It offers superior UV protection, flexibility to prevent cracking, and a fast-drying, self-leveling formula that delivers a stunning amber gloss or satin finish. Ideal for boats, outdoor furniture, and wood surfaces exposed to harsh weather, it covers 360-400 sq ft per gallon and recoats in just 1 hour, making it the go-to choice for professionals and enthusiasts seeking long-lasting beauty and protection. ## Description TotalBoat Gleam is a classic style marine spar varnish that not only withstands the rigors of life at sea, it also makes the ideal wood varnish and wood sealer for all of your outdoor wood furniture, bar tops, tiki bars, picnic tables, patio tables, Adirondack chairs, antique wooden truck beds and more. This high-quality tung oil and phenolic resin formula contains UV inhibitors that provide lasting beauty, and a durable finish that expands and contracts with seasonal temperature changes to prevent chipping, cracking, and peeling. Use Gleam on interior and exterior wood for a tough, waterproof, marine polyurethane finish that won't fade. It's improved formula flows better, won’t leave brush marks, and has better overcoating & cure times, making it easy to get great results. Each coat provides medium build with excellent flow-out. You'll love how it flows off the brush and self-levels, leaving a smooth durable surface. Gleam gives all wood surfaces a radiant, transparent, warm amber hue in gloss or satin (matte) finish. For a high gloss varnish finish, apply 4-6 coats of Gleam Gloss. For a sleek satin finish, build with coats of the Gleam gloss varnish, and apply Gleam Satin for the final 1-2 coats. Whichever formula you choose, you’ll appreciate that Gleam’s improved formula allows you to scuff and apply additional coats quicker than ever because you can recoat in 1 hr. at 72 degrees F, and apply up to 3 coats in 1 day.

Review: Perfect for outdoor wood bar! - We bought this for a wood counter top bar on our lake pier. This stuff is great! We sanded and cleaned the top. We then applied the gleam varnish with a little sponge roller and let it dry. We sanded again then applied another coat and repeated one more time. This stuff is amazing. The bar is so shiny and slick. It protects it from the sun and rain. It is so easy to clean and wipe off any dirt or spilled substance. If you are looking to protect wood outside whether it is tables, bars or chairs, you will love this. There are some videos on youtube that will show you exactly how to apply it if you search. We are very happy with it. Review: Obviously a superior product (although rather pricey), but I’m waiting for the test of time - 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 desertcart 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. ## Features - CLASSIC MARINE VARNISH contains premium tung oil, phenolic resins and UV blockers for a beautiful transparent amber finish on all types of interior and exterior wood on boats, strip canoes, kayaks, outdoor wooden bar tops, garage doors, furniture and more - DURABLE URETHANE SPAR VARNISH with maximum UV resistance; it remains flexible after curing, and won't peel or crack when the wood expands and contracts with seasonal humidity and temperature changes - EASY TO APPLY BY BRUSHING, ROLLING OR SPRAYING: For a high gloss finish, apply 4-6 coats of Gleam Gloss; for a sleek satin finish, build with coats of Gleam Gloss varnish and use Gleam Satin for the final coats; Application Temp: 45-105F, 0-85% RH - SELF-LEVELING FINISH DRIES FAST: Recoat in 1 hr. @ 72°F; apply up to 3 coats in 1 day; if desired, thin 5-10% with TotalBoat Special Brushing Thinner 100 (brush/roller application) or 10-20% with TotalBoat Spray Thinner 101 (spray application) - AVAILABLE IN GLOSS OR SATIN (low-sheen), in Pint, Quart and Gallon sizes; Coverage: 360-400 sq ft/gallon; Thinner: TotalBoat Special Brushing Thinner 100 (brushing/rolling); TotalBoat Spray Thinner 101 (spraying) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01M6VAALM | | Best Sellers Rank | #10,545 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #11 in Household Polyurethanes, Shellac & Varnish | | Brand | TotalBoat | | Brand Name | TotalBoat | | Compatible Material | Wood | | Coverage | 360-400 sq ft/gal @ 3 mils wet | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,236 Reviews | | Finish Type | Satin | | Finish Types | Satin | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00811932022172 | | Included Components | Varnish | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Highlight | Oil-Based Polyurethane Finish; No Thinning; UV Inhibitors; Wooden Boats, Yacht Brightwork, Furniture & Interior/Exterior Wood | | Item Type Name | Varnish | | Item Weight | 3.76 kg | | Liquid Volume | 1 gallons | | Manufacturer | TotalBoat | | Manufacturer Part Number | 495821 | | Material | Resin | | Material Type | Resin | | Model Number | 495821 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Exterior, Interior | | UPC | 811932022172 | | Unit Count | 128 Fluid Ounces | ## Product Details - **Brand:** TotalBoat - **Finish Type:** Satin - **Liquid Volume:** 1 gallons - **Material:** Resin - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Exterior, Interior ## Images ![TotalBoat Gleam Marine Spar Varnish - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RKhzw78cL.jpg) ![TotalBoat Gleam Marine Spar Varnish - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81rgZT47tkL.jpg) ![TotalBoat Gleam Marine Spar Varnish - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81uys92oU1L.jpg) ![TotalBoat Gleam Marine Spar Varnish - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81mAbiWme0L.jpg) ![TotalBoat Gleam Marine Spar Varnish - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/812pDY2CbJL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: what is epifanes varnish** A: High quality marine varnish **Q: Can this be applied over Total Boat's epoxy resin?** A: Hello, yes it certainly can be. You just want to be sure to wash the amine blush off of the cured epoxy before applying the varnish, if not the varnish will not adhere properly. To remove the blush, wash the surface of the cured epoxy with soap, water and a scotch-brite pad. Thank you. **Q: Is it clear or is it amber colored? Looking to coat an outdoor table with a colored design on it. I do not want it to alter the colors.** A: It is amber. Most outdoor finishes will have an amber tint to them. **Q: is this better then a epoxy resin for live edge bar?** A: It depends on what you're using it for? If it's to protect would from ultraviolet then the only epoxy resin I know that does that is West System which is not a finish coat. You would still have to use a varnish over top of that. I have used total boat Gleam on my boat about a year ago and had excellent results with it. Being able to re coat every 2 to 3 hours as a big deal to me and with enough Coats lasts longer than most varnishes ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for outdoor wood bar! *by B***L on May 1, 2026* We bought this for a wood counter top bar on our lake pier.
