EPIFANES vs TOTALBOAT varnishes PART 2 Choose the BEST VARNISH for boat restorations, wood working

Which has better flow? What colors are they really? Do you have to sand between coats? Get all the answers in this two part video. A realistic look and comparison of Epifanes and Totalboat gloss vanish, the good and the bad, and which product to pick for your varnish project. You'll want to watch this before you buy your next varnish! I have no affiliation with either product, just a boat owner who has used both and could never find a comparison of them.

    OK, you got my subscription and like. I've watched other varnish comparison videos, which I liked too, but you brought new aspects for consideration. Appreciate the video, the efforts and that you are restoring an older boat. And I probably enjoyed the shaking of the cans too.

    Very good vid. I recently purchased a 1986 Sea Ray 300 Sundancer. A LOT of teak. I had at one point said i would not buy a boat with a lot of teak because of the work. Since the price was right and I knew how the boat was maintained I bit the bullet. The first thing I did was removed the swim platform inserts to refurbish during the winter. Well I have spent countless hours on youtube learning what to do. I got lots of procedure but the products used were many and confusing as to what to do and what to do it with and why. Asprin was my lunch and dinner.... until now. Thank you man for your simple to understand instructions, product advice and why.

    Which lasts longer? Sapele gunnels on old Boston Whaler. Lots of sun exposure.

    Thanks for this video, great info. Just wondering how either of these would look like on outdoor pine wood? Restoring a 1928 cottage style 4 bedroom house in a rural development in Pennsylvania. Hope to hear what you think... Thanks

    I have some red cedar live edge OUTDOOR bartops that I need to seal and protect. After researching and speaking to several people...it seems as if varnish is the way to go. I was thinking about Epifanes. Do you recommend Total Boat instead? It will have all weather exposure from the Kentucky weather. I'm also new to the process. Just built a pool bar and decided to do the live edge bartops. Any helpful information will be appreciated 🙂

    Hi Brenda, They are both going to perform very similar, the color is a tad different. The benefit to us is the quick recoat time and no sanding in between coats. I have been told Epifanes has a rapid coat product also but haven't seen it out here on the west coast. Sounds like a great project. Thanks for watching.

    Total Boat Lust should be thinned with their specialized thinner for larger projects. Really it's better to thin 50% with xylene and spray it and then 25% for all the next coats. Why brush a whole cabin, that is just way too slow. Total Boat Lust can be recoated in an hour or 2 and there is no need to sand between coats, if you can spray even. I have used both products and TB Lust is not only more durable it can be layered faster. It is more of a pro product though and takes more skill to apply. For DIYers I recommend TB Gleam 2.0, it levels a little better and had longer work time.

    So far it acts really well for our weather: humidity, UV, and salt water. I personally think It should do well in your region. I would advice to call Total Boat. They have outstanding customer service and I called them on many occasions about their products. They are very helpful. We are not sponsored by them in any ways. Just trying to see what product works best for our projects.

    With all due respect. This is not an apples to apples comparison. 1.) Epihanes recommends thinning for this varnish. If you didn’t want to thin, than you should compare TB to Epiphanes Rapid Coat or RapidClear varnish. 2.) Thinning will affect flow, penetration/ bond and finish. 3.) Cost: Of course TB is cheaper, it already is prethined in the can. Thinner is far cheaper than pure varnish. 4.) Budget: Time is Money. Frequency of varnishing and performance should be a major consideration. Just saying…
