Total Boat Lust

Based on comments here on the forum, I tried Lust, from Total Boat. I'm impressed! Dont know how long lasting or durable it will be, but so far, great. This is 3 of a planned 10 coats.

Looks great. Send photos of the 10th and updates to the longevity of the product.

Forgot to ask, are you sanding between coats? They say it’s recommended that you do not have to and you can apply 3 to 5 coats per day. What are your findings?

 

[dottieshusband]

No sanding between coats, and recoats in an hour based on temp. If you go over 48 hours between coats, sanding is recommended. Little thinner than epifanes.. but no sanding is a real time saver.

Bring it to Florida for testing. You can't test varnish up there.

Looks good like all your work. Interested in seeing how it holds up.

I coat much the same way with Epiphanes; recoat when dry to the touch as long as it hasn't been over 24hrs. Never had an issue.

But I don't do much of that anymore as most everything is covered with Imron MS1 clear for the past few years.

Is this a 2 part product, or in the "Cat Mast" Video did they thin the first coat for better penetration?

Total Boat Lust is a 1 part product, and only the 1st coat is thinned.. 50/50 with mineral spirits. I usually use epiphanes, but I like this product much, much better. No sanding between coats, 1-2 hour recoat times, up to 24 hours before a sanding would be required.

Can anyone tell me how much longer the 2 part systems last ? Are they worth it ?
Thanks Ray

I used Bristol Finish a few back and it really didn’t last much longer. It is a two part finish like others I found the results to be a little hit or miss

I ve also used West system epoxy (2 coats) followed by clear Awlgrip. Long lasting but more difficult to use.

For the last few years I ve switched to Awlwood Gloss. It s a one part finish which you apply after a coat of Awlwood primer. No sanding between coats. I use it on the classic gaffer I built and we recoat every year... and that’s in south Florida ...
