A
Certainly ... it depends what type of varnish it is as to which pad will give you the best result. If you are working with a traditional varnish ... turps clean up ... it's thick and heavy ... treat it just like a full gloss enamel ... use the medium brush with the standard multi purpose pad for a spray gun finish. A lot of the newer acrylic varnishes ... water based ... on the markes ... are very thin and runny in consistency ... in which case our new Stain and Varnish pads will give you a better finish as they are specifically designed with a shorter finer bristle to give a superb french polish finish with the thinner runnier timber mediums.
