First strip the wood in question. Just peel all that paint and earlier varnishes that have worn off. Then once it's clean, use a wide brush and apply broad strokes.

First clean the wood then apply varnish sealer as the first coat using a clean brush with natural bristles. Smooth the surface using sandpaper when it dries and then apply varnish. Once each coat dries sand it lightly before applying the next coat.

The temprature when varnishing is one of the most important things. The temp of the wood should be 70-80 degrees and not below 60. Varnishing on hot humidy, rainy, muggy days should also be avoided. Work in a well ventalated area also.

The temperature should be warm, because it makes the varnish flow smoothly on the surface of the object that is to be varnish. Moisture in the air should be normal so it will dry quickly. The room should have good ventalization . Surface clean and apply with a cheese cloth.
