This varnish is so easy to work with and get the results you want. Clean up is a breeze.

It went on perfectly. I used a HVLP sprayer.

Very impressive product, the first time I have tried water based varnish it has performed well

We need tro buy in gallons not pints so the pint price is too high for our commercial use - no larger quantity prices offered on website.

I used this varnish as a first attempt for my outdoor furniture and the sunbeds. I live directly over the water in the Caribbean part of Panama, where the weather conditions are very difficult for outdoor furnitures. After several weeks I can recommend this product. It is much better than all the other products I bought. It lasts much longer, is easy to handle and even with seven to eight coats a sunbed is finished after one day. You only need to do this at the first time. Then later you can paint it without sanding every six months.

The Halcyon Marine finish laid down nicely on the Southern Yellow Pine that I used to make the Grand Daddy of Adirondack chairs. Total Boat was right~ each coat brought out more beauty in the wood. I used three coats and the customer was very impressed when he saw the finished results ~ so was I. It's not a boat and here in Minnesota there is no salt water but we do have weather extremes that are unpredictable every day. The real test is Mother Nature and time. I'll review next year with an update, but until then all has been great.

I am blown away by TotalBoat Halcyon Marine Varnish! It is so easy to apply, easy to clean up and dries in a flash. I use this product for wood coasters and it has allowed me to quadruple my production time because of the ease of applying and dry time. 100% recommend!!!!

USED HALCYON TO REFINISH THE TEAK FLOORS ON OUR KADY KROGEN 42. AFTER COMPLETELY REMOVIING THE OLD VARNISH FINISH TO BARE WOOD I APPLIED FOUR COATS OF HALCYON. THE PRODUCT LAYED OUT FLAT WITH NO BRUSH STROKES EVIDENT. RECOATING IN ABOUT AN HOUR MADE FOR EASY FLOOR REFINISHING. NOT HAVING TO DEAL WITH ODOR WAS A PLUS AS WAS THE BAG PACKAGING. GLOSS WAS A LITTLE LESS THAN REGULAR VARNISH BUT BETTER THAN ACCEPTABLE WHEN WEIGHED AGAINST EASE OF USE. FINISH APPEARS TO BE HARD AND RESISTANT TO SCUFFING.

I totally sanded and refinished my daughter's cedar adirondack chair while she was at a wedding for a surprise. All of her outdoor furniture has a matt finish, so I ordered the Halcyon Marine Varnish in Matt. Unfortunately, reading the directions on the container, Totalboat highly recommend applying the Amber finish first before the Matt finish. Too late to order the Amber and meet my deadline, so I applied 5 coats of Matt and found out why they recommended the Amber first. I just ordered the Amber and hope its not too late to achieve a quality and good looking finished chairs with lots of coats of varnish. Maybe I missed their recommendation on their website, not sure.

I've been impressed with the outcome of recent projects using water based products so I thought I'd give Total Boat Halcyon varnish a try for a restoration of my 1983 Old Town Canadienne. It's a Kevlar boat with no gel coat so the varnish is important for UV protection. After stripping years of assorted varnish layers, doing some epoxy repair on the hull, replacing some rotten gunwale, and adding Dynel skid plates I was ready for varnish. Applied with a roller the Halcyon went on smoothly. It has a nice viscosity and you do need to be mindful that it dries quickly. I chose the amber product (I like the oil based varnish look) and am pretty satisfied with the result. 3 coats on the outer hull in one day is a nice bonus too. Water based technology is getting pretty good so don't be afraid to make the switch, although you do have to adapt your application technique a bit. All products for this project came from Jamestown Distributors.
