TotalBoat

If I wasn't obsessing about a new project it wasn't me.

Hey, just a friendly reminder that you're leaving points on the table! Our Double Points Weekend runs April 9–12, meaning TotalPerks members earn 2X points on every single dollar spent. Stock up on paint, epoxy, varnish... whatever your project needs, and watch those rewards add up. Not in TotalPerks yet? It's free to join, and you get 25 points the second you sign up!

For the fix that blends in by standing out 😎 We are so excited to announce our new edition to the TotalBond line! TotalBond Black CA Glue pairs easy control with void-filling performance and an opaque black finish that works beautifully on the right projects, where a black finish makes the fix look even better.

It's almost that time... Who's got some bottom-painting on their to-do list?

Did someone say... the best varnish to ever exist? 👀 Ok, maybe not *the best* (because Gleam exists too)...but it's pretty top tier and a product we're super proud of. Not only is it great for marine applications, it's amazing for woodworkers and makers alike because it is so user-friendly!

Name a better duo… we’ll wait. 👀 Did you know our TotalBoat Signature Wood Stain and TotalBoat Legacy Wipe-On Polyurethane Gel Wood Finish work perfectly together? Just apply the stain, let it dry for at least 30 minutes, and then wipe on Legacy for a rich, durable finish that brings out the best in your wood grain.

Did you know that our new Signature Wood Stain works with all of our varnishes? Simply allow it to dry for 30-45 minutes before applying solvent-based coatings, or a minimum of 24 hours before applying water-based finishes (like Halcyon). That's is, easy peasy!

So, which basket are you choosing?

I mean...if we didn't secretly love it, would it all be worth it in the end? What is something you secretly don't mind about the process no matter how much patience it involves?

Well, it's confirmed - it doesn't get any better than our Legacy! 😂🙌 Sure, the product name is long (try saying 'Legacy Wipe-On Polyurethane Gel Wood Finish' five times fast). However, it is already gaining attention in the community as a very easy finish that anyone can use. With Legacy, you can get a hand-rubbed look without the hassle. It brings out the natural glow of wood with an easy wipe-on, satin finish that makers love.
