AwlGrip Awlwood MA Clear Primer — Quart (98-J3809Q)
The Awlwood MA Clear Primer is the foundation of the Awlwood MA exterior clear system — a two-part solution designed to protect and beautify natural wood on boats and marine structures. Unlike traditional varnishes that sit on the surface, this primer penetrates deep into the wood’s cellular structure, bonding at a molecular level for a finish that flexes with the wood, resists delamination, and holds its appearance season after season.
Pair it with the Awlwood MA Gloss Finish or Awlwood MA Clear Matte Finish to complete the system.
Compatible Applications
- Teak and tropical hardwood decks, toerails, and trim
- Cabin sole and interior wood surfaces exposed to moisture
- Exterior brightwork on sailboats and powerboats
- Use as the primer coat in the full Awlwood MA system
Key Features
- Penetrates deep into wood grain — even dense tropical hardwoods
- Bonds directly to the wood’s cellular structure for superior adhesion
- Flexible formula resists delamination at impact and damage points
- High-performance colorants preserve the natural tone and grain of the wood as it ages
- Maintains original gloss, clarity, and appearance over time
- Quart size — ideal for single-project or touch-up use
Parts Desk Insights
Best Use Case: This primer is the essential first step when building a new Awlwood MA finish on bare or stripped wood. It’s especially effective on teak and other tropical hardwoods that are notoriously difficult to coat — the deep penetration gives the topcoat something to grip, dramatically extending the life of the finish. For best results, follow with the Awlwood MA Gloss Finish and thin with the Awlwood MA Brushing Reducer if needed for warm-weather application.
