TotalBoat Penetrating Epoxy is thin enough to saturate and rebuild rotted, punky wood — yet thick enough to seal and prevent rot.
If you're dealing with rotted wood on a boat, home, or RV, you know that sometimes removing and replacing rotted wood isn't practical or even possible. The ideal solution is to use an epoxy that penetrates deeply into the wood and stops the rot from getting worse. Some other low-viscosity wood rot treatments appear to penetrate, but most of it actually evaporates, leaving only a small percentage of epoxy, making them unsuitable for sealing new wood—and they smell terrible, with noxious fumes. TotalBoat Penetrating Epoxy has an easy-to-use, 2-part, low-viscosity formula that penetrates deeply to stop active rot, bonding the surrounding wood to the rotten wood to solidify it. It also seals, preserves, & protects hard and soft woods from mold, mildew, and salt damage. Its slower cure rate gives the epoxy time to saturate deeply. All without the odor & fumes of other epoxies.
You can prevent rot, but you can't control the weather, so our clear penetrating epoxy sealer comes in two formulas that ensure success in a range of temperatures. Traditional Formula: 65-90°F and Cold Weather Formula: 40-65°F. Our handy kits come in four sizes, so you buy just what you need, reduce waste, and save money.

Even our favorite products, the ones we'd come to rely on, had room for improvement. It'd be nice if they could hold up longer, cure faster, coat better, apply easier, and—since we all know boat ownership creates a mini maelstrom in your pocket—cost less. So we took everything we knew from 35 years of customer feedback, combined that with our own boating knowledge, and after a few years of rigorous R&D, TotalBoat was born. Launched, rather. By boaters, for boaters.
