Another response to reumiser - I first grain-fill and seal the wood with epoxy, then apply a water-based finish (several coats) using a brush. Each coat is levelled with fine wet and dry paper before the next is applied. The final coat is rubbed down (using water) to a smooth finish, with 1200 grit wet-and-dry then buffed using a buffing compound. The result is a hard mirror finish equal to any sprayed lacquer. If you don't understand what you're talking about, best to keep your mouth shut.
What rock did you crawl out from under "ruemiser"??? I couldn't agree more with dickey335. Varnish has been applied by brush for about 700 years at least, more if you count early lacquered instruments in China. I know we can't all be doctors but you are on the net. Check around bro. I am all about progress but new tech isn't always better than old, we just like to be arrogant and believe that it is!
In response to ruemiser...How do you think varnish was applied for centuries before spray equipment? Just because something is new to you doesn't make it weird.
Perfect!!!
