TotalBoat Halcyon Gloss Marine Varnish

Q: Can this product provide a durable non- yellowing finish in white painted kitchen cabibets? Ive had to strip and refinish them twice in 5 years and g

As a professional painter. the thinner paint film with Halcyon and it's high gloss will show EVERY flaw and defect of the wood grain cabinets. And it may not hold up well to frequent cleanings using normal kitchen and bath cleaning products. Unless you prep the cabinets PERFECTLY it will glaringly show any flaws. Better off using a very high quality Satin, Semi-gloss or hi-gloss kitchen and bath paint (acrylic-not polyurethane) from a reputable paint company like Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams, Pratt and Lambert, etc. You will get a thicker cured paint film that will withstand years of cleaning and be less likely to chip as it retains its' flexibility to expand and contract with temp. changes. These paints are also much more forgiving in covering up flaws in the substrate. Be sure to pre-prime with a sandable primer to get a flawless finish prior to top coating. After priming, sand carefully with 220 to 400 grit and wipe thoroughly with damp microfiber cloth to remove sanding dust. Stay away from any product that claims to be primer and paint in one. Use a high quality mini 1 inch diam x 4 inch wide roller (fiber cover..NOT FOAM) and high quality brush (Purdy or Wooster). Can also spray finish but remember meticulous prime coat and prep sanding are the key to any perfect top coat result.

Q: How do you remove this product, it's peeling on my wood bench?

I use Bix to strip it off when it peels.

Q: Can I use this as a top coat for total boat makerpoxy? Used the makerpoxy for an exterior bar top.

I'm confident that it can be applied, but don't know if it the best product. You should contact TotalBoat.

Q: can you apply this over oil-based stains?

Hello, generally speaking yes, but it is always a good idea to do a small test area first to make sure there are no compatibility issues. Make sure the stain is fully cured before overcoating. One stain we do know there are issues with is the Minwax brand. You cannot overcoat this stain with any varnish because of the wax it contains, that prevents anything from adhering to it properly. Thank you.

TotalBoat Halcyon Clear Marine Gloss Varnish creates a clear, classic gloss finish on wood. This one-part finish requires no mixing or measuring. Just pour it out of the bag and it's ready to use. Whether applied by brush, roller, or spray, Halcyon's forgiving, water-based formula flows smoothly, lays down evenly, and dries fast so you can finish varnishing in hours. No more long drying times or bad fumes. Recoat in as little as 1 hour, and apply up to 5 coats in 1 day without tedious sanding between coats. When you're done, cleanup is easy with just soap and water.Besides the nice gloss, hard yet flexible finish, UV protection, abrasion resistance, and durability, one of the best things about Halcyon is its eco-friendly, user-friendly formula. It has almost no odor, and an extremely low VOC rating of less than 75 grams per Liter. This greatly limits your exposure to harmful volatile organic compounds, for a safer and healthier work environment, making it ideal for indoor or shop use, or for varnishing interiors. With its milky-white color, TotalBoat Halcyon looks a little different right out of the bag, but it cures clear and won't discolor light wood or muddy the grain of darker woods. In fact, the more coats you apply, the greater the clarity, depth, and gloss. Unique Pour PakTM bag makes Halcyon easy to pour,& prevents messy drips. It's also resealable, so Halcyon won't skin over in the bag, and nothing gets wasted.Compare to Pettit Sea Gold, Sikkens Cetol Marine, Epifanes Rapid Clear, Rapid Coat, and other marine wood finishes.
