Step 4Even out and level the varnish surface

Once you've covered the panel you will go back over and work with the grain. Remove any excess varnish from your brush on the rim of the can, then brush lightly over the wood surface. If too much varnish builds up on your brush as you continue, swipe it along the rim of the can to dry it off. Brush over the wood surface only once, making the coat as smooth and even as possible.
