CrabCoat Exterior Waterbased Marine Finish Clear Gloss (1 Quart)

It’s water based and safer than nitro. Brushing on does require a lot of sanding. Buffs out nicely.

This is such a great solution to not using resin! I love it and it does not chip except on kato. You have to dehydrate the surface first.

By far the best water base clear I have ever used. No milky look. Dryer’s crystal clear and cures super hard. I use it on all my guitar builds. No toxic fumes, cleans up with water.

This stuff dries hard and crystal clear.BUT - it is best used at 76F or less lest it not level properly, meaning you can see small bubbles and brush tracks.The solution is you have to buy their reducer for use at higher temperatures and it does indeed help.Also you should use their conditioner to clean and prep the surface as anything else may react.Save yourself some grief and just order the reducer and conditioner at the same time. The good news is they are not a lot more. I wish they'd just make a version with the conditioner built in since most of us will be at a temperature higher than 76F.Then you also need to let it cure for 30 days before final sanding and polishing. Non-negotiable as it will be soft and mess up that extremely glossy and pretty as all getout finish.That is the best part about this stuff. It's drop dead gorgeous for a gloss finish. I imagine the matte is every bit as good.

I love this product and love the fact it’s not toxic
