I brushed, 10 coats in total, left about 4 or 5 days between coats and rubbed down with 240 grit wet/dry between each coat.
I always put a couple of drops of washing up solution in the water I use, after rub down I then wash with clean warm soapy water, allow to dry, leave for a day or so to ensure it is completely dry, then wipe over with a soft cloth soaked in white spirit. Allow that to dry naturally, tack cloth it then varnish.
It worked for me!
In order to reduce the tine dust b#####s, leave your lights on as the varnish dries (they create static which attracts dust, and have a bucket full of clean water near where you are working, this also attracts dust.
If you have a dust free cabinet - use it!
Its a slow process, but the results are worth it.
