Crystal Clear Epoxy Hardener

The clearest solution for clear coating applications

After investing money and countless hours building a wooden shell from scratch, you want to choose the best marine epoxy resin and hardener combination for a bright finish or clear coating. Same goes if you’re taking a previous mistake down to bare wood and starting over. Or maybe you want to show off carbon fiber's cool black-on-black texture.

Pair TotalBoat Crystal Clear Hardener with our Traditional Epoxy Resin to wet out fiberglass or carbon fiber for layups. It cures to an ultra clear, hard, moisture-resistant finish. Use it to seal wood and create a moisture barrier that prevents stretching and shrinking so varnish topcoats adhere better and last longer. Professional boat builders and painters use such clear resin systems to build thickness faster, so fewer finishing coats of varnish are needed. Get the same clarity as using multiple coats of varnish, with greater protection and finish longevity than using varnish alone.
