Default Re: Varnishing Help and Advice Sought

I have never been able to get a good finish using water based varnishes compared to PU varnish.

I also use the method mentioned in post 4, using good old smelly PU varnish and a cloth.
It takes time using many thin coates, then leaving the item for a couple of weeks to allow the varnish to thoroughly cure/dry whatever. Then I use a fine cutting paste followed by a car type dry wash/wax to remove the residue and give the cabinet a polish. Here is a bush vhf64 cabinet I am working on.
