TotalBoat Special Brushing Thinner 100

Used this to thin both for brushing and HVLP. Worked great for the latter, but even more brilliant for brushing Lust.

Item is what you need when working with wet edge because it needs to go on thin.

I used Brushing thinner 100 for thinning varnish, Gleam 2.0, And for cleaning brushes after. It was a great thinner and worked well with inaccurate ""eye"" measuring. As a brush cleaner I was really amazed how quick it worked compared to mineral spirits. The brushed came out real clean, ready for the next job.

I followed directions to a tee also sanded off old bottom paint which was 4 coats thick. yes, that sucked but it was well worth it. 1 gal covered 2 coats on a 28 ft sportcraft I also used the brush thinner and made it easy to apply with a roller!!

We were told not to thin the last coat or it wouldn't have full shine. We worked in an environment where we needed the flow and time the thinner affords to get the swim deck restored. Fortunately, the thinner didn't take anything at all away fromt he beautiful gloss coat of the Lust finish

Works great, but not necessarily needed for wipe down in between layers when you can use Denatured Alcohol instead.

i wiped down hull after i used fairing compound and it made it mushy, i wiped down hull after i primed it and it turned to mush, maybe its me but i can't get total boat to work for me, never had so much trouble

I used this in combination with Total Boat Lust. I had an outdoor furniture project which turned out very nice.

As advertised, for prep. The can leaked a few ounces in shipping - recommend better packing.

I haven't used this product yet. However, even though arrows were placed on the outside of the shipping box indicating what side should face up. UPS doesn't always follow those stickers. A small bit of the thinner had leaked. Not much, but could definitely smell it.

I went with the recommendations but don't think it's any better than off the shelf mineral spirits.

My trouble started with ordering your paint for the bilge of my boat. The bilge of my boat is in fiber glass but the annexed lazaretto which had to be completely rebuilt and painted, is of wood. The bilge paint did not cure when applied on wood. I called your office and talked to Nick. He told me I had to remove the paint from all the wood (a three day job) and repaint it with the same paint adding 10 % of Thinner 100. I proceeded to give him my credit card etc etc and I was promised I would get the product in the next 2 days. The product arrived 2 weeks later. I was told you had run out of it. By the time the product arrived the paint had dried almost completely so I decided not to follow Nick instructions. The painting of the fiberglass portion presented no problem. The moral of this story is: 1. I strongly suggest to caution users in painting over wood with this bilge paint. It does not seem to be good for wood even if 10% of the thinner is added. 2. I also strongly suggest to instruct your people that when a promise is made to a client it must be kept, otherwise the organization and its products loose the confidence of people.

I use West 407 low density filler mixed with epoxy resin to fair the skiff I'm building. It works exactly as advertised, and sands pretty easily.

Buy it by the gallon. It has lots of uses, especially if you read and follow the suggestions on the side of other Total Boat products...(Wet Edge, Lust etc.) There is not one Total Boat product that has turned out to be less than I expected. Great Stuff, Sure E nough!

Please make it easier to pour out of the can for the love of pete!

Great stuff thins and gives slower drying so brush strokes lay down

This product is not useful when applying varnish to a vertical surface ie mast or transom. In my case the thinner only caused the varnish to run and drip more. I would have done better with a thickener. A waste of money for me!

This worked very well with Brightside and when doing the interprotect barrier coat. Much better price too.

This was recommended to go with the Total Boat Wet Edge topside paint and I'm so glad I purchased it! Works great and does exactly what its supposed to do. Sure thinner is thinner but in the use case of painting boats I'd go with this since its specifically formulated for use with boat paints!

Bought the thinner, one part primer and wet edge topcoat. Applied per instructions and very pleased with the results. Also needed to cancel an order and did so with no hassle. Thanks to the folks at J.D

find the right % and you could throw the paint on and t will lay down !

I used the product to thin varnish and to clean up.

don't even think about painting your topsides without it!

A must have for topside painting with Wet Edge.You won't regret having it on hand.
