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 21 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 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.

can you you this paint below water line after epoxy primer ? keeping the boat on trailer . if yes how long can the boat stay in water , if no whats another type of paint or brand can you use for below water line ? i want the gloss finish doesnt want to use bottom paint , thanks
tommy
Yes, but the boat should not stay in the water more than two days. Bear in mind that if you have carpeted bunks on the trailer moisture trapped between the bunk and the hull can cause problems. Two part paints typically last longer than one part paints. Epifanes or Quantum two-part paints would be worth considering. Interlux makes a product called VC performance epoxy which can be burnished to a semigloss finish. It is available in white.
Paul
Just had my boat sprayed and unfortunately there was a few overruns. How long should I wait to sand and buff those areas? if a need touch ups can I use Xylene doing a roller and tip or should I spray it again?
cadeco
You'll have to wait 8 to 16 hours, depending on temperature. If the overruns are thick they may take longer to cure. Wet edge can not be buffed so you will most likely have to sand and recoat.
Paul
My boat has never been painted, can I just sand the gelcoat and apply the wet edge?
cadeco
Yes you can. Remove all surface contaminants. Wipe down the surface with TotalBoat Dewaxer and Surface Prep. Abbrade the surface lightly with a scotchbrite pad and wipe clean with TotalBoat TB 100. If the base color of the gelcoat is not consistent you may want to consider priming so the contrasting colors don't show through.

The last paint application on my 36' sailboat was Alexseal. I didn't see anything specific re: applying Wet Edge over this type of paint - can you comment on what is required, or point me to a resource that will detail it? Thanks.
Peter
You will need to apply TotalBoat Topside Primer prior to applying Wet edge. You'll want to follow the instructions for previously painted surfaces.Here's a link to the primer instructions: https://doc.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/pdfs/TotalBoat/TotalBoat_Topside_Primer_TDS_11.6.18.pdfHere's a link to the Wet Edge instructions: https://doc.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/pdfs/TotalBoat/TotalBoat_Wet_Edge_Topside_Paint_3.7.17_TDS.pdf

Hello can you tell me how your hatteras off white compares to interlux brightside? I like the idea of buying a gallon instead of 4 gts. Also wondering if the tan beige for non skid is close to Hatteras off white.
Todd
Comparing actual samples of TotalBoat Hatteras Off White to color chips of Interlux Y4208 Hatteras Off White, it is a nearly identical match. TotalBoat TotalTread Beige is nearly identical to Interlux Interdeck Sand Beige.
Paul
What's the correct process to spray Wet Edge Topside Paint? What type of spray gun is needed?
Jonathan
When spraying, thin with xylene (thinning percentage varies by the sprayer andconditions, typically 15-20%). Do not apply paint too thickly or proper drying will not occur.A pressure pot or HVLP sprayer will work.
Richard
Is it possible to add a flattening agent to the gloss paint (in particular the Off-White} to achieve a semi-gloss or satin finish?
Trisailor
Yes, you can add Interlux single part paint flattening agent to this.
Richard
Can I use Total Protect Epoxy Primer as the Primer for this paint
Ty
Yes, it can be used both above and below the waterline.
Richard
I'm looking at a Total Boat Wet Edge color chart. I also have a Quantum 99 color chart. I notice both have Aqua Mist, Oyster White and Flag Blue. Both also show Kingston Grey and Whaler Blue.Is this coincidence or are the Wet Edge colors based on and/or matched to the Quantium colors?The reason I ask is the Wet Edge color chart is printed and the Quantium chart are actual paint "chips" and in the sunlight the colors are slightly different. I'm thinking that if the Wet Edge is actually matched to the Quantium colors the Quantium chart my be a "truer "representation of the actual color as they are chips, not printed. Could this be the case?Thanks,robj
Rob
All but the Whaler Blue are real close to the actual color in the Wet Edge to the Quantum color chart. The Quantum Whaler Blue in Quantum is a little bluer than the Wet Edge.
Richard
I'm sorry about this but I didn't state my question correctly the other day. I had asked: ""I used TotalBoat Fairing compound and now plan to apply TotalBoat Topside Primer and Wet Edge. Not sure what amine bush is but I take it that the cured fairing compound will have it? How to I prep bare, cured fairing for primer and final coats?"What I MEANT to say was "amine BLUSH", not BUSH. I'm so embarrassed! Somebody mentioned that when the Total Fair cures, it will have a surface that has "amine blush" and that I need to take care of it by thoroughly washing with pads and soap prior to priming and painting. Is this true? Do I sand the cured TF first, then wash it prior to primer?Thanks.Jim
Jim
Amine blush is generated as an epoxy cures, and is sort of waxy, so paintsetc. will not adhere well.Just wash it as recommended. It is pretty standard to find this.

Paint is very thick, even thinned at 10% with the inflated price of the "special brushing thinner" this paint runs, skins over way to fast, and is impossible to keep a "wet" edge... The paint going on so thick caused it to cure slow and become very soft. I can scratch the paint with a fingernail... I followed instructions exactly and consider myself a professional boat builder. the color and paint looks great but i won't be using it ever again. 2 years of building my work skiff to finish it with some poor quality paint.

I'm restoring my late aunt and uncle's 50 yr old Columbia 23. Used Totalboat primer and wet edge topside paint on the hull and topside. Used Totalboat anti skid on walking areas of the deck. Thinned with Totalboat brushing thinner and rolled the paint on using cabinet grade finish rollers.

Great Gloss & easy to use.

We just rolled and tiped our 36' Grand Banks Woodie, and the results were truely spectacular. We were careful not to add to much 100 thinner and the white paint flowed out so nicely that we almost didn't have to tip it. Great Stuff, sure e nough!

I really like the paint. I mistakenly used a NAP roller, which tends to put it on a bit too heavy but I continued to work quickly to push it out to the dry edge. Optimally running a thing coat with someone tipping behind you is the best method but I didn't have that convenience. Overall, I am restoring a 1989 Alumacraft and she really looks good.

Transom job on an old 1965 skiff. Faired the transom and hull with Total Fair. Used the Totalboat Primer and Largo Blue Wet Edge topside paint. Flows out very well with just a roller and minimal tipping. I will definitely use the Total Boat products on my next project.

Paint (when properly thinned and applied) lays down beautifully and leaves a very respectable finish from an average skill level DIY kinda person. Buy with confidence and prep with care, you'll be glad you did.

I used this to paint the hull above the waterline of my Columbia 23. Thinned paint with totalboat brushing thinner. Used a 6 inch foam roller for cabinets since I could not roll and tip due to the heat. Paint went on smoothly and dried to a hard glossy finish.
