Home Repair & Power Tools : How to Apply Varnish

One mistake in this video info, the oil based dries a lot slower then water based, not faster.

im making a sword handle about 12cm long it isn't that wide and i'm afraid that it will all set at the bottom any tips?

can't help but comment....don't sand against the grain...rarely is your project so small, brush back into the work you just did quickly to reduce overlaps - especially with waterbase because it dries so fast....large flat areas you can roll on and tip off with a brush...single strokes , lay it on, don't brush in

I did exactly as you taught but my water based varnish dried too fast , so I've got an uneven surface. Now I need another video how to strip the old one.
