Got 2nd coat of varnish on today. Very weird to scratch coat #1 with a green scotchbrite pad. But important to give the next coat a physical surface to grip. One spot on coat 1 had a small run, this was smoothed out and coat 2 does not show it at all. With 3 coats still to go I cannot believe the deep gloss this baby shows! Ang was instrumental in getting coat 2 this smooth. I applied varnish while she "tipped it out" by gently removing all bubbles and brushing all varnish in a single direction. During the apply apply apply tip out stage you really only have about 1 to 2 minutes work time to get it right. Any mistakes get sanded before next coat. As a team we rolled right through it.
