s not workable or very forgiving now I got to buy another quart to finish

Dented Cans!
11 months ago
The cans were so dented that I cant have them shaken and can hardly open then. I'm really surprised they were not leaking in the box. Can't blame the shipping company because the boxes they were in were not damaged at all. I don't think I'll be using Total Boat products again. Just hope I can get this project finished.

Excellent Topside Paint
11 months ago
This is the 2nd year I've used Wet Edge Topside Paint on my Chesapeake Light Craft Peeler Skiff and I could not be more pleased. It is easy to apply with both brush and roller, covers well, and looks great. It is also extraordinarily self-leveling. I was also grateful for the convenient ordering and prompt delivery from Jamestown Distributers.

Great product!
a year ago
I refurbish skiffs. And until now, I've never purchased a product that didn't dissapoint. But! Now that I'm using the Wet Edge paints, the painting results have been remarkable. The white products aren't infused with blue or red undertones, as they are with other paint brands, and FINALLY after decades of searching, white is now white. Finally. It's not blue white. Or red white. Or pink white, or purple white. Its Just white. An absolutely amazing concept. It makes so much sense, I'm almost woozy!

I have used TotalBoat Wet Edge topside paint before and had excellent results. If you leave it on a few days it really hardens up! I've found if I thin it with their Special Brushing thinner 100 you can great looking smooth high gloss results with a good brush.

This paint brushes on and flows wonderfully. Virtually every brush stroke disappears leaving a glass like Finish. I hope they offer more color choices in the future.

Q: Using this to repaint a pool slide, if I've lightly sanded the slide? Do I absolutely need a primer or can I just coat with the topside?
a year ago1 Answer
A: Hi there, in order for us to give the best advice possible, please send us an email at info@totalboat.com so that we can get more details about your project. A few details about Wet Edge; this paint is intended for above the waterline, so the slide should not be submerged. If the slide has been previously painted, and the paint is still in good condition, you do not need to prime. If it is bare fiberglass or if the previous paint is chipping, I recommend sanding and priming first.

Q: Hi, I am refinishing my sabot sailboat. I am planning on using wet edge inside and on the outside of the hull as well. My concern is the gloss finish. Can you recommend a roller type to use to prevent stroke lines?
a year ago1 Answer
A: Hi there, I recommend using an 1/8in nap foam roller and also adding 5-10% brush thinner to the paint in order to enhance the flow. Using a roll tip method with a brush also helps prevent stroke lines.

Q: I need to paint the top side of the hull (not deck) of a Com-Pac Sun Cat Sailboat out in the open air in a boat yard. I plan on doing a good prep job (sanding the gelcoat on the entire hull, fixing scratches and cleaning off old wax, etc), and then rolling the Wet Edge on with several light coats without tipping it with a brush. I've done several boats with an enamel finish and I was able to use this method, followed by lightly wet-sanding-out roller paint lines and bits of air-born stuff that gets stuck in the paint in the open air between coats . I then used a series of 3M compound light liquid abrasives and polishes to machine buff/polish the finish to a smooth high gloss shine. Will this method work with Total Boat Wet Edge Polyurethane Paint?
a year ago1 Answer
A: While it is possible to do that with a urethane paint, the general consensus is that it will shorten its lifespan. I find that if you roll the paint out thin enough, it levels off very nicely without tipping. Just keep working it out until the roller lines disappear. There will be some orange peel but the paint shrinks as it cures and stretches it smooth (it takes some practice). I find that light dust/pollen/bugs wash off with time.

Q: Can wet edge be used under the waterline if applied over total protect epoxy primer & barrier coat?
a year ago1 Answer
A: Hi Ryan. If the boat does not spend more than 24 hours in the water at any given time, then yes. If it is left in the water for longer than that, Wet Edge would not be suitable.

A: Hey Roger. It is close, but not exact. Unfortunately two different paints will never quite match without custom tinting, which Awlgrip offers but we do not.

Q: I have a 13 ft Boston whaler a couple of owners ago someone put a very rough paint or truck bed material on inside of boat. I would like to use topside paint on it but, as your best guess what kind of prep would it need. It is far too rough to sand. The previous owner thought a smooth truck bed paint may have been used to cover original inside of boat. I would appreciate your assistance. Thanks glenn
a year ago2 Answers
A: I don't think TotalBoat, Wet Edge would be the right product for this application. It's a beautiful finish coat. First, in a spot where it can't easily be seen, try a little heat (heat gun) and a sharp scraper to see if you can better get back to the bear fiberglass. Go easy! The ""paint?"" comes off relatively easily, then you know what you've got. If it's ""Rhino Liner"" or an equivalent, just live with it. If it's bear fiberglass next steps are both easy and well documented.. Either way, TotalBoat makes all kinds of products that would not only save the Whaler, but enhance its value. The Tech and Sales folks are far better then me at knowing which product is best. I trust them - Paul
