For brush or roller applications, TotalBoat Special Brushing Thinner 100 can be used to thin specified solvent-based TotalBoat paints to make them flow more smoothly. Improved flow characteristics make application easier, enhance the finish quality, and extend the service life of the coating.
Special Brushing Thinner 100 can also be used in warmer temperature conditions to give you more wet edge working time and improve flow for TotalBoat Topside Primer, TotalBoat TotalBilge, and TotalBoat Lust Spar Varnish.
When you’re done painting, use Brushing Thinner 100 to get the paint off your tools and equipment quickly and thoroughly.

In addition, Spray Thinner 101 is the recomended thinner for spray application of most TotalBoat one-part finishes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Can Brushing Thinner 100 be used with all TotalBoat products?
TotalBoat Special Brushing Thinner 100 is not for use with all TotalBoat products. It is formulated especially for use with TotalBoat Wet Edge topside paint, TotalGold, TotalTread non-skid paint, and others. Do not use this thinner with JD Select, Aluminum Boat Topside Paint, Envy 2-Part Varnish, Inflatable Boat Paint, 2-Part Epoxy Primers, TotalProtect, or Aluminum Boat Barrier Coat. -
What is the difference between Brushing Thinner 100 and Acetone?
TotalBoat Brushing Thinner 100 solvent contains high flash naphtha, not acetone. -
Can Brushing Thinner 100 be used with one part paints from other manufacturers?
In general, yes. Although Special Brushing Thinner 100 was originally formulated to improve the flow of Wet Edge topside paint, TotalTread Non-Skid paint, 1-part varnishes, and others, it may also be used with other 1-part polyurethane finishes. -
Is this solvent intended only for use in warm weather?
No, it’s not intended for use only in warmer temperatures. However, although Thinner 100 is the recommended brushing thinner for most TotalBoat one-part, solvent-based finishes, you may prefer thinning with TotalBoat Spray Thinner 101 for faster dry times when brushing/rolling in cooler conditions that typically slow the evaporation rate. -
How much Thinner 100 should be used for varnishing in warm weather?
Thin the first coat of TotalBoat Gleam or Lust varnish 50% with Thinner 100. For a high gloss, thin later coats no more than 8 to 10%. You may even thin the final coat as little as 5%. -
What is the right way to add this solvent to the paint or varnish you are using it with?
Add TotalBoat Special Brushing Thinner 100 slowly and carefully to the paint or varnish to avoid spillage. Then, mix it thoroughly until the desired viscosity is reached. -
Why would you need to use this thinner when painting, priming, or varnishing?
Using Thinner 100 will create a smoother flow, making it easier to apply paint, primer, or varnish. Due to its slower drying properties, Thinner 100 extends the working time in warm weather conditions.
