Step 3Learn the stroke

Chart out your areas of attack in a way so you don't have to stop in the middle of a panel. Shake any dust off your brush and fill it with varnish. Brush across (not with) the grain with long strokes. Repeat the process, making a one-inch overlap from where your last stroke ended in order to avoid patches.
