TotalBoat グリームスパーワニス

I just used the product a few days ago, so I have no idea about durability, obviously. What is clear, though, is that the product is indeed recoatable within hours (and not tacky for days and days like traditional spar varnishes, attracting all kind of stuff and dust in the process). The ‘glossiness’ of the Gloss variant is outstanding as well and the enhancing effect on the wood’s appearance is very convincing. I applied the varnish with a foam roll and immediately eliminated the unavoidable bubbles with a soft brush. The varnish being not overly thick-flowing, this worked very well and resulted in a thin, very even coat (which is good, thick varnish coats are not a good idea, by experience). Be prepared, therefore, to apply the recommended 4-6 coats… To be noted: I have used the Satin version as well (bought on Amazon like the Gloss). The effect is different, but good as well. Be aware, though, that for some reason, this variant dries very quickly. So you have to be very fast in order to avoid brush marks! One last remark: while the product dries indeed very quickly, it stays fairly soft for several days until it completely cures.

I’m so impressed with Gleam! I used it to finish our front door and I wanted a product that’s easy to apply, quick to dry, and looks great. I followed the instructions that in order to get a good satin finish, you start with gloss and add satin at the end. I applied the first coat thinned with the TB thinner and did a flood coat with gloss. I applied the finish with a foam roller and tipped it off with a foam brush. The door got 6 coats of gloss (1.5 cans) which made it so reflective I could see my face in it! I then scuff sanded, cleaned, and applied 2 coats of satin which gave me a great sheen. I was impressed with how smooth it went on. It flattens out nicely, and was easy to apply.

Used to finish sauna on deck at beach. Went a long way. Dried clear. No long lasting smell. Looked great! Water resistant.

I have been looking for an easy-use outdoor varnish for a while now and came upon this one. What I love the most about this varnish is it's self-leveling, dries in 2 hours which is a plus in my book, has a beautiful glossy finish, easy to sand and durable to the outdoor environment. Only dislike I have is the can it comes in, after many use the cover doesn't fit properly because of the old dried-up residue from before, so it's difficult to get a proper seal on the lid. I think a plastic container would be best instead of a metal can.

First time user. Very good result with ox hair brush on outdoor large wicker chairs and footrest.
