: Ive heard from someone that has done a lot of varnish work that you dont have
: to sand between coats. If you get a good coat down without runs sags
: streaks that you dont have to sand. What do you think?

Well depends on the person doing it and the place that the varnishing is done. Usually you have to sand between coats to get a flat and smooth varnish job.

If you do the varnish in a professional spray booth and have perfect technique and use the correct varnish you might not have to sand.
