## Overview

Its fast-drying, low-VOC formula allows up to 5 coats per day without sanding, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor projects.

## Description

TotalBoat Halcyon Marine Gloss Varnish and Satin Varnish let you create a beautiful finish in clear light amber and ultra clear formulas. The regular Halcyon formula dries to a clear gloss finish with a slight amber tone that has the beauty of a traditional marine spar varnish, but with greater clarity, abrasion resistance & sun protection. It enhances the natural wood grain and won't turn cloudy or hazy. The more coats applied, the richer and warmer the finish. Halcyon Clear cures to a gloss or satin finish with a natural tone that won't discolor lighter woods or muddy the grain of darker woods. It enhances the grain and won't leave it stale and dimensionless like other clear finishes can. For a satin finish, build with coats of gloss and finish with clear satin. This one part polyurethane wood varnish needs no mixing - just pour it out of the bag and it's ready to apply by brushing, rolling or spraying. Halcyon's forgiving formula flows smoothly, lays down evenly & dries fast so you can finish varnishing in hours, not days or weeks. Recoat in as little as 1 hour and apply up to 5 coats in 1 day, no sanding between coats. For interior applications, apply at least 2-4 coats; at least 4-6 coats for exterior. Once cured, it provides superior protection from sun damage, rainy weather, abrasion and scratches. Ideal for marine, indoor & outdoor furniture and trim. Eco-friendly ultra low VOC water based marine varnish limits exposure to harmful chemicals and makes soap and water cleanup easy. Unique resealable Pour Pak(TM) bag eliminates messy drips and prevents the skinning over & waste associated with metal cans. Compare to all waterbased finishes, oil modified, polycrylic and conventional urethane spar varnishes like McCloskley Man O War, Minwax Helmsman, Rustoleum, Varathane, Epifanes, General Finishes, Arm R Seal, System Three or Deft. All TotalBoat products are developed to provide great value and great results. 100% made in the USA.

Review: Still Looks Brand New After a Full Year Outdoors - I used Halcyon Gloss Marine Water-Based Varnish on a cedar fire pit cover that lives outdoors year-round, and I’ve been really impressed with how it’s held up. After a full year of exposure to sun, rain, and everything in between, it still looks like new - no peeling, no cloudiness, and the gloss finish has stayed sharp. Application was about as easy as it gets. It goes on smoothly with no noticeable brush marks, and the water-based formula makes a big difference - no strong odor and cleanup is quick with just soap and water. If you want a durable outdoor finish without the hassle of traditional varnish, this is a great option. I’d definitely use it again.
Review: Love this sealer! Will be using on all wood projects! - I make handcrafted wooden flags and this was my first time using this sealer. I absolutely loved it! Went on easy. I poured a little and rolled it on with a small roller. Dried perfectly and quickly. Was able to add 5 coats without any problems. I used the gloss finish. Added a beautiful touch to the 5 1/2' flag!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this varnish
*by T***Y on August 3, 2026*

Used this for the first time 2 days ago. Applied to exterior wood window frames that get filtered sun to mostly shade. Started at about 55 deg. and finished at about 70 degrees for 4 coats of the amber gloss and 5th coat with the clear satin. It dried to touch within 30 to 40 minutes between coats, brushed on easily and smoothly, and very happy with the finished result. Remains to be seen as to UV protection and durability however so far very happy with this varnish. Odorless, beautiful appearance, no sanding between coats and cleans up nicely with just soap and water. I plan to use it again and highly recommended.
