1).. A brush leaves brush marks.

2).. A roller leaves air bubbles.

I'm not talking a big, stiff rubber squeegee... more like a piece of thick cardboard or a piece of 0.030" thick stiff plastic .

: You can either brush it on directly or use the "roll and tip
: method", which is faster and covers large areas better.

: I can't think of a single good reason to squeegee varnish.
