It delivers exceptional UV resistance and a high-build, amber-clear finish ideal for both interior and exterior brightwork. Available in high gloss or matte, this fast-drying formula offers professional-grade durability and clarity, making it the go-to choice for boaters and woodworkers seeking premium protection and stunning aesthetics. ## Description Lust is the first true one part marine varnish that allows multiple coats in one day, without even sanding between coats. It cures to warm, rich, amber finish. This varnish is truly a special, exciting innovation. Traditional marine varnishes require tedious sanding between coats, and their thin film build means 15, 20 or even more coats. And then there are the marine wood finishes that mimic the look of varnish but are no substitute for the real thing. TotalBoat Lust has a linseed oil modified polyurethane formula for smooth flow-out. But unlike the others, Lust lets you recoat in 1 hour at 72?F, ultimately up to 5 coats in one day. Its strong UV properties make it a great choice for brightwork. Sold in Quarts only. All TotalBoat products are developed for boaters, by boaters. We know what works, and what doesn't. Review: I bought a supposedly varnished bridge online, after 2 rain storms it leached chemicals into my koi pond and looked like garbage. I am a super newbie at this whole wood finishing thing. So, I searched everywhere for an environmentally safe varnish or sealer that wont drip chemicals into my pond- THIS IS IT!! In both before and after pictures, you can see the beauty of this candy coating (I used Amber High Gloss). Since I was pressed for time, I did NOT sand this, re-stain it, scrape it, or anything! I literally took the 5ft bridge on the left with a paint brush and a pint of this High Gloss Lust Boat sealer and this was the result! I did NOT thin this product or alter it in anyway, it goes on like painting with honey & I slathered it on thick! I used the entire pint in 1 day, and did a total of 3 full coats on the bottom & 3 full coats on the top (pictured) Taking a total of 7hrs in the month of May down in sunny Naples (very south) Florida. Even as thick as I laid it down, it was dry and ready to go again in 1.5hrs per coat with minimal fumes. I was amazed that it filled in the claw marks from cats using the bridge as a scratching post. It revived all the yellow water stains, and other imperfections- no buffing, no sanding, no scraping- NO PREP WORK! JUST BEAUTIFUL COVERAGE (for a great price)!!! Review: Only reason why it’s getting 4 stars is you will need a lot to get the finish you want. High quality just need to make sure you put 5-7 coats with sanding In between. ## Features - Exceptional durability, clarity, finish retention, and UV resistance are ideal for interior and exterior brightwork. - The first true one-part spar varnish to allow rapid recoating. - High-build, fast-drying formula lets you apply multiple coats per day without sanding between coats. - Sand with 320 grit before the final coat and be done varnishing in a little over 1 day. - Available in High Gloss or Matte finishes.

Thank you. **Q: Can I use mineral spirits to thin for brush application instead of xylene? I read that it's thick and I have mineral spirits on hand.** A: I used mineral spirits with no problem, dry time was slightly longer but no noticeable issues in my opinion (I am not a professional or the producer) **Q: Has anyone used this on exterior log posts on a log home? Will it peel off later?** A: I have used this product on a wood cabinet on a boat. I placed 8 coats of this varnish on the cabinet. The varnish is holding up very well. It is not peeling during the last 3 months. **Q: How well would it cover dry oil paint?** A: I don't know. I think the condition of the paint would matter. Smooth, rough, cracked, peeling. I would contact the manufacturer customer service. I had some questions when doing my project and found them very helpful. I put the varnish on over their marine epoxy, which was over oil paint and had no trouble with it. Again, their customer service is a better source of info. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by I***H on 13 May 2025* I bought a supposedly varnished bridge online, after 2 rain storms it leached chemicals into my koi pond and looked like garbage.

High quality just need to make sure you put 5-7 coats with sanding In between. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***B on 28 February 2026* This stuff is awesome. I used it for a nautical wood project. DONT SKIP THE THINNER. I did and there were fairly obvious brush strokes. I ended up sanding it mostly off and refinishing with thinner, which turned out like glass. If you forgot the thinner like me and are rushing, you can get epifanes thinner at west marine in a pinch. Probably better to just order the TB brand thinner from the start. ## Frequently Bought Together - TotalBoat Lust Marine Varnish, High Gloss and Matte Finish for Wood, Boats, Outdoor Furniture (High Gloss, Pint) - TotalBoat Special Brushing Thinner 100 (Quart) - TotalBoat Wood Sealer - Marine Grade Sanding Sealer and Pre Varnish Primer for Boats and Wood (Quart) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/434044938-totalboat-lust-marine-varnish](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/434044938-totalboat-lust-marine-varnish) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
