## Overview

TotalBoat Lust Marine Varnish is a premium, oil-based polyurethane varnish designed for marine and household wood surfaces. It offers a rich amber tone with durable, UV-resistant protection that flexes with wood movement. Its fast-drying formula allows multiple coats in a single day without sanding, available in high gloss or matte finishes, making it ideal for boat brightwork, outdoor furniture, and interior woodwork. Made in the USA and trusted by professionals and DIYers alike.

## Description

Lust is the first true one-part marine spar varnish that allows multiple coats in one day, without sanding between coats, so you can finish any varnish job faster. It cures to a warm, rich, clear amber tone with a high gloss or matte finish that looks spectacular on all types of interior and exterior marine and household wood, including teak brightwork, toe rails, hand rails, trim, doors, cabinets, outdoor patio furniture, bar tops, tabletops, and more. This marine varnish is truly an exciting innovation because you can recoat Lust in as little as 1 hour at 72 degrees F, ultimately applying up to 5 coats in one day! You can't do that with traditional marine varnishes that require tedious sanding between coats, and that have a thin film build requiring 10 or more coats. There are also marine wood finishes that mimic the look of varnish but are no substitute for the real thing. TotalBoat Lust has a linseed oil modified polyurethane formula for smooth flow-out, and is easy to apply by brushing, rolling, or spraying. Its unique formula also makes Lust flexible when it cures, similar to tung oil varnishes. Flexibility is very important in exterior applications because wood tends to contract and expand with seasonal outdoor temperature and humidity changes. And compared to exterior polyurethane, Lust has stronger UV properties that make it a perfect choice for boat brightwork, teak, household trim, exterior doors, wood sculpture and artwork, and more. Available in a High Gloss Varnish or Matte Varnish finish. Compare to Epifanes Clear Varnish, Wood Finish Matte, Wood Finish Gloss, Pettit Flagship Varnish, Z Spar Captain's Varnish, Minwax Helmsman Spar Urethane, Rust-Oleum Marine Spar Varnish, System Three Clear Marine Spar Urethane Varnish Coating, Old Masters Spar Marine Varnish, and McCloskey Man O' War Marine Spar Varnish. All TotalBoat products are developed for boaters by boaters, to provide great value and great results. 100% made in the USA.

Review: I have an outdoor covered kitchen that emulates the kitchen in the house. Needless to say it sure requires maintenance to keep it looking good. In the past I have tried all different varnishes with limited success. They always look good when first applied but give it a year in the Texas elements and they deteriorate. So this time I thought I would try this lust varnish. The kitchen was looking pretty rough. First I sanded it all down, patched, and re-stained it. Next I applied the lust high gloss marine varnish as directed. First I started with a quart of the high gloss. I did three coats with this. First 50% dilution, then 30% dilution, then 20% dilution. I allowed this to dry since I did not have my can of matte finish yet. I have to say it looked great and pretty flawless at this point. I am not a fan of shiny finish so I waited for the can of matte finish to arrive. First I scuffed the surface with 800 grit scuff pads and cleaned it off. This step was a royal pain and I wish I had all the cans available on the same day. The directions state the matte finish can only be used as final coats and high gloss must be the initial coats. I applied the matte fnish at 20% dilution for 2 coats. I was a little horrified because some areas became hazy as opposed to matte. I did thoroughly mix it and mix it as I as working with it. It must have something to do with the flattening agent or the Texas weather. I also noted as time went one it will gel up in the container I was using. I ended up doing an extra undiluted coat on the areas that were hazy that helped with the haze. The final product turned out pretty nice but not perfect. Perhaps a sprayer would have been better. The real test will be if this nice finish lasts in the Texas elements. I have used other marine varnish in the past and they do not hold up. I also never put on five coats of those varnishes. This is definitely a time consuming process, I hope it will be worth it. There is no way you will find a reasonably priced contractor that will be willing to do five coats of this. The previous varnishes I had were applied by paint contractors and sprayed on but only two coats. If you want this much effort it is going to be a DIY job. Only time will tell if it holds up. Also a small can goes a long way considering you have to dilute it. One quart can would be more than enough to have done five coats on this outdoor kitchen, there is another section opposite the grill that is the same length. So I would have saved myself the cost of the extra can if I stuck with the high gloss finish. I may use the left over on my french doors.
Review: Matte finish exterior varnish is pretty rare and this brand lets you know by charging $50 a quart. I’ve worked as a professional finisher and have lots of experience applying fast dry, oil based finishes. I used mineral spirits to thin the varnish in order to suspend drying time to brush onto 8’ boards without tacking. I often use a technique of applying several coats of gloss varnish followed by a couple of coats of flat, matte or satin varnish. The first coat I applied over gloss went blotchy and will take one or two more coats to achieve the desired results. it appears that the matte finish will be more like satin or semi-gloss. The true test will be to see how well the finish holds up under a blistering, Mississippi sun.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the matte finish truly matte or does it have some degree of sheen?**
A: Good Afternoon, this is a true matte finish, you do need to stir thoroughly to mix the flattening agent. Thank you.

**Q: Can I use mineral spirits to thin for brush application instead of xylene? I read that it's thick and I have mineral spirits on hand.**
A: I used mineral spirits with no problem, dry time was slightly longer but no noticeable issues in my opinion (I am not a professional or the producer)

**Q: Has anyone used this on exterior log posts on a log home?  Will it peel off later?**
A: I have used this product on a wood cabinet on a boat. I placed 8 coats of this varnish on the cabinet. The varnish is holding up very well. It is not peeling during the last 3 months.

**Q: How well would it cover dry oil paint?**
A: I don't know.  I think the condition of the paint would matter.  Smooth, rough, cracked, peeling.  I would contact the manufacturer customer service.  I had some questions when doing my project and found them very helpful.  I put the varnish on over their marine epoxy, which was over oil paint and had no trouble with it.  Again, their customer service is a better source of info.

To be honest I’m not so impressed with this stuff. I used it to seal an out door oak table .. Put on sealer first , then 3 coats of high gloss filled by 3 coats of matt . Has been out in the elements in upstate ny and already it is wearing off in spots .. Some people swear by this stuff but personally I wouldn’t use it again .
